Will the Bush administration use the US's military power to cripple Iran's nuclear programme? Though the new economic sanctions will not cause the Iranians to stop building their nuclear programme, will they deflect the Americans from military action, as the Europeans hope? It is plausible that Washington would endorse Israeli air strikes against Iranian nuclear plants? Does Israel possess the right ordnance to do the job?

The Iranian defiance of US hegemony in the Middle East will continue as will Iran aspiration to become a regional superpower.

Ken has a piece on this over at Road to Surfdom, in the context of American politics. It's rather alarming.
I'd also like to know where Australia stands on the issue.
