Intelligence Brief: U.S. Moves to Regain Leverage over Iran

Posted by Matt in January 25th, 2007

In September 2004, PINR released an in-depth report on Iran’s foreign policy objectives. According to the report, the “best-case scenario for Iran is that the U.S. military is forced to withdraw from Iraq, leaving Iran with a dominant sphere of influence over a Shi’a-dominated Iraq or a breakaway Shi’a mini-state in the south, and that Iran is able to achieve nuclear weapons capability. Were this outcome to occur, Iran would be the dominant power in the Persian Gulf, displacing the United States.”

Iran’s worst-case scenario, according to the report, “is that the United States or Israel launches a preemptive strike on Iran’s nuclear complex, possibly associated with American military efforts at regime change.” [See: "Iran's Bid for Regional Power: Assets and Liabilities"]

AIPAC is pushing us to war with Iran for Israel
We must not allow anyone to push us into a war with Iran. Wesley Clark told Arianna Huffington about the push for war on Iran, "How can you talk about bombing a country when you won't even talk to them?" said Clark. "It's outrageous. We're the United States of America; we don't do that." "When we asked him what made him so sure the Bush administration was headed in this direction, he replied: "You just have to read what's in the Israeli press. The Jewish community is divided but there is so much pressure being channeled from the New York money people to the office seekers."" "For Clark, this is the biggest foreign policy issue facing the U.S. "I'm worried about the surge," he said. "But I'm worried about this even more."", Huffington wrote on her...

U.S Navy & Iran stand-off in strait of Hormuz - iranian side
Iranian boats encounter U.S navy video in strait of hormoz. U.S claims that the boat have threatened to explode the warships. This video is released by english language iranian sponsored Press TV. Video released U.S. Pentagon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNL6DyH_IfA The New York Times noted on Wednesday that the US-released audio includes no ambient noise of the kind that might be expected if the broadcast had come from on one of the speedboats. Pentagon officials said the voice heard in the video clip is not directly traceable to the Iranian military, but could still have come from a high quality radio on one of the small boats, the paper reported. http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/01/10/degrees-of-confidence-on-us-iran-naval-incident/

Inside story - US-Iraq security deal - 08 Jun 08 - Part 1
Upon arrival in Tehran, Iraq's Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has told Iranian officials that a security deal between the US and Iraq will not threaten Iran. Iran has made no secret of its opposition to the current negotiations going on between Iraq and the US, which are aimed at regulating the presence of US forces in the country after their UN mandate expires at the end of 2008. Can such a treaty take effect while maintaining Iraqi sovereignty and not posing a threat to Iran?
