War Drums Beating Louder for U.S. Attack on Iran RealAudio Interview with Joseph Gerson, director of programs at the New England American Friends Service Committee, conducted by Scott Harris While Americans focused last week on the White House public relations offensive to prolong the Iraq war -- which featured congressional testimony from Gen. David Petraus and U.S. ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker followed by a nationally televised address by President Bush -- tensions are heating up with Iran. In a briefing at the National Press Club, Petraeus stated that arms exported from Iran, including 240mm rockets and explosively formed projectiles, "contributed to a sophistication of attacks that would by no means be possible without Iranian support." Pentagon officials maintain that some Iraqi Shia militia forces are being trained by the Iranian Republican Guard Corps Quds Force. U.S. officers have also alleged that an advanced Iranian-made missile had been fired at an American base inside Iraq. Meanwhile, the U.S. and some European nations are pushing for harsher sanctions against Iran for their failure to comply with a U.N. demand to halt their uranium enrichment program. Reacting to statements from the newly-elected government of French President Nicolas Sarkozy threatening war with Iran if it did not submit to the U.N., International Atomic Energy Agency Chief Mohamed Elbaradei urged Iran's critics to learn from the deadly miscalculations of the Iraq invasion. Elbaradei is currently negotiating with Iran to reveal past nuclear activities that could be linked to a weapons program. Tehran maintains their nuclear research is for peaceful purposes only. But many observers looking at the U.S. deployment of two aircraft carrier groups off Iran's coast, and press reports that the Pentagon has prepared contingency plans for a massive airstrike against Iran's nuclear research facilities are concerned that momentum toward conflict has reached a critical moment. Between The Lines' Scott Harris spoke with Joseph Gerson, director of programs at the American Friends Service Committee in New England about the rising tensions surrounding the the U.S. confrontation with Iran. Joseph Gerson is author of the book, "Empire and the Bomb: How the United States Uses Nuclear Weapons to Dominate the World."
