Lool? Doesn't that mean "buzzed" in Farsi?

Iran is in a heap of trouble.....

Iran is dealing with two issues. First, Iran has captured 15 British sailors. Second, Iran has refused to cooperate with the U.N. regarding cessation of uranium enrichment.

Military confrontation may be on the horizon.

In addition to the British naval vessels at the Diego Garcia atoll in the Indian ocean, there is a multi-national force in the Persian Gulf. The British HMS Cornwall aircraft carrier strike group, the American aircraft carrier strike group Bremerton-based aircraft carrier CVN-74 John C. Stennis, the American aircraft carrier strike group USS Dwight D. Eisenhower and the French nuclear carrier Charles de Gaulle and its task force are all in close appoximation in the Persian Gulf. The USS Nimitz may also be in the Persian Gulf as it was scheduled for its WESTPAC07 deployment to replace the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Iran has elicited "confessions" from the 15 British sailors they captured and may put them on trial for espionage. The penalty for espionage in Iran is death.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article1563877.ece
“If it is proven that they deliberately entered Iranian territory, they will be charged with espionage. If that is proven, they can expect a very serious penalty since according to Iranian law, espionage is one of the most serious offences.” Espionage carries a death sentence.

Iran's detention of 15 Royal Navy personnel is "unjustified and wrong", Prime Minister Tony Blair has said. UK officials are waiting to be granted access to the HMS Cornwall staff, who were seized on Friday, and have not been told where the group are held.

"It simply is not true that they went into Iranian territorial waters and I hope the Iranian government understands how fundamental an issue this is for us," Mr Blair said.

"We have certainly sent the message back to them very clearly indeed. They should not be under any doubt at all about how seriously we regard this act, which is unjustified and wrong."

On March 23, 2007, U.S. and British officials said a boarding party from the frigate HMS Cornwall was seized about during a routine inspection of a merchant ship inside Iraqi territorial waters near the disputed Shatt al-Arab waterway.

The seizure of two Royal Navy inflatable boats took place just outside the mouth of the Shatt al-Arab waterway, a 125-mile channel dividing Iraq from Iran. Its name means Arab Coastline in Arabic, and Iranians call it Arvandrud - Persian for Arvand River. A 1975 treaty recognized the middle of the waterway as the border.

Iranians send arms to Iraqi extremists, including sophisticated roadside bombs. This week, two commanders of an Iraqi Shiite militia told The Associated Press in Baghdad that hundreds of Iraqi Shiites had crossed into Iran for training by the elite Quds force, a branch of Iran's Revolutionary Guard thought to have trained Hezbollah guerrillas in Lebanon.

Regarding enrichment of uranium, Iranian President Mahmaoud Ahmadinejad abruptly cancelled his appearance before the U.N. security council and in his stead, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki Iran spoke. He indicated that Iran was willing to continue negotiations but without the precondition that uranium enrichment must be halted.

Mottaki said, "the world has two options to proceed on the nuclear issue: continued negotiations or confrontation. Choosing the path of confrontation ... will have its own consequences. "

The U.N. security council unanimously voted to expand sanctions on March 24, 2007.

The new resolution 1747 calls on Iran to comply fully with all previous UN resolutions and join negotiations to reach agreement so as to restore international confidence in the peaceful nature of its nuclear program. Full transparency and cooperation with the IAEA are required. Suspension of Iran’s banned nuclear activities will elicit the parallel suspension of sanctions. The package of incentives offered Tehran last year for its cooperation remains on the table.

The full text of the draft of resolution 1747 appears at this website:

In a way, I agree with "Oneunder", he does remind me a bit of George W., but if they came to my party, I would hide the knives first. I do agree with "The Man" in that I respect him for standing up for Iran's rights.
Iran has attacked no one. In fact, it was first abandoned by the U.S. and the West and then drawn into an eight-year war with Iraq, during which the U.S. and the West armed both sides to the teeth. Many of the supplied weapons were illegal, unethical and immoral.
If Iran’s rhetoric and tirades against such duplicity seems over the top, what student of 20th-century history can blame the country? It has been royally shafted over the decades, even when Iranians elected a democratic government only to have it ousted by the U.S. and replaced by the Shah as a very cruel dictator.
While the U.S., U.K., France and others openly defy the international accords against nuclear arms proliferation and the illegal market in armaments, people in the west have the gall to haul Iran over the coals and give the West a free pass to get out of jail.
Iran is a much better global citizen than either the U.S. or Israel, and yet their crimes often go unreported and sometimes praised.
As for the comments re: the UN, that orginization could be very effective, but has to be revamped. No nation should have a "veto power", but all should work together as equals and it would be able to do the job as was intended. At the time, noone could have seen the fall of the USSR and the rise of the USA as the only superpower. The US has not assumed the role of "World Police" but rather the role of
"World Bully".
I personally think, Iran wants "nuclear power" for peaceful reasons, but how could anyone fault them for wanting weapons as deterrents. The US has given them to Isral and the rhetoric from both the US and Israel is "Death to Iran" .

taken care of with the up maximum (sic) appreciate? Ahmadinejad have been given the rudest creation to the objective audience at Columbia from none different than the president of the college! the people listening to Ahmadinejad laughed loudly and uncontrollably while he firmly reported that there are not any homosexuals in Iran. The President of Columbia college ambushed Ahmadinejad by way of inviting him to speak. This president additionally stated that he'd invite Adolf Hitler to speak so as that the scholars ought to hearken to what a tyrant sounds like.

I truly hope the Government of Iran (The Religious fundamental Islamic leaders)... will just get on with their lives and begin to become "honest"... It is my understanding that there is in Iran a great "middle-class" of younger people who would like to be associated with "The West" more... they seem to lack the will and fortitude to do anything about the Religious leader of Iran... Until the government of Iran is run by the "people" for the "people" it will get little from anyone in the West... Stop sponsoring terrorism and get on with the business of taking care of it's people... join the word community and be responsible.

I think that Ahmadinejad is playing a dangerous game. It's called "brinksmanship". He's provoking the West, gambling that no one will go to war, and that he and Iran will get what they want by doing that. I think that a lot of what he says and does is mainly for consumption by the folks there at home in Iran, but he's still a dangeous man because he has a worldwide audience.

I don't know who this Ahmadinejad guy is, but if he's against an entire REGION and its ideologies instead of a specific group of people, he needs to be stopped.

If the UN fails can't stop Iran from running amok, that's what the US is for. I know dirty the phrase "policing the world" has become, but somebody has to if the UN can't do its job.
