iran gonna to be IRAQ!


I dont know why but something bad bother me!
IO feel its gonna to be something like Iraq where as most of my friends dont think so!
but I think different! if USA government leaders want to withdraw from Iraq and leave iran free to make its nuclear ambitions a real image, they did it after their lose in senate election! but they didnt so!
seems now, they are more eager to breake iranian hardliners dream to be a nuclear power and more, to be a greatest regional power! something over KSA,UAE and Turkey!

Iran's response called unsatisfactory

link
VIENNA -- Germany said yesterday that Iran's response to a package of incentives to halt its nuclear program was unsatisfactory because of its refusal to freeze uranium enrichment, and diplomats suggested Tehran now faces a greater risk of UN sanctions.

Two senior diplomats who were briefed on the Iranian response said in an interview that world powers would probably reject it.
The UN Security Council has set a deadline of next Thursday for Iran to freeze enrichment -- a possible pathway to nuclear arms -- and the six nations offering to talk to Iran say such a step must precede the start of any discussions.
But the diplomats said the 25-page document does not directly suggest an enrichment moratorium, even after negotiations start.
Instead, it includes only a vague reference to a willingness to discuss all aspects of the country's nuclear program, said the diplomats who spoke from two European capitals and asked for anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the confidential proposal.
They said the reaction among the six powers -- France, Germany, Britain, Russia, the United States, and China -- was one of disappointment and even anger that Tehran would not consider a suspension of uranium enrichment as a precondition for any new talks.
A day after the US administration issued a guarded assessment of Iran's long-awaited response, Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany said yesterday it was unsatisfactory, and was missing a ``decisive sentence" on whether it would halt uranium enrichment.
``We are still examining it, but from everything that I hear we cannot be satisfied," Merkel said in an interview with N24 television. ``What we expected is not set down here: `We are suspending our uranium enrichment, we are coming to the negotiating table and we will then talk about the chances and possibilities for Iran.' "
The comments by Merkel, a close ally of President Bush, reflect the increasing frustration of the United States and its key European allies who have been forced to wait for several weeks for an Iranian response.
White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said Bush spoke yesterday with Merkel and Prime Minister Romano Prodi of Italy about Iran, but Perino would not say whether the leaders were of the same mind about what should be done next.
The US State Department has said that Iran considered its proposal to be a serious one and promised to review it, as did the five other nations that offered political and economic rewards to Tehran July 1 if it agreed to a freeze enrichment.
But the diplomats suggested that despite assurances of a serious review, the capitals involved found little of substance in the document.
One of them said that much of the Iranian response, delivered Tuesday, confines itself to ``a history of Iran's nuclear program from Tehran's point of view," including arguments that enrichment was its right under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
In it, Iran also asks for more information on various elements of the July 1 offer, including hints that Tehran's cooperation could lead to bolstered security for the country and the possibility that some or all US sanctions might be lifted if there is agreement, said one of the diplomats.
One of the diplomats said in an interview that the lack of Iranian flexibility on enrichment would likely leave even Russia and China no choice but to ultimately endorse UN sanctions against Iran.
Moscow and Beijing previously have steadily put the brakes on US-backed efforts to punish Tehran quickly, but have stipulated that Iran must freeze enrichment.
Iran maintains it has offered ``positive and clear signals" to resolve the dispute over its nuclear program.
Although neither Iran nor its six interlocutors have released the text of Tehran's counteroffer, two well-informed Iranian academics said it included about 100 questions, including a request for a timetable for the West to implement its incentives package.
Abbas Maleki, director of the International Institute For Caspian Studies in Tehran, and Kevah Afrasiabi, an author and political scientist, made the statement yesterday in a report distributed by Agence Global.
The two also said that Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, Ali Larijani, had declared Iran's willingness to use its influence in Lebanon for an exchange of prisoners held by Hezbollah and Israel, ``reminding the world of Iran's stabilizing role."

