Iran Reviews > Israel Matzav: Persian Gulf Arabs look to a new protector: Israel

[Israel Matzav] Among Iran’s Persian Gulf neighbors there is growing resignation that Iran cannot be stopped from developing nuclear arms, though Iran says its nuclear program is for peaceful uses. Some analysts have predicted that a regional arms race will begin and that vulnerable states, like Bahrain, may be encouraged to invite nuclear powers to place weapons on their territories as a deterrent.

This week, Iran’s well-publicized barrage of short- and medium-range missiles was designed to demonstrate the harm Iran could inflict on its own.

Even in the absence of a tough UN-authorised sanctions regime, the United States and the EU now seem prepared to impose stringent sanctions unilaterally (targeting not only the gasoline imports themselves but the network of banks, insurers and shippers facilitating them).
