U.S. policy toward Iran and Iraq : hearings before the Subcommittee on Near Eastern and South Asian Affairs of the Committee on Foreign Relations, United States Senate, One Hundred Fourth Congress, first session, March 2 and August 3, 1995 1995 .txt text/plain 78436 4683 64 If one regards a major threat to American interests in this area of the world to be Iran and Iraq, and believes I look forwardſ to receiving this Committee's views on the our current policies toward Iraq and Iran and in responding to any questions the members may have. Before addressing the military aspects of this strategy, I would first emphasize that our policy of containing both Iraq and Iran, sometimes referred to as "dual containment," does not mean that we try to deal with Containment implies laying down clear markers, standing vigilant while avoiding military confrontation, and hoping that internal problems will eventually cause the regimes in Iran and Iraq to fall—a reasonable expectation.
