Strengthening US ‘Defense’ In Gulf A Step To War

An article in the New York Times by David E. Sanger and Eric Schmitt states: “The Obama administration is accelerating the deployment of new defenses against possible Iranian missile attacks in the Persian Gulf.” It continues that this move “appears to be part of a coordinated administration strategy to increase pressure on Iran.” Since there is about a zero chance that Iran would dare to launch a first strike on the US or its Arab allies, the US would only need to strengthen its missile defenses in order to deal with an Iranian counterattack after the US had first bombed Iran. This is a very dangerous development. It will likely cause Iran, in expectation of a possible attack, to increase its defenses. The US will then claim that Iran is threatening its neighbors and increase its military force even more. The mutual increases in military forces will mean a spiraling arms race.
