F-15i Analysis: What Would an Air Attack on Iran Look Like? 30 Mar 2012 by Andrew Brookes
A ground invasion is impossible. But Israel lacks the long-range assets unilaterally to neutralise a dispersed Iranian nuclear capability, whereas a large US co-ordinated air campaign against Iranian nuclear weapon facilities is eminently feasible. Nevertheless the effectiveness and fallout from such a campaign remains in doubt. Iran Middle East and North Africa Israel Aerospace
Small Israel flag Analysis: How Israelis Differ on Dealing with Iran 30 Mar 2012 by Goor Tsalalyachin
With prospects of igniting a regional war, some leading lights in the Israeli security establishment suggest a more careful approach. Yet, Israel perceives Iran as a rational actor that is likely to change its course only if faced by clear threat of use of force and effective international pressure. Recent US leaks about possible Israeli operational planning only heighten Israeli concerns. Israel Middle East and North Africa Iran
Ahmedinejad Nuclear Analysis: Are We Able to Deter Iran? 29 Mar 2012 by Dr Jonathan Eyal
In pursuing a nuclear weapons capability, Iran is acting rationally and in accordance with its past actions and strategic interests. Nevertheless, this does not mean at a nuclear-armed, or nuclear-capable Iran can be deterred or contained, at least not with traditional deterrence policies. A nuclear Iran means a multi-polar Middle East. And that, in turn, means a multi-polar, or multi-tiered deterrence strategy, of a kind which the world has never experienced before, and one which may well fail to contain the Iranian challenge.

Obama and Israel Analysis: The Audience War: US Rhetoric and the Iranian Nuclear Programme 29 Mar 2012 by Andrea Berger
Obama's declaratory policy on Iran involves a fine balancing act that is designed for multiple audiences: a recalcitrant Iranian regime, a domestic population about to go to the polls, and a jittery Middle Eastern region led by Israel. Though this strategy has thus far been successful, it carries notable risks for the Administration in the midst of a continuing standoff with Iran.

wavyiranianflagbanner Analysis: The Audience War: The Challenges of Iran's Nuclear Rhetoric 29 Mar 2012
Ever since its inception in 1979, the Iranian regime has deployed opaque yet highly charged rhetoric against enemies and to garner support at home and abroad. That policy is becoming unstuck in the case of the nuclear programme, where fewer people are convinced of the civilian nature of Iran's nuclear ambitions altogether. Iran Middle East and North Africa
Brazil Soldier Analysis: The Remilitarisation of Latin American Streets 29 Mar 2012 by Elizabeth Deheza
The military was once a central pillar of authoritarian dictatorships in Latin America. Now, democratic governments are relying on them to restore law and order, bypassing failing police forces. This is a high-risk strategy, policymakers need to ensure that civilian control of militaries remain paramount. Americas Brazil Central and South America Latin America
