>The shift follows an internal review involving the White House, the
>Pentagon and the state department over the last month. Although the Bush

>The White House claims that Iran, whose influence in the Middle East has
>increased significantly over the last six years, is intent on building a
>nuclear weapon and is arming insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan.
>
>The vice-president, Dick Cheney, has long favoured upping the threat of
>military action against Iran. He is being resisted by the secretary of
>state, Condoleezza Rice, and the defence secretary, Robert Gates.
>
>Last year Mr Bush came down in favour of Ms Rice, who along with Britain,
>France and Germany has been putting a diplomatic squeeze on Iran. But at a
>meeting of the White House, Pentagon and state department last month, Mr
>Cheney expressed frustration at the lack of progress and Mr Bush sided
>with him. "The balance has tilted. There is cause for concern," the source
>said this week.
>
>Nick Burns, the undersecretary of state responsible for Iran and a career
>diplomat who is one of the main advocates of negotiation, told the meeting
>it was likely that diplomatic manoeuvring would still be continuing in
>January 2009. That assessment went down badly with Mr Cheney and Mr Bush.
>
>"Cheney has limited capital left, but if he wanted to use all his capital
>on this one issue, he could still have an impact," said Patrick Cronin,
>the director of studies at the International Institute for Strategic
>Studies.
>
>The Washington source said Mr Bush and Mr Cheney did not trust any
>potential successors in the White House, Republican or Democratic, to deal
>with Iran decisively. They are also reluctant for Israel to carry out any
>strikes because the US would get the blame in the region anyway.
>
>"The red line is not in Iran. The red line is in Israel. If Israel is
>adamant it will attack, the US will have to take decisive action," Mr
>Cronin said. "The choices are: tell Israel no, let Israel do the job, or
>do the job yourself."
>
>Almost half of the US's 277 warships are stationed close to Iran,
>including two aircraft carrier groups. The aircraft carrier USS Enterprise
>left Virginia last week for the Gulf. A Pentagon spokesman said it was to
>replace the USS Nimitz and there would be no overlap that would mean three
>carriers in Gulf at the same time.
>
>No decision on military action is expected until next year. In the
>meantime, the state department will continue to pursue the diplomatic
>route.
>
>Sporadic talks are under way between the EU foreign policy chief, Javier
>Solana, and Iran's top nuclear negotiator, Ali Larijani, on the
>possibility of a freeze in Iran's uranium enrichment programme. Tehran has
>so far refused to contemplate a freeze, but has provisionally agreed to
>another round of talks at the end of the month.
>
>The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Mohamed ElBaradei, has
>said that there are signs of Iran slowing down work on the enrichment
>plant it is building in Natanz. Negotiations took place in Tehran last
>week between Iranian officials and the IAEA, which is seeking a full
>accounting of Iran's nuclear activities before Tehran disclosed its
>enrichment programme in 2003. The agency's deputy director general, Olli
>Heinonen, said two days of talks had produced "good results" and would
>continue.
>
>At the UN, the US, Britain and France are trying to secure agreement from
>other security council members for a new round of sanctions against Iran.
>The US is pushing for economic sanctions that would include a freeze on
>the international dealings of another Iranian bank and a mega-engineering
>firm owned by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Russia and China are
>resisting tougher measures.
