London, Mar. 17 Not since the collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics has the United States national security strategy focused on a country more than it is now doing on Iran. The proof comes in a 49-page report just released by the White House.
The National Security Strategy of the United States of America describes Iran as the greatest challenge to the U.S. national security, and makes it clear that the Bush administration is prepared to resort to military action, if thats what it takes to stop Irans theocracy from arming itself with nuclear weapons.
We may face no greater challenge from a single country than from Iran, the report, which carried the seal of U.S. President George W. Bush, said.
The document, which maps out the threats to the United States and the way President Bush intends to tackle them, said that the international standoff over Tehrans suspected nuclear weapons program and its support for terrorism in the Middle East could ultimately be resolved only if the Iranian regime makes the strategic decision to change these policies, open up its political system, and afford freedom to its people. This is the ultimate goal of U.S. policy.
Our strategy is to block the threats posed by the regime while expanding our engagement and outreach to the people the regime is oppressing, Bush said.
