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...

Riz Khan - US-Iran relations - 23 Sep 08 - Part 1
The United Nations General Assembly has convened in New York amid a global financial crisis, rising oil prices and loud protests. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran, is due to address the General Assembly on Tuesday. His second visit to the UN has been marred in protests with thousands of demonstrators protesting Iran's threats towards Israel and its human rights record. A massive pro-democracy rally is scheduled to take place during the president's address in which he is expected to criticise the US and its foreign policy as well as defend Iran's uranium enrichment programmes. On Riz Khan we take a look at the current state of US-Iran relations and what a change in the White House might mean for the way forward.

"Massive US Naval Armada Heads For Iran"
http://www.infowars.com/ Europe Business Blog August 8, 2008 http://www.infowars.com/?p=3849 Operation Brimstone ended only one week ago. This was the joint US/UK/French naval war games in the Atlantic Ocean preparing for a naval blockade of Iran and the likely resulting war in the Persian Gulf area. The massive war games included a US Navy supercarrier battle group, an US Navy expeditionary carrier battle group, a Royal Navy carrier battle group, a French nuclear hunter-killer submarine plus a large number of US Navy cruisers, destroyers and frigates playing the "enemy force". The lead American ship in these war games, the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN71) and its Carrier Strike Group Two (CCSG-2) are now headed towards Iran along with the USS Ronald Reagon (CVN76) and its Carrier Strike...

Coming Iran War and U.S. Economic Collapse Part 1:
It's looking more and more like the Iran War (that goes badly/wrong and leaves a mess for generations) will not come later than we first thought - perhaps not until August-September. That, in turn (when it goes badly) would argue for an October 7th something impacting markets which would lead to the massive declines to follow. Oil embargo, dollar collapse, something like that yet undefined. The BIG/HUGE 'release period' which begins this fall will last until as late as July of 2010 Which would make it a very long, very ugly period of history indeed. On the other hand, we have the spring and early summer to all get our houses in order so we can help people who are not as 'future-directed' get ready for such events.
