Iran put on a clear show of force today, testing missiles capable of striking across the Middle East, including the Persian Gulf and Israel. While Iran's tests revealed no new capabilities, they did demonstrate Tehran's continued interest in regional hegemony and prompted a strong response from Senator Obama.
He called for "aggressive diplomacy" that combines direct diplomatic ties between the US and Iran and closely tying economic incentives to diplomatic gains. Avoiding the Bush Administration's failure on Iran, he says, will involve removing Europeans as intermediaries between the US and Iran and developing a coherent economic sanction regime based on the common interests of states involved in the region.
