U.S. Says New Find Shows Iran Still Sends Arms to Iraq
Iran has it's own agenda and they do not care about the western countries or the U.N....
From The Wall Street Journal:
Technorati Tags: news, politics, iraq war, Iran supplying weapons
From The Wall Street Journal:
The U.S. military says it has found caches of newly made Iranian weapons in Iraq, leading senior officials to conclude Tehran is continuing to funnel armaments into Iraq despite its pledges to the contrary.show of hands, who thought Iran was going to be helpful to coalition forces in Iraq? Her's your sign...
Officials in Washington and Baghdad said the purported Iranian mortars, rockets and explosives had date stamps indicating they were manufactured in the past two months. The U.S. plans to publicize the weapons caches in coming days. A pair of senior commanders said a presentation was tentatively planned for Monday.
This month, Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Iranian support for Shiite extremist groups had grown. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said for the first time that he believed Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad knew about the shipments.Interesting? Let us continue...
Iran has long denied that its government knowingly funneled weapons into Iraq or trained Shiite militants there. It has derided the U.S. claims as propaganda. Several senior U.S. military officials said the weapons caches would undercut the Iranian denials and provide new evidence of continuing Iranian support for Shiite militants across Iraq.
"You can see the manufacturing dates right on the armaments themselves," one senior commander in Baghdad said. "These are very clearly weapons that were made in the last month or so."
Rear Adm. Gregory Smith, the top American military spokesman in Baghdad, said U.S. officials were "working on a briefing that we hope to be able to deliver in the next week or so." He said he would not be "disclosing the substance of the brief."
Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, focused his recent congressional testimony almost exclusively on Iran, which he said was playing a "destructive role" by funneling advanced weaponry to Shiite militants in Iraq.I rest my case.
Within the State Department, views about Iran have also been hardening. Ryan Crocker, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq, told reporters last year that there were signs Tehran was "using some influence to bring down violence from extremist Shia militias." Earlier this month, by contrast, he said Iran was playing a "highly dangerous" role in Iraq, and directly accused Tehran of providing the deadly rockets that slammed into the U.S. Embassy compound where he lives and works.
Mr. Crocker also said that recent talks between U.S., Iraqi and Iranian officials had made little progress and failed to persuade Iran to change its behavior in Iraq.

Iran Is Making a Greater Push Into Nicaragua
Hmm...
From FNC:
Technorati Tags: Iran in Nicaragua, hezbollah, world news
From FNC:
Iran is establishing a Central American foothold in Nicaragua, to the alarm of some U.S. state department officials, it is being reported.the danger exists obviously and the threat has been made by Iran of unleashing Hezbollah on the U.S., so this is troubling.
The San Antonio News-Express said Monday that Nicaragua, with the backing of its Venezuelan ally, has been forging a new partnership with Iran.
Part of that relationship comes in the form of a $350 million deep-water port at Monkey Point on Nicaragua's Atlantic coast that is to extend across the continent to the Pacific Ocean. Iran has also recently opened an embassy in Nicaraguan capital of Managua.
Click here to read the full San Antonio News-Express article.
Some state department officials are concerned that Iran's presence in Nicaragua would allow Tehran to stage strikes on American interests by deploying the terrorist group Hezbollah and Revolutionary Guard operatives already in Latin America, the Express reported.
Cargo-News Asia reported that the port, which is expected to provide connectivity to the ports in the East Coast of the United States and to Europe, could be a possible windfall for the poverty stricken country. The project is seen as an about-face for a country that has been reluctant to embrace foreign investment, it wrote.

From NYT:
Israel today took a darker view of Iran’s nuclear ambitions than the assessment released by United States intelligence agencies yesterday, saying it was convinced that Iran was pursuing nuclear weapons.
It said Iran had probably resumed the nuclear weapons program the American report said was stopped in the fall of 2003. “It is apparently true that in 2003 Iran stopped pursuing its military nuclear program for a certain period of time,” Defense Minister Ehud Barak told Israeli Army Radio. “But in our estimation, since then it is apparently continuing with its program to produce a nuclear weapon.” [snip...]
The International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna said the new assessment should now help ease the international confrontation with Iran and prompt it to cooperate fully with the United Nations nuclear watchdog. The agency had been criticized in the past by the Bush administration for not pressing Iran hard enough on its nuclear intentions.
“This new assessment by the U.S. should help to defuse the current crisis,” the atomic energy agency’s director general, Mohamed ElBaradei, said in a statement.
“At the same time, it should prompt Iran to work actively with the I.A.E.A. to clarify specific aspects of its past and present nuclear program as outlined in the work plan and through the implementation of the additional protocol.”
But the United States, Britain and France urged the international community to maintain pressure on Iran to stop its nuclear enrichment activities despite the new assessment.
“We think the report’s conclusions justify the actions already taken by the international community to both show the extent of and try to restrict Iran’s nuclear program and to increase pressure on the regime to stop its enrichment and reprocessing activities,” a spokesman for British Prime Minister Gordon Brown was quoted by Reuters as saying.
“It confirms we were right to be worried about Iran seeking to develop nuclear weapons and shows that the sanctions program and international pressure were having an effect,” he said.
France expressed a similar opinion. “It appears that Iran is not respecting its international obligations,” a French Foreign Ministry spokeswoman was quoted by Reuters as saying.
“We must keep up the pressure on Iran,” the spokeswoman said, adding that France will continue “to work on the introduction of restrictive measures in the framework of the United Nations.”
At a meeting with Iran’s top nuclear negotiator, Saeed Jalili, today in Moscow, President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia said Iran should ensure its nuclear activities were “open and transparent,” Bloomberg reported. Mr. Putin’s spokesman said Russia was offering to supply Iran fuel for the Russian-built nuclear power plant at Bushehr, in southern Iran, with the intention of persuading Iran to suspend uranium enrichment, Bloomberg reported.
“The sooner we ship it, the less they will have a need for their own program,” the spokesman, Dmitri Peskov, was quoted as saying.

