White House warns news channels that Iran will move up the agenda

“At a not-for-quotation pre-speech briefing on January 10, George W. Bush and his top national security aides unnerved
network anchors and other senior news executives with suggestions that a major confrontation with Iran is looming.
Commenting about the briefing on MSNBC after Bush’s nationwide address, NBC’s Washington Bureau Chief Tim Russert
said “there’s a strong sense in the upper echelons of the White House that Iran is going to surface relatively quickly as a major issue – in the country and the world – in a very acute way.” Russert and NBC Anchor Brian Williams depicted this White House emphasis on Iran as the biggest surprise from the briefing as Bush stepped into the meeting to speak
passionately about why he is determined to prevail in the Middle East. httC:AARRRKconsortiumneRsKcomA,--.A-&&&-.Khtml
Investment implications: Geopolitical tension will likely rise in February/March, impacting on risk
appetite and asset prices across the board.
