The rescue of Iranian sailors from the Somali pirates by U.S navy in previous days was a welcoming note from Washington in the midst of strenuous situation that was developing between Tehran on one side and the U.S, Israel and their allies on the other.

However, in today’s world every day is a new eventful day entirely different from the circumstances and postures of the previous day. That is what can be assumed for the highly wrangling Iran’s nuclear program. Yet another high profile figure from Tehran’s nuclear program has been lay apart in the shape of a cunningly crafted assassination.

Previously, it was the threatening stuxnet virus aimed at jeopardizing and sabotaging Khomeini’s centrifugal plants that presumably wreaked havoc in the facilities. Then lately, it was the highly suspicious stealth CIA drone that crashed in Iran more than 140 miles from its border with Afghanistan. It was a bat-winged RQ170 Sentinel, built by Lockheed Martin, which was first seen on an airfield in Kandahar in Afghanistan. It was apparently the same drone which was used for surveillance in the operation against Osama bin Laden last May.

It seems that Obama’s administration is covertly following the same path of unilateralism and supreme might on all fronts which were an emblem of

Bush’s administration. However, there lies slight difference the current regime in the Washington is following a proposed scheme of ‘silence’. Failure to close the malevolent Guantanamo prison, unyielding behavior aligned with odd notions on Iran’s nuclear plan, the perpetual flow of drone attacks in Pakistani border regions and falling short of fulfilling the vows made during the much-acclaimed speech at Al Azhar in Cairo on June 4, 2009, only strengthens aforesaid proposition. He said in that speech, `I have come here to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world’. More than two and a half years have passed but there are no signs of a new beginning much to the disappointment of the populace of the concerned nations.

The bat-winged RQ170 Sentinel drone as quoted by Washington’s officials was on a reconnaissance mission in Afghanistan border region, when it lost its way and entered into Tehran’s jurisdiction. Such a sophisticated radar escaping technology used for gathering information in the land of Taliban with hardly any radar installed over the width and breadth of horizon is bemusing for many skeptics.

According to many analysts all these events are the covert tactics of CIA and Mussad both in collaboration to sabotage Iran’s nuclear ambitions as initial attempts so as to avoid direct military confrontation with Iran.

Roger Cohen a columnist from New York Times shared the same thoughts recently in his column for NYT. He wrote: `The Obama administration has a doctrine. It`s called the doctrine of silence. A radical shift from president Bush`s war on terror, it has never been set out to the American people. There has seldom been so big a change in approach to US strategic policy with so little explanation. I approve of the shift even as it makes me uneasy’.

‘One day, I suspect, there may be payback for this policy and this silence. President Obama has gone undercover’.

Cohen referred to the blast which killed Gen Moghaddam, bided by many as the ‘architect’ of the country nuclear missiles program in last year November and added: `Nuclear scientists have perished in the streets of Tehran. The Stuxnet computer worm has wreaked havoc within the Iranian nuclear facilities. It would take tremendous naiveté to believe these events are not the result of a covert American-Israeli drive to sabotage Iran`s efforts to develop a military nuclear capacity’.

Albeit this, Iran has signed a defense agreement with the Afghan government and they are in consonance with the Taliban and Afghan government’s stance on a peaceful withdrawal of the U.S troops till 2014 which clearly shows that if Washington is yearning for peaceful talks and resolution with the Taliban, they must take on board all the stakeholders involved in the region specially the regional powers encompassing Pakistan and Iran. One can only keep the fingers crossed that the U.S does not jump into another war monotonous with the recent failures.
