But, based upon history, precedent, and personalities, the intent of the United States regarding Iran is crystal clear: the Bush administration intends to bomb Iran.Whether this attack takes place in June 2005, when the Pentagon has been instructed to be ready, or at a later date, once all other preparations have been made, is really the only question that remains to be answered.
Wir sehen hier einen unerwarteten Seiteneffekt der Irakeroberung: Die Drohung mit einem militärischen Angriff ist deutlich glaubwürdiger. Israel habe bereits einen Angriffsplan, würde aber lieber die USA zusammen mit den Europäern eingreifen sehen um Verwerfungen in der Region zu vermeiden, so Ritter. Interessanterweise behauptet er aber eine Meinungsverschiedenheit über die EU, während die Vereinigten Staatendespite recent warm remarks by President Bush and Condi Rice, the US does not fully embrace the EU's Iran diplomacy, viewing it as a programme 'doomed to fail'.
sei die israelische Diplomatie aufgeschlossener.
'The way to stop Iran', a senior Israeli official has said, 'is by the leadership of the US, supported by European countries and taking this issue to the UN, and using the diplomatic channel with sanctions as a tool and a very deep inspection regime and full transparency.'
It seems that Tel Aviv and Washington, DC aren't too far removed on their Iranian policy objectives, except that there is always the unspoken 'twist': what if the United States does not fully support European diplomatic initiatives, has no interest in letting IAEA inspections work, and envisions UN sanctions as a permanent means of containment until regime change is accomplished in Tehran, as opposed to a tool designed to compel Iran to cooperate on eliminating its nuclear programme?
