Time
Magazine published an article on February 9th,
2012 titled Four
Ways the U.S. Could End Up at War with Iran Before the Election*.
It talks about worries on how Iran is trying to make nuclear weapons
through their nuclear programs and how the U.S. could end up in a war
with Iran before the 2012 elections.
Jay
Newton from Time Magazine states how Iran may be looking for a war to
cover “the
country’s deep internal political fractures and distract from
widespread popular disaffection”.
Not to mention Israel is ready to wage war because they are convinced
that Iran is intent on acquiring a nuclear bomb as soon as possible.
The only thing stopping the U.S. from taking further action is the
fact that Iran is still allowing inspectors into their nuclear sites.
If Iran decided to deny inspectors right of way or close the Strait
of Hormuz in turn shutting down oil flow and provoking
international condemnation, it would then pull the U.S. in taking
action.
This
article shows how tensions have been rising in the Middle East and
what to look for in the near future. This situation would not only affect
oil prices around the world but we would also be looking at another
world war if Iran or Israel were to take action. As it states in the
title of the article, we may see this unfold be the end of the year.
