Security Council Votes New Sanctions Against Iran
March 03, 2008 The New York Times Warren Hoge Elaine Sciolino

The Security Council on Monday adopted its third resolution imposing sanctions on Iran for its refusal to cease enriching uranium, an activity that Western nations say is designed to build nuclear weapons.The previous two measures gained unanimous support of the 15-member panel, but in Monday’s balloting, Indonesia abstained, saying it “remained to be convinced of the efficacy of adopting additional sanctions at this juncture.” Fourteen countries voted in favor.The resolution authorizes inspections of cargo to and from Iran that is suspected of carrying prohibited equipment, tightens the monitoring of Iranian financial institutions and extends travel bans and asset freezes against persons and companies involved in the nuclear program.It adds 13 names to the existing list of 5 individuals and 12 companies subject to travel and asset restrictions. The new names include people with direct responsibility for building fast-spinning centrifuges that enrich uranium ore and a brigadier general engaged in “efforts to get round the sanctions” in the two earlier resolutions.The new measure also bans all trade and supply of so-called dual-use items, materials and technologies that can be adapted for military as well as civilian ends.Earlier Monday in Vienna, Mohamed ElBaradei, the director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations nuclear monitor, said that newly disclosed intelligence reports that Iran had secretly researched how to make nuclear weapons were of “serious concern” and would be pursued by his office.“Iran continues to maintain that these alleged weaponization studies related to conventional weapons only are fabricated,” Dr. ElBaradei said in a speech to the agency’s 35-country policy-making body. “However a full-fledged examination of this issue has yet to take place.”The studies were described last Monday, in a briefing for the agency’s 35-country governing body by Olli Heinonen, the agency’s senior inspector.They included sketches and a video that appeared to have come from Iran’s own military laboratories, and Mr. Heinonen said they showed work “not consistent with any application other than the development of a nuclear weapon.”In a thinly veiled criticism of Iran, Dr. ElBaradei said, “I urge Iran to be as active and cooperative as possible in working with the agency to clarify this matter of serious concern.”Iran says that the agency’s findings support its claim that its nuclear program is solely for peaceful purposes, and it has rejected all suggestions that it was studying how to make nuclear weapons.Iran’s ambassador to the agency, Ali Asghar Soltanieh, called the intelligence data “forged and fabricated” and denounced the new Council resolution Monday as “irresponsible” and “an arrow aiming at the heart of” the atomic energy agency.Iran argues that its program is devoted solely to producing fuel for nuclear reactors that generate electricity. The United States and its European allies on the council contend the real purpose is to make Iran an atomic power, and they say they are determined to prevent that from happening.The resolution voted Monday was originally scheduled for a decision on Friday, but its two sponsors, Britain and France, delayed consideration in the hope of getting as close to unanimity as possible. In addition to Indonesia, three other Council countries - Libya, South Africa and Vietnam - had expressed reservations.To address them, the final version included last minute language changes making it clear that cargo inspections must conform to local and international laws and stressing the central role of the International Atomic Energy Agency and evidence in the latest report from Dr. ElBaradei Feb. 22 that Iran was cooperating with the agency.The resolution extends the reach of punishments in the two earlier measures, adopted in December, 2006 and March, 2007, but it does not make them any tougher.The text was drawn up after months of talks among the Council’s five permanent members - Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States — and Germany, which is not a Council member.It repeats a pledge from the six countries to establish full relations and economic cooperation with Iran should it agree to suspend enrichment-related and reprocessing activities.In Vienna, Britain, France and Germany said they were preparing a draft resolution critical of Iran that could be adopted by the agency’s policy-making body later this week. The United States, Canada, Australia and Japan already have indicated privately they would support such a move.It would be the first time the board had passed such a resolution on Iran since it sent the Iran to the Security Council for review two years ago.The United States, which in the past has criticized Dr. ElBaradei for not being tough enough on Iran, expressed support for this approach. “Despite some progress in addressing past issues, troubling questions remain about Iranian activities that strongly suggest a clandestine weapons-related program,” Gregory L. Schulte, the American envoy to the agency, told reporters in Vienna.He added, “Between the indications of weapons work, which would constitute a violation of Iran’s treaty obligations and Iran’s blatant violations of Security Council resolutions, there is strong reason for Iran’s file to remain open both in New York and in Vienna.”

