The United States could unleash vastly superior firepower if it attacked Iran but Tehran could strike back against its forces in Iraq and threaten oil supplies crucial to the world economy. Speculation is growing that President George Bush could launch military action before he leaves office in January 2009 even though Washington says it is committed to resolving the crisis.
An Iranian minister said he believed the United States had dropped the idea of attacking Iran but wanted to topple its leadership through what he called a ”soft revolution”. Intelligence Minister Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei, a cleric, said Iran’s enemies had waged ”psychological warfare” to prepare for military action against the Islamic Republic.