Iran ex-president defends nuclear program, says no desire to build atomic bomb

link
Former Iranian president Mohammad Khatami defended his nation's right to the peaceful use of nuclear power, insisting that the Islamic republic had no desire to build an atomic bomb. 'We are seeking a peaceful kind of use of nuclear technology,' Khatami told a seminar at the United Nations University in Tokyo, speaking through a translator. 'Iran doesn't want to get access to nuclear weapons. Not at all. We do not need them,' said Khatami, a reformist who was president from 1997 to 2005 and has since been replaced by the more hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Khatami reiterated Tehran's view that it has 'the legitimate right' to produce energy from nuclear technology as other countries do. 'If they are very much concerned about nuclear weapons, we are a member of NPT (Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty) and we have signed the protocol,' said Khatami, who was in Japan for a conference on religion and peace in Kyoto. Khatami yesterday met with Japanese Prime Minister Juniciro Koizumi and warned against possible UN sanctions on Iran over its disputed nuclear program, foreign ministry officials said. Western nations have reacted coolly to Iran's response to an offer by the five permanent Security Council members and Germany of incentives in return for a halt to uranium enrichment. The standoff over Iran's nuclear program has to be resolved through negotiations, Khatami told Koizumi. Koizumi said Japan -- a major importer of Iranian oil -- wants Tehran to take a cooperative stance toward the international community and to suspend uranium enrichment. The Security Council adopted a resolution last month giving Iran until August 31 to freeze its uranium enrichment programme or face possible sanctions.

Iran given deadline to cease nuclear program

Reporter: Michael Rowland
TONY EASTLEY: Iran has until next Thursday to halt its nuclear program, or face a range of financial penalties.But US intelligence agencies are under fire for not knowing enough about Iran's intentions.A Congressional committee claims the CIA and other bodies haven't provided enough direct evidence that Iran intends building a nuclear weapon, a key assertion by those wanting to impose sanctions on the Tehran regime.At the same time the Bush administration is saying it does have evidence that Iran is directly supporting Shi'ite militias in Iraq.Washington Correspondent, Michael Rowland reports.MICHAEL ROWLAND: America's intelligence agencies are still licking their wounds after the public flogging they received for insisting Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction, an assertion used to justify for the invasion of Iraq.Now America's spies are under pressure for not doing their homework on that other alleged threat to national security - Iran.The House of Representatives Intelligence Committee has released a report that savages the CIA and other agencies for what it says are the major gaps in America's knowledge of Iran's nuclear program.Committee members, including Republican Congressman Mike Rogers, say the intelligence agencies must supply more evidence that Iran wants to build nuclear weapons and that the regime is a significant threat to the US.MIKE ROGERS: Given where Iran is as a world player, and not a good world player, we need better information as soon as you can possibly get it. So, it was more of an encouragement for the intelligence community that, listen, and there's three sections of intelligence gathering - what you know, what you don't know, and what we don't know we don't know - and we've asked them to step it up on the last two portions of that.MICHAEL ROWLAND: Fellow Republican Congressman, Peter Hoekstra, says Congress wants to avoid another "slam dunk", the phrase used by former CIA Director George Tenet about the intelligence on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.The report notes Iran could be following Saddam Hussein's lead by engaging in a campaign of deception to exaggerate progress on its nuclear program.And with the Tehran regime showing no sign of stopping the program, Congressman Mike Rogers fears Iran could have a nuclear weapon within five years, all the more reason, he believes, to press ahead with sanctions.MIKE ROGERS: This is a problem that is international in scope and we all better come together, we can slow down that five years with international sanctions. Right now the United States has those sanctions on not enough. We need to have an international focus on sanctions.MICHAEL ROWLAND: As it struggles to maintain international support for sanctions, the Bush administration is pointing the finger even more directly at Iran over its ties with the Shi'ite militias wreaking havoc in Iraq.Previously the US has said Iran was offering indirect support to the militias, now Senior Pentagon Official, Brigadier General Michael Barbero, says the Tehran regime is actively fuelling the sectarian violence that's tearing the country apart.MICHAEL BARBERO: I think it's irrefutable that Iran is responsible for training, funding, and equipping some of these Shia extremist groups, and also providing advanced IED (improvised explosive device) technology.MICHAEL ROWLAND: It's all part of the rapidly intensifying US campaign to paint Iran as the latest regional bogey-man that needs to be tamed.

