Experts confirm that the U.S. strike against multiple targets in Iran is positively in the pipeline; only its date remains uncertain. Current White Hall speculation is that the U.S. will strike Iran's nuclear sites at some obscure date vaguely described as sometime later this year or next.

Political intelligence experts based in Washington, D.C., advise

the president's popularity continues its precipitous decline. ....

political pressures on the U.S.-backed government in Iraq.
