Threats and Treaties From Iran
Iran is more and more in the news. Now Iran is reaching out to other countries in the Middle East namely the United Arab Emerites in an effort to create a allied block with Syria, Iran, and Iraq. As Iran voices unusual demands and has questionable motives, this effort to create more allies is concerning information.
As the United Nations gets closer to at least saying they have sanctions agreed upon, Iran is stepping up their rhetoric about downgrading relations with the 25 member European Union. This may not sound like a big deal to us in the United States, but Iran supplies much of the oil and gas to the European Union that this is forbidding news and will drive up gas and oil prices and cause economic havoc in the European block.
I personally believe this is also the biggest reason why France, Russia, and others have been slow to move the sanctions process forward. The ramifications are just so great for their own economies.
Iran is the country to watch right now and I would recommend that if we do not take decisive action as a world community, at this juncture, that the situation will become only more difficult.
