Analysis: US and Iran appear on collision course

Posted by Matt in July 9th, 2008

The United States and Iran appear on a collision course in the Middle East, firing off mixed messages that are raising world tension and roiling oil markets amid fears that an eventual confrontation may be military.

Both insist war is not imminent, but their sharp words and provocative actions are stoking uncertainty as Washington and Tehran joust for strategic supremacy in the oil-rich region where American might — along with that of its top ally in the area, Israel — has long been dominant.

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.

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?

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/

These people are all upset and excited about Iran and are pushing hard for a confrontational stance." - Barbara Slavin Mainstream Media is Selling Another War http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwxzt4iPkNE

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.
