Ahmadinejad Calls Bush's Nuclear Bluff

2008-07-26T08:32:55Z

President Bush is on a "farewell tour" to Europe. When asked about Iran, he says that "all options are on the table." What does he mean? And why is Ahmadinejad not concerned?

McCain Keeps Getting the Facts Wrong on Iran

2008-07-09T13:33:44Z

John McCain's making our job all too easy... Not only has The Real McCain 2 drawn an astounding 800,000 views in 48 hours, but McCain has already started giving us fodder for another sequel. From HuffPo:

Time's Joe Klein confronted McCain with this question at a press conference yesterday. For a foreign policy "expert," McCain clearly has a pattern of getting the basic facts wrong. McCain insisted that ultimate political authority in Iran rests with Ahmadinejad -- even mocking Klein when he challenged him on it. In fact, according to the CIA's World Factbook, ultimate political authority in Iran rests with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, not the president.

Persepolis propaganda - Alcohol ban in Iran

2008-07-26T08:22:03Z

Iran demonization propaganda. De la France, avec amour.

I dont know if you have noticed the massive and incredibly positive media coverage of this movie. It was featured 3 different times in 2 months in my local newspaper (the same newspaper that is).

But how coherent 'Persepolis' really is? Veiled facts, misconceptions, racism, and arbitrarity abound in a self-proclaimed autobiography that is given the character of factual, or of a 'sincere' intimate approach at the situation of a nation.

How much of a coincidence is it that a demonization movie like 'Persepolis' is being showcased globally and given full media coverage, at the most key times of the West-Iran tensions, when it was awarded in Cannes over a year ago?

US top Middle East commander, Admiral William Fallon had been repeatedly stating - along with up to 4 other US Generals - that he would resign if the Bush administration would go for a strike against Iran.

Well, Fallon has just resigned...

Fallon is a good patriot and cares for the success of his nation, no matter how against the Iran war he is: Would have he resigned after an attack wouldave ensued? Resigning before the strike starts is the action a smart commander would go for.

So here it is.

Inside Iraq - The Landmark Visit to Iraq - 07March08 - Pt.2

2008-06-07T21:29:33Z

The visit of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran's president, to Iraq is seen as a new chapter in relations between the two countries.

The historic trip, the first by an Iranian leader since the Iran-Iraq war, sparked heated protests and outraged many Sunni Arabs.

Some political observers think this underscored how a growing Iranian influence in Iraq could aggravate the existing mistrust and further sour relations between Shia and Sunnis.

However, Iraqi political leaders appear determined to move closer to Tehran, despite American accusations that Iran finances and supports militias inside Iraq.

How will this new level of closer political and economic relations between Iran and Iraq impact the political future of Baghdad and the wider region?

What are its implications on the already strained political power play between Sunni and Shia factions in Iraq?

How will the US react and will it change its security and military strategies in Iraq?

Our guests this week are:

Dr Sadeq Zibakalam from Teheran University, Rich Schmierer from the US State Department and Dr Abdallah Alshaaal, former Egyptian Assistant Foreign Minister.

UK and France table new sanctions despite IAEA report saying good progress with Iran

Sunday February 24th, 2008

After the report was circulated, Dr. ElBaradei made the following comments:

"Our task in Iran is to make sure that the Iranian nuclear programme is exclusively for peaceful purposes. We are at it for the last five years. In the last four months, in particular, we have made quite good progress in clarifying the outstanding issues that had to do with Iran´s past nuclear activities, with the exception of one issue, and that is the alleged weaponization studies that supposedly Iran has conducted in the past. We have managed to clarify all the remaining outstanding issues, including the most important issue, which is the scope and nature of Iran´s enrichment programme. We have made good progress, with still one issue on our agenda and I call on Iran to act as actively as possible, as fast as possible, for me to be able (to ensure) that all issues, that have to do with Iran´s past nuclear activities, have been clarified.

"In addition to our work, to clarify Iran´s past nuclear activities, we have to make sure, naturally, that Iran´s current activities are also exclusively for peace purposes and for that we have been asking Iran to conclude the so called Additional Protocol, which gives us the additional authority to visit places, additional authority to have additional documents, to be able to provide assurance, not only that Iran´s declared activities are for peaceful purposes but that there are no undeclared nuclear activities. On that score, Iran in the last few months has provided us with visits to many places, that enable us to have a clearer picture of Iran´s current programme. However, that is not, in my view, sufficient. We need Iran to implement the Additional Protocol. We need to have that authority as a matter of law. That, I think, is a key for us to start being able to build progress in providing assurance that Iran´s past and current programmes are exclusively for peaceful purposes. So we have the Protocol issue and we have the weaponization, alleged weaponization studies. I should however add that in connection with the weaponization studies, we have not seen any indication that these studies were linked to nuclear material. So that gives us some satisfaction but the issue is still critical for us to be able to come to a determination as to the nature of Iran´s nuclear programme.

"As a result of Iran running an undeclared nuclear programme for almost two decades, there has been confidence deficit on the part of the international community about the intentions, future intentions of Iran´s nuclear programme. Therefore the Security Council asked Iran to suspend its enrichment-related activities. I hope that Iran will continue to work closely with the Security Council, to create the conditions for Iran and the international community to engage in comprehensive negotiation that would lead to a durable solution. A durable solution requires confidence about Iran´s nuclear programme, it requires a regional security arrangement, it requires normal trade relationship between Iran and the international community. As the Security Council stated, the ultimate aim should be normalization of relationships between Iran and the international community. Definitely the Agency will continue to do as much as we can to make sure that we also contribute to the confidence-building process with regard to the past and present nuclear activities in Iran, but naturally, we can not provide assurance about future intentions. That is inherently a diplomatic process that needs the engagement of all the parties."
