Implications on the Gulf States of Any American Military Operation against Iran
Abstract
On 31 July 2006, the United Nations Security Council passed resolution 1696 giving Iran exactly one month until 31 August to stop its uranium enrichment and reprocessing activities. Iran had responded to the imminent deadline with a flurry of statements and proposals that have a single common theme: a determination to continue with its nuclear program. There is a growing conviction of the United States and in the international community that the Bush Administration, while publicly advocating diplomacy in order to stop Iran from pursuing a nuclear weapon, has increased intelligence activities inside Iran and intensified planning for a possible military operation. This SRP discusses the implications for nations in the Gulf region of a military operation against Iran on the GCC country. It reviews external and internal security issues, along with economic and environmental problems that would occur once a military operation is conducted.
