Iran and US edge toward confrontation
At a strategic level, the details of the alleged plot by Mansour Arabsiar to assassinate the Saudi envoy in the United States are largely irrelevant. What is important is that both Washington and Tehran have decided to raise the stakes dramatically, taking a significant step toward direct confrontation. Absent transparent de-escalatory measures, it would take only one or two further incidents of this kind to spark military confrontation in the Persian Gulf. - Mahan Abedin (Oct 13, '11)
