It is clear from the joint meeting between USA and Russia that Iran is fast becoming to the top of the International Agenda, President Obama and President Medvedev have started to use tougher language with Iran, Obama stated the following, " We are now running out of time......And so I discussed with President Medvedev the fact that we have to continue to maintain urgency and that our previous discussions confirming the need for a dual-track approach are still the right approach to take. And we believe that the United States and Russia will continue to urge Iran to take the path that leads them to meeting its international obligations. We can't count on that, and we will begin to discuss and prepare for these other pathways. " One has to wonder does that mean military options, because to avoid a very hot Middle East any attack on Iran would have to be done by the USA not Israel. Even Russia might be seeing the light, President Medvedev stated the following, " At the same time, as reasonable politicians, I hope we understand that any process must be terminant. Negotiation process is not for the pleasure of the process itself, but it is done in order to reach practical, specific outcomes. In this case, our goal is clear: it is transparent, up-to-date, peaceful program -- not a program that would raise questions or concerns from the international community. We're prepared to work further and I hope that our joint work will yield in positive results. In case we fail, the other options remain on the table in order to move the process in a different direction. " Might the USA and Russia both attack Iran, it would be new for the international system for these two powers to work together, but a more realist path would be for the USA to attack Iran while Russia does not oppose. The clock is ticking folks, either Iran backs down or the USA or Israel will have to hit Iran.
