Managing A Moderating Gulf

Abstract

The 3,000-word essay discusses how the United States should respond if Iran, Iraq, or both countries moderate their foreign policies. It asks: what should the United States do if "dual containment" actually succeeds? The text first describes current U.S. policies toward the Persian Gulf region. It then analyzes how they should change to exploit favorable developments in Iran or Iraq.
