"Who's Really Afraid of Iran?"

The Weekly Standard has an interesting piece on Iran's threat -- not just to Israel and the West, but to its neighbors in the Gulf.  FDD's Tony Badran is quoted on how Syria fits into the equation:

Pressure on Syria would be a logical move to counter Iran. Damascus, says Tony Badran, research fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, is not only "Iran's central client-proxy, but has also played the mediator between [Iran] and the Gulf states."

Tony has much more on this topic at his blog, Across the Bay.
