Manufacturing Consent For War With Iran

U.S. says Iran may be able to make nukes by 2009 : The head of American intelligence said Tuesday that it is unclear whether Tehran has returned to its production of nuclear weapons in the past six months, and warned that Iran "would be technically capable of producing enough highly enriched uranium for a weapon" by the end of next year.

Iran retains nuclear plans, says US intelligence chief: The senior US intelligence official yesterday stressed that a recent report on Iran had concluded that Tehran had halted only one part of its alleged nuclear weapons programme.

Iran General Staff fear U.S. attack while Bush in power : "While Bush is in power, that is throughout 2008, U.S. military action against the Islamic Republic is still likely," Gholamali Rashid said.

IAEA chief warns against military action to solve Iranian nuclear issue : ElBaradei, Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said a military strike to settle the Iranian nuclear issue would complicate the situation and send the Middle East region into a vicious cycle of violence.

Ahmadinejad Withdrawing Nuclear Proposal: "But if others formulated it again, we would study it — under one condition: that the Iranian people's right to enrich uranium be preserved," the Iranian leader said.

S. Africa protests plan to sanction Iran: South Africa on Tuesday protested a "rush" by the five veto-wielding Security Council members to adopt new United Nations sanctions against Iran, saying it wants to wait for a report from the U.N. nuclear agency later this month.

Iran says Gulf shields its banks from U.S. pressure: U.S. allies such as Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates are helping shield Iran's banking system from Washington's "financial terrorism", the governor of Iran's central bank said on Tuesday.

Connecting The Many Undersea Cut Cable Dots : The last week has seen a spate of unexplained, cut, undersea communications cables that has severely disrupted communications in many countries in the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia. As I shall show, the total numbers of cut cables remain in question, but likely number as many as eight, and maybe nine or more.
