U.S. arms supplies to the Middle Eastern allies
The visit to the Middle East of the Secretary of Defense of the United States, Chuck Hagel, has clarified the next steps that will form the U.S. strategy against Iran. On the agenda is a massive supply, through the sale of sophisticated weaponry, to offer a cutting-edge equipment, first of all to Israel, but also to the countries of the Gulf, matrix Sunni, traditional opponents of Tehran and Washington allies . The amount of purchases of regional allies is around 7.66 billion Euros, which should serve to be ready for the Iranian response to a possible Israeli pre-emptive attack, that now has entered the reasoning Americans. The U.S., despite insist on a solution to the bomb Iran to search through diplomatic channels, have taken note of the will of Tehran not to give up to join the club of countries with nuclear weapons. Significantly, in the expense of Israel, amounting to 3,000 million euro, have been bought air tankers, which are essential to refuel aircraft in flight that could be used to target the sites where the Iranians build their nuclear bomb. Hagel's statements are founded on the recognition of Iran as a real threat, you should definitely not get to have the technology necessary for the development of the atomic bomb. It is a fairly significant change compared to the previous Obama administration, when between Tel Aviv and Washington relations had turned cold at the insistence of the Israeli government to eradicate the threat of a military option, opposed by the U.S.. On the previous caution Obama weighed probably in a decisive way the presidential election, where the then Democratic candidate could not show that the caution required by the majority of its electorate, and now confirmed with the mandate and without the possibility of re-election, U.S. President can practice a different policy, as evidenced by just the appointment of Hagel, a former Republican senator, as secretary of defense. The theorem enunciated by Hagel: "Every sovereign state has the right to defend and protect itself," expresses, therefore, clearly and cleanly through the U.S. position in favor of a preventive war by Israel and the complete support on the part of 'Obama administration. The program to strengthen the enemies of Tehran does not end with the delivery to Israel, even the Gulf countries, such as United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia itself bought missiles and military aircraft to strengthen its armed forces, so that Tel Aviv would protest with the U.S. because its air supremacy in the region would come into question. It becomes clearer the American project to create a sort of barrier before Israel can counter sharply in any action Iran. The last country that will touch Hagel will be the Jordan, that tactically can play a key role in a possible air strike against Iran, allowing its airspace.
