WORLD MUST TAKE STRONGER STAND AGAINST THREAT
Miami Herald - If nothing else, the rantings of President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad have erased whatever doubt may have existed about the
dangers posed by a nuclear-armed Iran. Ever since the former mayor of
Tehran was elected to head the country in mid-2005, he has repeatedly
displayed open hostility toward the West, and Israel in particular.
It's time for other nations to join the United States in a campaign to
block Iran's drive to speed up its nuclear-development program.

NCRI – Iranian regime rejected an offer from Russia to conduct uranium
enrichment activities on its soil for that country. Mullahs’ foreign
ministry spokesman told reporters on Sunday: "We have still not
received the concrete offer, but it is clear that we will accept

the Islamic republic to carry out enrichment on its own soil.”

NCRI - The European Union and Iranian regime still appear to be on a collision course over Tehran's alleged atomic weapons intentions despite the revival of talks, diplomats and analysts told AFP Thursday.
The EU talks with Iranian regime resumed on Wednesday over Tehran's nuclear program but with the regime insisting on its right to make nuclear fuel, and the West suspicious that this could be used to manufacture atom bombs, the two sides are far apart, EU and mullahs' officials said.

Reuters - European powers revive dialogue with Iran on Wednesday over
suspicions it is secretly trying to make nuclear bombs, but weeks of
tension have diminished hopes they will make headway in defusing the
crisis.
Confrontation rather than compromise has been brewing after
declarations from Iran that the Holocaust is a myth and Israel should
be wiped out, and a European Union accusation on Tuesday that Tehran
has serially violated human rights at home.

Agence France Presse - On the eve of crucial nuclear talks with Iran, diplomats say Tehran is already laying the groundwork for uranium enrichment, and may even be secretly making parts for sophisticated P2 centrifuges.
"The Iranian National Security Council is at this very time deliberating exactly when enrichment is to be resumed," a diplomat told AFP.
Enriched uranium can fuel nuclear power plants or be used in atom bombs, and the ability to produce it is considered a "breakout capacity" for making nuclear weapons.

NCRI - Gulf Cooperation Council leaders, alarmed at Iranian regime’s
nuclear ambitions, examined proposals for a nuclear-free zone in the
world's top oil-producing region during summit talks on Sunday.
"The international community is calling for an end to the spread of
weapons of mass destruction. This has become a global demand. One day,
our grandchildren should be able to live in safety from this evil,"
Youssef bin Alwai bin Abdullah, the Omani minister responsible for
foreign affairs, told reporters shortly before the talks ended for the
day.