Oil prices slip on Iran's offer

SINGAPORE — Oil prices dropped slightly Wednesday as traders locked in profits in response to Iran's offer to continue negotiations on its nuclear program.
Traders also awaited the weekly U.S. inventory report, which was expected to show relatively small gasoline stock draws for this time of year, the prime American driving season.
try{OAS_AD('Middle');}catch(e){}


Light, sweet crude for October delivery was down 20 cents to $72.90 a barrel in midmorning Asian electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The September contract, which closed Tuesday, settled at $72.63 a barrel, up 18 cents.
In other Nymex trading, natural gas futures rose 6.5 cents to $7.073 per 1,000 cubic feet. Gasoline futures dropped 0.53 cent to $1.9340 per gallon, while heating oil futures were up marginally to $2.0375 per gallon.
The face-off between Iran, OPEC's No. 2 oil producer, and the West has worried traders for months. The U.N. Security Council passed a resolution last month calling for Iran to suspend uranium enrichment _ which could be used to create nuclear weapons _ by Aug. 31 or face the threat of economic and diplomatic sanctions. That has clouded the outlook for Iran's oil supplies.
In its official response to a package of incentives aimed at persuading Iran to suspend uranium enrichment, Tehran said Tuesday it was ready for "serious negotiations" on its nuclear program.
But a semiofficial news agency said the government was unwilling to abandon uranium enrichment _ the key U.S. demand _ and Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had said Monday that Tehran will pursue nuclear technology.
"It seems the country has rejected (the incentives package), and this is as expected," said Koichi Murakami, an analyst with brokerage Daiichi Shohin in Tokyo. "Given that, traders are locking in profits."
In the weekly oil data from the U.S. Department of Energy, due out later Wednesday, crude oil and gasoline stockpiles are both expected to fall, according to a Dow Jones Newswires survey of analysts. The average drop expected in crude oil inventories was 1.1 million barrels.
The market is also concerned that hurricanes could strike Gulf of Mexico production and refining facilities.

Iran 'benefiting from war on terror'

Iran’s influence in the Middle East has been bolstered by America’s so-called war on terror, according to a new report.The report, by researchers at think-tank the Royal Institute for International Studies in London – also known as Chatham House – says: “There is little doubt that Iran has been the chief beneficiary of the war on terror in the Middle East.“The United States, with Coalition support, has eliminated two of Iran’s regional rival governments – the Taliban in Afghanistan in November 2001 and Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq in April 2003 – but has failed to replace either with coherent and stable political structures.”The report, called Iran, Its Neighbours And Regional Crises, adds that the recent conflicts between Israel and the Palestinians in Gaza and between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon have added to that instability.One of the report’s authors, Dr Ali Ansari, reader in modern history at the University of St Andrews, told Radio Four: “The United States needs to take a step back and reassess its entire policy towards Iran and work out, first of all, what does it want and how is it going to achieve it because at the moment everything is rather like putting a sticking plaster on a fairly raw wound and it is not really actually doing much at all.”

The report, in its executive summary, says Iran has now superseded America as the most influential power in the Middle East.“Iran is simply too important – for political, economic, cultural, religions and military reasons – to be treated lightly by any state in the Middle East or indeed Asia,” it says.It says the wars and instability in Afghanistan and Iraq have “further strengthened Iran”, adding that: “The US-driven agenda for confronting Iran is severely compromised by the confident ease with which Iran sits in its region.”Concerning Iran’s apparent attempts to develop nuclear weapons, the report says the country’s importance in the region “helps explain why Iran feels able to resist western pressure”.“While the US and Europeans slowly grind the nuclear issue through the mills of the International Atomic Energy Agency and the United Nations Security Council, Iran continues to prevaricate, feeling confident of victory as conditions turn ever more in its favour,” it says.
