US and European allies provoke confrontation with Iran
By Peter Symonds
11 August 2005
[....]
The Bush administration has already waged an illegal war of aggression to subjugate Iraq as part of its ambitions to secure untrammelled hegemony in the resource-rich region. Iran, as well as having huge oil and gas reserves of its own, stands at the strategic crossroads between the Middle East and Central Asia.
The fact that the US military is bogged down in a quagmire in Iraq and is reliant on a police military regime headed by Shiite parties with longstanding ties to Tehran offers no protection to Iran. Tehran’s attempts to ingratiate itself with Washington by giving tacit support for the US invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan have only been met with US denunciations and threats. Washington’s aim is not closer collaboration with the current government in Iran but a new pro-American regime that will carry out US dictates.

There is also the rather important matter of the upcoming Iranian oil bourse, which is scheduled to commence trading in 2006, and its intended "petroeuro" system for oil trade. Obviously, such a development can only be viewed as a serious threat to the current hegemony of the petrodollar, i.e., US national security.
With every respect to you Fintan, I think you ought to stop sawing through the branch that you are sitting on for a moment and reexamine the position you have taken with respect to Iran. The fact that the regime in Tehran is providing material and political assistance to the Iraq occupation, does not in and of itself preclude the possibility that the US will make an attempt to overthrow it.
