According to a Polish daily, the United States will abandon plans to house an anti-missile shield in Poland and the Czech Republic, Washington TV reports.

The multi-billion dollar project, intended for defence against attacks from Iran and other rogue states, was to install 10 interceptor missiles in Poland and a radar base in the Czech Republic. It had met with fierce objections from Russia.

The Polish daily, Gazeta Wyborcza, said that Washington was now considering deploying anti-missile interceptors on naval vessels and at bases in Israel, Turkey and the Balkans.

In March of this year it was revealed that Obama “secretly” offered Moscow a grand bargain whereby it would sacrifice missile defence sites in Poland and the Czech Republic in exchange for Moscow’s help discouraging Iran’s nuclear program, according to the Heritage Foundation.

In his July summit with Moscow, Obama reinforced his message that missile defence remains a bargaining chip that can exchanged for his college dream of a nuclear free world.