"If anything the new national estimates validate the administration's strategy to bring diplomatic and economic pressure on the Iranian government's nuclear policy," Gates said during a visit to Afghanistan.From Voice of America:
A US National Intelligence Estimate released on Monday said that Iran halted its nuclear weapons drive in 2003.
Iran's president is calling for the creation of an international Islamic court to try war criminals and other human rights violators. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad raised the idea Tuesday during a speech to judiciary chiefs from Islamic countries at a conference in Tehran. He did not give any details about who might be tried under an international Islamic court or how it would operate. The international community already has two courts -- one to deal with criminals and another that handles disputes between states. Both are based in The Hague. In his speech, Mr. Ahmadinejad said that some international organizations such as the U.N. Security Council have not been founded on the basis of justice.From Financial Times:
The United Arab Emirates has impounded the cargo of a vessel bound for Iran after discovering that “hazardous materials” aboard contravened UN sanctions placed on the Islamic republic to curtail its nuclear development programme.From Islamic Republic News Agency:
In a further ratcheting up of the UAE’s determination to curb misuse of its ports, an official there confirmed that the cargo, detained for testing last month, contained materials banned by UN Security Council resolutions 1737 and 1747, while the purchaser of the materials had also been barred by the same resolutions.
Iran-Sweden-AhmadinejadOK, let's be clear, even IF Iran did not restart its nuclear bomb program, it can at anytime. as long as they continue to work on uranium enrichment they are working on the bomb. Why? Because we know they continue to work on long range missiles and when they have the nuclear material on hand they just have tyhe actual bomb to construct and stick it on a missile. that will take no time at all so they don't need the actual bomb making program running yet.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad here on Tuesday warned certain countries that if they do not change their behaviors, the Iranian nation will never hesitate to do so.
According to Presidential Office, President Ahmadinejad made the remark in a meeting with the new Swedish ambassador to Tehran Nagnus Vernstedt.
Certain countries still continue to exert pressure on Iran despite recent report by IAEA, he underlined.[snip...]
The US and its allies should admit Iran's peaceful nuclear rights, he said, adding that there is no alternative to this end.
Iran is independent and never needs these powers or countries, he underlined.
We have got to keep up the pressure on Iran and not ease up now. Either diplomacy stops Iran or there will be no other choice but the use of force and no one should want that to happen.

Ahmadinejad Announces Iran Uranium Enrichment Milestone
It is obvious to me that I ran will succeed in going Nuclear if we do not act...

From FNC:
BIRJAND, Iran (AP) — Iran has achieved a landmark, with 3,000 centrifuges fully working in its controversial uranium enrichment program, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced Wednesday.We have to decide if a nuclear Iran is something we can live with or not. If not we have to do more than talk to stop it. Remember, this is a country that said Israel would be wiped off the map, Israel can not withstand a nuclear strike, but Islamic countries can survive retaliation, holocaust is a myth, they wish to bring about the end times, Islamic flag will fly over every capital in the world, they will share nuclear technology with other muslim countries, and on and on it goes. So, think it is a good idea to say, don't worry about it?
"We have now reached 3,000 machines," Ahmadinejad told thousands of Iranians gathered in Birjand, in eastern Iran, in a show of defiance of international demands to halt the program believed to be masking the country's nuclear arms efforts.[snip...]
Uranium gas, spun in linked centrifuges, can result in either low-enriched fuel suitable to generate power in a nuclear reactor, or the weapons-grade material that forms the fissile core of nuclear warheads.[snip...]
U.S. experts say 3,000 centrifuges are in theory enough to produce a nuclear weapon, perhaps as soon as within a year.
Iran says it plans to expand its enrichment program to up to 54,000 centrifuges at Natanz in central Iran — which would amount to the level of industrial-scale uranium enrichment.[snip...]
He also said he had bluntly refused a recent offer to negotiate with the United States over Iran's nuclear activities.
"I, as your representative, told those who brought the message that we didn't ask for talks ... If talks are to be held, it is the Iranian nation that has to set conditions, not the arrogant and the criminals," Ahmadinejad said.
"The world must know that this nation will not give up one iota of its nuclear rights ... if they think they can get concessions from this nation, they are badly mistaken," he concluded.

