Article Abstract:

The US and Iran are heading towards an inevitable confrontation, and without a huge European diplomatic effort to defuse the situation and prevent a collision, an apocalyptic crash appears imminent. The choice for the US in the wake of the 2006 Israel-Lebanon war lies between capitulation with the help of Syria or a military escalation or attack on Iran, and both options could have serious consequences.
