Pressure on Iran by Obama Administration

Guardian: Takes its lead from recent reports in the USA that the Obama Administration is building up its missile defence in the Persian Gulf, the article states the following, " appears to be a deliberate attempt by the White House to ratchet up pressure on Iran ahead of attempts to increase sanctions against the country. ". It can be argued that the elite left in the USA and the UK do not want to deal with Iran in a serious matter, a recent article in the liberal NYT pointed out all the problem with the regime in Tehran and the answer, do nothing and wait, well if the Israel waits it might find that Iran has the bomb and become a direct threat to Israel. Thus as stated in previous post it looks like Obama is going for a policy of containment, lets see if it works, also will Israel buy the product, it easy for Obama to state containment, its Israel that has a greater threat to its existence. It really depends what Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency thinks the chances of a nuclear armed Iran is, if they see it a direct threat the government in Israel will take action and Obama will have to support them, otherwise a failed one term President. Iran is will be the major flash point this year folks, lets see if Obama can go beyond his own arrogance and deal with Iran in a military manner.
