Iran : Key to Middle-East Stability
The recent build up of US navy in the middle-east is a cause of concern, as it contradicts their approach to a peace progress solely through diplomatic dialogue between the two countries. The build up have been attributed by the US as a boost up in security for the stability of the region; which we should severely doubt. It is a pity that US fails to see a potential alliance with Iran, which is the final Islamic political and military power in the ME which can be a key to solve the ME peace crisis. The sincerity of the US stance on the region has become questionable. What are they doing in Afghanistan now, when 50% of it is being re-taken by Taliban and Al-Qaeda? Iran have already voiced this concern.Why did US support Israel's attack on Lebanon without any complications? While US is following old instincts and unwilling to learn, another cold war seems to have already begun between the US and Russia. As the US sees Israel as a fitting Ally in the ME region, the Russians are busy helping Iran build its nuclear plant and providing nuclear fuel to feed Iran's power plants. The sight is ofcourse disturbing for the US. Unable to see Russia right in the eye, US tries to find a culprit in Iran-"an axis of evil" as Mr Bush states. It is the same Iran that helped US to destroy Taliban and Al-Qaeda. US is speculative of Iran's intentions even though IAEA officials find nothing to suspect. Iran lacks enough centrifuges to build a nuclear bomb. Iran also vows to limit uranium refining to 4-8% for making nuclear fuel for its power plants, much below the 80% threshold for building a bomb. The US aggression is only making it reasonable for the Iranians to have a bomb. The US like the Russians have helped eastern European countries of Poland and Czech Republic to have missile defense systems, much to Russia's dismay. Finally it seems, there is nothing to do with the bomb; just small countries caught in the cross-fire between the big guns. Lastly, Iran remains the last hope for ME stability and not US.
