WikiLeaks' Impact on U.S. Efforts Against Iran's Nuclear Program

The latest documents released by WikiLeaks included numerous U.S. State Department cables illustrating the extent to which Gulf Arab leaders would support U.S. military action against Iran. This will enhance credibility problems these Arab governments have with their respective populations. The cables also call into question U.S. and Israeli confidence as to how long they have before a conventional strike would no longer suffice to cripple Iran's nuclear program, and how much time Washington has left to pose a meaningful military threat against Iran without Tehran calling its bluff.
