Seeing the enduring problems in Iran there are as many difficulties as opportunities in hand. There is no point to strike an end to the mounting blunders from both the US and Iran.

However, US is ready to face the next big test after Iraq - Iran. The Islamic regime in Iran has already broken the international seals on its nuclear facilities, and prepares to hone its skills in the uranium enrichment that could, in a matter of years, enable it to produce nuclear weapons.

It was much anticipated that those think tanks in Europe and the United States had to respond. But how? By simply abducting Iranian officials.

But was it a good move? The motive was quite clear to knock the Iranian military off balance, however, the consequences such that Iran threatens to score even over suspected involvement of Western intelligence services in abducting senior officers of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

Mounting tensions between US and Iran - could it trigger war?

If mishandled, this situation could lead not only to the edge of another military confrontation but also to another crisis of the west.

America’s invasion of Iraq, primarily oil the motive behind suspicions of Weapons of Mass Destruction - citing the Iranian involvement with the Iraq military and its own nuclear armament, it has developed into the next target for US on similar grounds.

US building up military in the Persian Gulf and evacuating Iranian officials in Iraq (out in pursuit of Shia reunion), provoke promising moves against Iran, this gaffe of abduction and counter abduction proclamation could break the shackles and explode into a war, another that America cannot afford both politically and economically.

The UN Security Council’s five major powers and Germany have mutually agreed to ban all Iranian arms exports and freeze the financial assets of 28 Iranian officials and institutions, including several commanders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. This verdict targets people and institutions not directly linked with the nuclear program - is it then in quest to hinder the strategic development of the Arabic nation?

The winds of fortune in the Iranian nuclear disagreement do not seem to have shifted, but in Washington’s apparent quest to get an upper hand, misreading the causes of the counterattack from Iran may cause the U.S. to lose rather than gain force.