Russia and Iran threatens...
I told you Russia is not our friend...
And the reason we are putting the defensive missile system in Europe has opened his mouth again...

President Vladimir Putin sent a chilling message to world leaders on the eve of the Group of Eight summit with a threat to aim Russian nuclear missiles at European cities for the first time since the Cold War.At Wednesday's meeting in Germany, the Russian leader said U.S. plans to erect a missile-defense shield in Eastern Europe had left him with no choice but to retaliate. No choice? It is a defensive system so this tells me Russia still has plans to bring back the USSR.
And the reason we are putting the defensive missile system in Europe has opened his mouth again...
In a defiant speech yesterday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said: "Even if all the world powers are slitting their own throats, the Iranian people are invincible and will remain invincible.We certainly live in interesting times...
"Iran is not trying to make aggression against other countries. It only wants that its right be accepted and will not accept the injustice of the great powers," he said.[snip]
Iran's hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Sunday said the world would witness the destruction of Israel soon, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported.
Ahmadinejad said last summer's war between Israel and Hezbollah showed for the first time that the "hegemony of the occupier regime [Israel] had collapsed, and the Lebanese nation pushed the button to begin counting the days until the destruction of the Zionist regime," IRNA quoted him as saying.
"God willing, in the near future we will witness the destruction of the corrupt occupier regime," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying during a speech to foreign guests who attended ceremonies marking the 18th anniversary of the death of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who is known as the father of Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution.

'Iran trying to recruit Israeli spies'
From The Jerusalem Post:
I would like to know if our government let's Iranian nationals into our country still. Heck, when I was in the Air Force, we were training Iranians on our military bases.
Iran has been making concerted efforts to recruit Jewish and Arab Israelis as spies against Israel, the Shin Bet (Israel Security Service) revealed Tuesday.I used to think Israel was a smart country when it comes to security, but not considering Iran, who's government has called for the annihilation of Israel and denies the holocaust, is ludicrous.
According to the report, Iranians have, over the past two years, been targeting Israelis of Iranian origin who traveled to Iran to visit relatives.
Counterintuitively, Iran is not considered an enemy state by Israel, and Israelis can travel freely to the country.
On Tuesday afternoon, Labor MK Ami Ayalon told Channel One that the reports show that Iran sees Israel as a threat.Eh, no need to worry here, right?
He added that Israel's classified defense information is digitized and kept on computer systems, and that these systems would be the Iranians' primary targets.
In the past two years, over 100 Israelis have applied for visas to Iran, 10 of whom were questioned by the Shin Bet and discovered to have been recruited as spies by the Iranians.
"The Iranians are collecting intensive intelligence on the state of Israel," a senior Shin Bet official told reporters.
Iran sees Israelis who travel to the country as potential spies, who can gather intelligence against Israel.
The Shin Bet said that Iran's intelligence gathering focused on three main points: Israel's decision-making echelon; Israeli military and defense establishments; and the strengths and weaknesses of Israeli society.
Since Iran does not allow anyone into the country whose passport bears an Israeli entrance stamp, Israelis who want to travel to Iran must pass through the Iranian Consulate in Turkey, where they are issued special documents that allows them into to Iran, or alternatively - take out an Iranian passport.
From the interrogation of the ten suspected spies, it emerged that Iranian intelligence officers disguised as diplomats work at the Iranian Consulate in Turkey. Israelis who arrive are taken into a separate room and questioned for hours about their military background, their families, political issues in Israel and possible connections to defense officials.Why in God's name would any Jew live in Iran? That is just insane! Well, I hope the Israeli government listens to Shin Bet, because it amazes me this has gone on this long.
The Shin Bet identified one of those officers as "Takwi," otherwise known as "Abdulli," and another as "Zinali."
After the initial contact at the consulate in Istanbul, the Israelis who arrive in Iran are taken again for questioning and, in many cases, their travel documents are confiscated. In some cases, Israelis are stuck in Iran for several months, the Shin Bet said.
The Israelis are then contacted again with an offer to help them trace their documents and leave Iran.
Once the documents are returned, the Israelis are usually asked to begin gathering information to pass on to their handlers.
In some cases, the Israelis were requested to obtain research papers and photos of classified military installations in exchange for thousands of dollars.
In the case of an Israeli who was offered a large sum to cooperation with Iranian intelligence, Iran hinted that his refusal would meet with a negative response. In some cases, Iranian intelligence has been known to arrest the Israeli citizens' relatives in Iran.
The Shin Bet has urged the Knesset to pass legislation defining Iran as a combatant country.
There are currently 25,000 Jews residing in Iran.
I would like to know if our government let's Iranian nationals into our country still. Heck, when I was in the Air Force, we were training Iranians on our military bases.
