I'm sure the timing isn't a coincidence, although it's been asserted as long as a year ago by a British general sans pix. So, the claims are nothing new, just the attention and emphasis given to the claims in the form of producing the pix. If you look at the slides presented, many are certainly not recent.

Me, I'm concerned about wratcheting the heat up too much, as it will only serve to strengthen the hand of Ahmadinejad at a time when his popular domestic support is on shaky ground.
