Iran is making its move, right now!
GS Don Morris, Ph.D.

If you read this blog on a daily basis you will begin to see what Iran's political strategy is; engage, create, promote and manage political,social ,financial and military ties with Iran's neighbors or with those countries in its neighborhood.The USA's strategy up until today has been to try to isolate Iran within the international community. It not only is not working,it seems to be fueling Iran's escalating need for regional support. Additionally, it has not gone unnoticed that the nations Iran is currying favor with lie in the fly over patterns for any enemy planes.

Thus, Iran is creating a protective ring around itself and it is ensuring that any Western country will be unable, legally, to attack it from the air. Politically it is also developing and nurturing political currency that it will spend in the future. This is not unlike a scene from one of the"Godfather" movies: "I'm doing you a favor today and I will ask you sometime in the future to ..."

I am truly curious now, what is the West's policy toward Iran-darned if I know! I've heard the words and I notice a disconnect with our actions.
