The Arab media has raised US-Iran confrontation alarms, saying the US
has a proxy war with Iran going at the tail end of the Bush
administration.
The UAE-based newspaper, Gulf News, in its Friday's editorial said
that with George W. Bush in office the Washngton is effectively
maintaining low intensity warfare with Iran and the potential exists
to ratchet it up to more open hostilities.
The source asserted that the recurring visits by the US Vice President
Dick Cheney and John McCain to Iraq and occupied Palestine are surely
not 'coincidences' but a means to ensure Israel remains fully in the
picture for any "plans the US could have against Iran".
The paper referred to Bush's remarks about Iran's ambitions for
nuclear weapons as blatant lies and a resounding excuse for fresh
adventurism in the region, bearing in mind the ongoing occupations in
Iraq and Afghanistan as cases in point.
Meanwhile, Al-Ahram Weekly described Admiral William Fallon's recent
resignation as an orchestrated move to remove what it called the only
obstacle "standing between the administration and their newest war
plan".
The weekly also added the disaster the Bush administration has created
in Iraq is clearly not going well. As a result, the administration may
feel that engaging the US militarily in Iran is their only option to
for seeing a Republican president elected and a staunch military
advocate like John McCain fits that bill.
On Wednesday, an aide to Cheney said that, the United States will need
the cooperation of Oman, Saudi Arabia, Israel and Turkey to mount a
military attack on Iran.
Meanwhile Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah, in a meeting with Cheney on
Friday, expressed his opposition to any US military action against
Iran, saying that negotiation is the best and the only effective way
to resolve Tehran's nuclear standoff.
The National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) and the International Atomic
Energy Agency (IAEA), in their latest reports have reassured the world
that the nature of Iran's nuclear activities is peaceful.

A senior aide to the US Vice President has reportedly said a military
option against Iran over its nuclear program is on the table again.
Vice President Dick Cheney is again talking about possible US military
action to shut down Iran's nuclear program, the Israeli website DEBKA
quoted the aide as saying.
The official added Cheney had told US troops in a military base in
Iraq that "Iran has got to be very high on that list (of the countries
that might be attacked)".
The remarks came ahead of the talks Cheney was to hold during his 10-
day tour of the Middle East, which began Monday, March 17 in Iraq.
The report added that Cheney is again talking about possible US
military action to shut down Iran's nuclear program, citing military
and political sources in the region.
Cheney stopped over in Oman Wednesday, after two days in Iraq. He will
travel to Saudi Arabia and will be in al-Quds next Saturday. He is
also scheduled to visit Ramallah and Turkey.
According to the report, Cheney would emphasize the Bush
administration's decision to distance itself from the National
Intelligence Estimate indicating that "Iran has halted its nuclear
arms program in 2003."
The report has undermined the position of hawkish politicians who were
beating the drums of war with Iran.
Cheney will also underlines that "the administration now buys British,
German, French and Israeli intelligence estimates that Iran is indeed
pressing forward with programs for building nuclear weapons, warheads
and ballistic missiles for their delivery."
The report added the Americans will need the cooperation of Oman,
Saudi Arabia, Israel and Turkey to mount a military attacks on Iran.
Israel was notified by the White House that the Iranian issue had been
added to Cheney's regional agenda at the last minute, DEBKA quoted
informed sources as saying.
