IAP 2009

Over the past year or two, on a fairly regular basis, Iranian threats to disrupt oil flows out of the Persian Gulf have bumped up the price of oil. In fact, threatening to "close the Strait of Hormuz" is now a key part of Iran's foreign and military policy. It is their routine response to American attempts to stop their nuclear program, and every time Israeli politicians discuss Iran, Iranian leaders talk about their ability to cut off the world's oil. Iranian actions--including well publicized military exercises, weapons tests, and incidents in the Strait with the U.S. Navy--seem to back up their saber rattling, putting the world and especially the oil market on hair-trigger alert. Before we give the Iranians too much credibility (hence too much power to influence world events), we should ask, "Could Iran pull it off? How much could they succeed?" SSP Research Affiliate Eugene Gholz and a group of his graduate students at the University of Texas at Austin have created a web resource with information to help assess military threats to oil flows and their implications for the global oil market and for American national security policy. The site includes information on the strategic geography of the region, on how the oil market works, on how tankers and insurance firms have responded to military attacks in the past, on how the various weapons that might be used against tankers work and on how effective they might be in stopping a tanker's transit, along with other relevant topics.
On March 25, 2008, in a ceremony at Major General Robert Durbin's home at Fort Riley, Kansas, where he commands the First Infantry Division, SSP Director Barry Posen was recognized as a "Noble Patron of Armor," a new award of the U.S. Armor Association. The Noble Patron of Armor Award is presented to recognize those individuals who have significantly contributed to the operational success, or the morale and welfare, of armor and cavalry organizations. MG General Durbin was an SSP Military Fellow, May 1995-May 1996.

SSP is pleased to announce the publication of "African Adventure? Assessing the European Union's Military Intervention in Chad and the Central African Republic," by Bjoern H. Seibert, MALD candidate at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, in our working paper series. Mr. Seibert started this paper in the SSP course 17.482 - U.S. Military Power, taught by Professor Posen. Since the end of the Cold War many papers from this course have been written on operational and tactical military problems related to humanitarian intervention and stability operations. Some have been published as articles or books. Mr. Seibert's paper makes an important and timely contribution to public understanding of the demands of military operations to address security problems arising from the tragic situations in Darfur and Chad.