Iran's Nuclear Shell Game

On Monday, the UN Security Council finally made good on its threats to slap more sanctions on Iran for its nuclear arrogance. For those keeping score, that's three sets of sanctions ... and counting.

UN Deepens the Iran Nuclear Crisis

On Monday, the United Nations Security Council adopted a third round of sanctions on Iran [1] that will likely escalate the nuclear crisis, given Tehran's stated promise to resist "unlawful" pressures and demands. This may well mean resisting a key aspect of the UN resolution that calls for the interdiction of ships and airplanes carrying suspected nuclear cargo to and from Iran.

Iranian President Loses Face
Iran's radical president ended a red-carpet visit to Baghdad yesterday without getting the photo-op he desperately wanted with Iraq's most powerful cleric. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had wanted to visit the holy city of Najaf to see Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, but that event was scrubbed due to a scheduling problem, according to an Iraqi TV channel, al-Sharquiyah

Stop Iran's Power Grab
Iran's campaign to become the leading power in the Middle East is moving ahead on several fronts. It may be stopped by firm international economic and diplomatic pressure, but the opportunity to act is slipping away

Iran Just Won't Stay Isolated
The U.N. Security Council on Monday passed a third round of sanctions against Iran. But at the same time that the United States and its European allies were building support for the new U.N. resolution, Iran's president was making an official visit to Iraq, the first such visit since the Islamic Revolution in 1979. The upshot is that despite the tightening of U.N. sanctions, the West's efforts to contain Iran are crumbling where it matters most: in the Middle East

به پشت بام منازل مردم می روند و ديش ها را جمع می کنند

فاز جديد جمع آوري ديش هاي ماهواره يي از پشت بام منازل مردم آغاز شده است. ديروز يگان هايي از نيروي انتظامي با وانت و کاميون به برخي مناطق شهرک غرب و سعادت آباد و شهرک اکباتان اعزام شدند و ديش هاي ماهواره يي را از پشت بام ها جمع کردند. همچنين گزارش رسيده در برخي شهرک هاي اطراف تهران هم جمع آوري ماهواره ها آغاز شده است. عرف نيروي انتظامي هم اين است که به پشت بام منازل مردم مي روند و ديش ها را از بالاي ساختمان ها به پايين پرتاب مي کنند و سپس ديش ها را با وانت و کاميون به مکان هاي معين منتقل مي کنند.


سردار از ما خواست لخت شویم و نماز جماعت بخوانیم!

سایت پیک نت: سردار سرتیپ پاسدار "زارعی" فرمانده نیروی انتظامی استان تهران و مسئول مستقیم اجرای طرح باصطلاح مقابله با اوباش در یک خانه فساد و در حالیکه با شش زن سرگرم عیش و نوش بود بازداشت شد. این بازداشت بدستور مستقیم آیت الله شاهرودی و از روی سر قاضی مرتضوی دادستان مرکز صورت گرفت و همین مسئله برای 48 ساعت به تند ترین واکنش ها در قوه قضائیه انجامید. از آنجا که شاهرودی حدس می زده قاضی مرتضوی با توجه به رابطه بسیار نزدیکی که با "زارعی" دارد، او را از ماجرای بازداشت مطلع کرده و نجات خواهد داد، طرح بازداشت "زارعی" بدون اطلاع او صورت گرفت. حتی گفته می شود برکناری رئیس دادگاه فرودگاه نیز در همین ارتباط و برای کور کردن پیوندهای وی با مرتضوی و زارعی صورت گرفته است. صدور قرار وثیقه و آزادی زارعی و جلوگیری از پخش خبر به بهانه عدم تضعیف نیروی انتظامی نیز به معنای پایان کشاکش تند بین شاهرودی و مرتضوی نیست و در روزهای اخیر این مسئله در شعب دادگاه ها و دادسرای تهران بر سر زبان قضات و روسای این شعب و دادسراست. در شعبه.... دادگاه های تهران، رئیس دادگاه، رئیس دفتر و حتی منشی دادگاه گفتند که شاهرودی تاکنون یک قدم از مجازات شدید زارعی عقب نشینی نکرده و بیت رهبری هم خواهان اجرای قانون شده است، اما بدون سرو صدا و پس از انتخابات!مبنای اولیه تحقیقات مردم محلی بوده اند که خانه فساد در آن برپا بوده است. مردم این خانه را بعنوان خانه ای مشکوک معرفی می کنند و روز حمله به این خانه، سردار زارعی در کنار شش زن و دختر و در شرایطی زننده بازداشت می شود.
زنانی که در آن خانه بوده اند نیز بازداشت شده اند و در جریان بازجوئی و تحقیقات گفته اند سردار زارعی از ما خواسته بود لخت شده و دسته جمعی به صف شده و نماز بخوانیم!


