Conjectures aside, what we are actually seeing in the Gulf is this: Iran ignored Wednesday's Security Council deadline to quit its enrichment activity, but then Iran has never indicated willingness to co-operate. We're seeing the naval presence of the U.S.A. in the Gulf intensifying, numerous arrests of Iranian officials in Iraq and increased fingerpointing towards Iranians as agents in the Iraqi insurgency. Iran is also circumventing targeted sanctions by simply renaming those companies "complicit" in uranium enrichment. These points aside, the nuclear issue will once again provide the premise for possible -- some will say inevitable -- war (as WMD's were in the case of Iraq).
