What's this?

Heard on the radio yesterday that the reports of imminent Iranian response

was not our intelligence intercepting messages, but a message relayed from Iran through Turkey that told us exactly what they were going to do. Israel should do nothing, or blow up some Iranian sand if Netanyahu feels so week that he has to show something.
