eCanadaNow » Gates Still Watching Iran.

Posted by Staff on Apr 19th, 2010 // No Comment

US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates recently sent a memo to the White House complaining that the administration does not have a solid long-term policy for dealing with Iran. He urged new plans, including possible military action, to forestall Iran having fully functional nuclear weapons in the near future. The administration downplayed the event saying they have always had contingency plans for dealing with Iran’s quest to obtain nuclear weapons. General James Jones, President Obama’s National Security advisor also said there are long-term plans in existence to deal with a nuclear Iran.

All this comes in the wake of Iran’s continued build up in research and the defying of international calls for it to abandon its nuclear weapons program. Iran has also recently taunted the U.S. by claiming the reason the U.S. does not attack Iran is because of its strength. It seems that if the taunting continues, the U.S. or its ally Israel will definitely make a preemptive attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities, if they can locate all of them.

This seems to be the only drawback in an attack on Iran. The dispersal of the nuclear sites and the placement of them too deep underground for an attack to have a fair rate of success.
