Times Fallon falls: Iran should worry
Fallon's resignation as the United States' top commander in the Middle East
removes one of the most outspoken opponents of the George W Bush
administration's hard line on Iran. Defense Secretary Robert Gates
immediately dismissed as "ridiculous" suggestions that Fallon's
departure signaled that the US planned to go to war with Iran, but certainly
now "all options" are back on the table. - Gareth Porter

to fundamentals Iran’s elections may be a contest between two
conservative groups but voters could still deliver a rebuke to the president As Parliamentary elections approach in Iran,

or the "big bang", its iron-fist intervention in Gaza was neither
to send a message to the Israeli public nor to "commit genocide".
Rather, Israel's plans are regional, with Gaza being a testing ground. - Ramzy
