Defense Secretary Robert Gates sent a secret memo to the White House. The memo suggests that the US does not have a strong enough policy for Iran’s potentially bourgeoning nuclear program. The memo includes strategy if diplomacy with Iran fails to prevent a nuclear program. While it is not clear exactly what actions the US would take if Iran does develop a nuclear program, but it is certain that “there [is] a line Iran would not be permitted to cross.” Gates stresses that it is crucial that the US be prepared for whatever situation may arise. The Administration is also concerned with containing the influence of Iran in Persian Gulf states, as well as countering its missiles
