The Bush administration appears to be increasing pressure on Iran. The United States Coast Guard has been ordered to board ships from Iranian ports.
This is being reported in The New York Sun today:
The designation of Iran on the Coast Guard’s terrorism list is likely to punish any major shipping lines that still include Iran on their trade routes to America. Coast Guardsmen will seek to verify that the ships that have berthed in Iran had a security plan and arranged for armed men to guard the ship around the clock while at port.
Vessels that visited Iran during their last five port calls “will be boarded at sea by the Coast Guard to ensure the vessel took the required actions,” a Coast Guard Port Security Advisory says.
Perhaps President Bush is finally waking up after Iran rejected his latest “generous offer.”
