the End Game

The Persian Conundrum is a tertiary puzzle. We will end up with Iran minus a nuclear program; or Iran with a nuclear program; or Iran under new management. We are insisting on the first option, which is least likely and will only happen voluntarily in...

Iran Calls Our Bluff

I’ve discussed Iran’s nuclear weapons program in these pages before, but an incident occurred early Friday that has been under-reported. A small unit of special operators entered southern Iraq and occupied an oil well in an area that Iran...
