There’s Only One Way to Stop Iran

PRESIDENT OBAMA should not lament but sigh in relief that Iran has rejected his nuclear deal, which was ill conceived from the start. Under the deal, which was formally offered through the United Nations, Iran was to surrender some 2,600 pounds of lightly enriched uranium (some three-quarters of its known stockpile) to Russia, and the next year get back a supply of uranium fuel sufficient to run its Tehran research reactor for three decades. The proposal did not require Iran to halt its enrichment program, despite several United Nations Security Council resolutions demanding such a moratorium.

Mullen worries about Iran running out clock on U.S.

ABOARD A U.S. MILITARY AIRCRAFT The top U.S. military officer said Sunday he does not assume Iran's brief seizure of an Iraqi oil well is part of an orchestrated plan in Tehran to threaten its neighbors. Adm. Mike Mullen also said he's worried about "the clock now running" on the Obama administration's efforts at trying to keep the lines of communication open with Iran. The administration had given a rough deadline of the end of 2009 for Iran to respond to an offer of engagement and show that it would allay world concerns about its nuclear program.

Iran trying to maintain momentum of dialogue

Tehran apparently heard loud and clear President Barack Obama's hint to Iran in his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance Thursday, when he said it is "incumbent upon all of us to insist that nations like Iran and North Korea do not game the system." U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said publicly that he expected the international community to impose significant sanctions against Iran. However, Obama said he does not support isolating countries like Iran, preferring diplomatic solutions instead.

What’s making Iran run

By rejecting the P5+1 offer, the regime has placed itself in a difficult position and played into the hands of the American administration. Clearly, Iran's terms leave no room for further negotiations on the deal. The country is perceived as having torpedoed the dialogue initiated by Washington, thereby signaling that reaching an agreement with it on its nuclear program is out of the question. Rejection of the deal by Iran has also made an opponent of Russia, which had previously blocked efforts to impose sanctions on the country, but has now expressed readiness to join those efforts.

‘Iran should be confronted on human rights, not nukes’ – Haaretz – Israel News

A prominent Islamic scholar and Iranian dissident said on Friday the United States was missing an opportunity by negotiating with Iran solely over its nuclear capability and not the country's nascent democracy movement. Mohsen Kadivar, once an active participant in Iran's Islamic revolution who has become a critic of its theocracy, told students at Chicago's DePaul University he was pessimistic about U.S.-Iranian relations but suggested patience with President Barack Obama's 10-month-old administration.

The 3-minute video that may prove Iran’s nuclear intentions

VIENNA - The last place you would expect to hear the apocalyptic soundtrack of the movie "Chariots of Fire" would be Iran. This 1981 film recounts the story of a Jewish British athlete and his teammate, a devout Christian, who refuses to compete on Sunday, his day of rest. But this soundtrack accompanies a highly secret video, produced by Iranian nuclear scientists, but never screened before the general public - a three-minute film depicting a computerized simulation of the detonation of a warhead, most likely a nuclear one. Whether it was intentional or merely coincidental, the nameless Iranian editor decided to use the soundtrack of the British blockbuster to accompany the video. ...

Report from Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations

Reviewing the technical and legal aspects it could easily be concluded that the international community has been, to a great extent misled with bias, politicized and exaggerated information on Iranian nuclear programs and activities. Iranian nuclear issues which should have been dealt in a purely technical manner within the framework of the IAEA, has been politicized. In order to divert the attention of international community from the: immediate and serious security concerns as the result violation of article VI of the NPT; existence of the huge number of the nuclear warheads; recent development in manufacturing new types of nuclear weapons by two Nuclear Weapon States and the last but not the least the potential nuclear threat by Israel; being the only non-party to the NPT in the strategic region of Middle East.

On Leadership Panelists Bad leaders like Ahmadinejad must be forced to change.

During the past thirty years, Iran has been a sworn enemy of the United States. During the past five years, Iran has become far more powerful a player than before -- this in a region of critical strategic importance. During the past five years, Iran has sought aggressively to acquire more arms, now including nuclear arms. During the past year (as well as before) Iran oppressed its own dissenters -- many to the point of persecution. Finally, Ahmadinejad has himself, ironically, repeatedly and in no uncertain terms, been a Holocaust denier and Jew-hater. To gild this lily he has spoken openly and frequently of obliterating the state of Israel, of "wiping it off the map."

How to Press the Advantage With Iran

This article is more idealistic rather than realistic, not paying attention to the people and the situation at hand! "Because President Obama assembled a national security team that, for the most part, did not share his early vision for American-Iranian rapprochement, his administration never built a strong public case for engagement. The prospect of engagement is still treated largely as a channel for rewarding positive Iranian actions and punishing problematic behavior precisely what Mr. Obama, as a presidential candidate, criticized so eloquently about President George W. Bush s approach."