Ahmadinejad: US Should Leave Iraq : By QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA

BAGHDAD (AP) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday dismissed U.S. accusations that his country is training extremists and demanded that the Americans withdraw from Iraq. Speaking in a nearly hour-long news conference at the end of an unprecedented visit to Iraq, Ahmadinejad said the U.S. allegations - that Iran is training Shiite militants who target American troops and Muslim rivals - don't matter to the Iranians."Of course American officials make such remarks and such statements, and we do not care ... because they make statements on the basis of erroneous information," said the hard-line Iranian leader, who smiled through much of the session. "We cannot count on what they say."He said the foreign presence in Iraq was an "insult to the regional nations and a humiliation." Ahmadinejad is the first Iranian president to visit Iraq, and his two-day trip highlighted one of the unintended consequences for Washington after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of the Iraq that ousted Saddam Hussein from power.Under Saddam, a Sunni who once led an eight-year war against Iran, the two countries were bitter enemies, but Iraq's new Shiite-dominated government has deep ties to Iran's cleric-led Islamic republic.Ahmadinejad was warmly received by Iraqi President Jabal Talabani, a Sunni Kurd, and other Iraqi leaders. He said Tehran and Baghdad are "brotherly" nations who share many beliefs and values."Of course, dictators and foreigners have tried to tarnish and undermine the emotional relations between the two states," he said.After meeting Sunday with Talabani, who told the Iranian leader to call him "Uncle Jalal," Ahmadinejad drove through the U.S.-controlled Green Zone to visit Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, a fellow Shiite, at his Cabinet offices.The sprawling Green Zone contains the core of the U.S. diplomatic mission to Iraq - including a massive new embassy - and is heavily protected against occasional rocket barrages. American officials have accused Iran of backing Shiite extremists behind such attacks."The presence of foreigners in the region has been to the detriment of the nations of the region," Ahmadinejad said. "It is nothing but a humiliation to the regional nations."Their only achievements are that regional nations further dislike them, it adds to the regional nations' hatred. No one likes them."Pressed by a reporter how he knows the Iraqis don't like the U.S., Ahmadinejad said that the "Iraqi people have been anti-colonialist and anti-occupation in the course of their history.""If you go to the streets and talk to ordinary Iraqi people, you will be able to realize the true nature of such a claim," he said.Still, the Iraqis are precariously balanced between U.S. and Iran, with government officials saying in recent weeks that they don't want the country torn apart in a power struggle between the two sides.About 1,000 protesters in a Sunni-dominated neighborhood in Baghdad protested his visit Monday, a day after scattered demonstrations greeted his arrival. "Your mortars preceded your visit," one placard read.Though both Iraq and Iran have Shiite majorities, they were hostile to each other throughout Saddam's long reign. About 1 million people died in the fighting that ensued after Saddam invaded Iran in 1980.But when Saddam's Sunni-dominated regime fell to the U.S.-led invasion and Iraq's Shiite majority took power, long-standing ties between the Shiites of both countries flourished.Earlier Monday, Talabani and Ahmadinejad signed seven memorandums of understanding on issues including industrial development, trade and customs.
