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.

Obama and the THREAT from Iran

The New York Times: Reports that the Obama Administration is building up its missile defence protection in the Persian Gulf, the article states the following, " placing special ships off the Iranian coast and antimissile systems in at least four Arab countries, according to administration and military officials. ". It can be postulated that the Obama Administration is following the Cold War model when it comes to Iran, as with the USSR, the USA is seems is following a containment policy, the question that has to be asked is Obama another Harry Truman, does he have the right policy, over all the Truman policy worked but it was Reagan that wanted to finish off the USSR, thus Obama needs a containment plus, keep Iran at bay but also making sure that the regime in Tehran can be undermined, the same policy Reagan followed when it came to Poland and the USSR. It should be noted that Truman had dropped nuclear bombs on Japan thus he was seen as a strong President, while Obama is seen as weak by the rest of the world. The real question is will Israel trust the Obama Administration, if Israel thinks Obama will sell out Israel they will attack Iran, just ask Iraq and Syria if Israel will wait, the answer is no, thus interesting time ahead folks.
