    He wasn’t along on the trip, but the president of Norway’s Parliament, Thorbjørn Jagland, now thinks the parliament’s foreign affairs committee should not have visited Iran last month.
    Jagland’s criticism is surprising, not least because the committee is headed by a fellow Labour Party politician, Olav Akselsen. Jagland also criticized Norway’s foreign policy towards Iran, even though that’s guided by another Labour Party politician, Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.

  5. MEMRI The Crisis in Iranian-Russian Relations over Iran’s Nuclear Project(2)
    By: Y. Mansharof
    The current crisis in Iranian-Russian relations focuses on two areas: a) the delay in the construction and activation of the nuclear reactor at Bushehr; and b) Iran’s missile project.
    Russia’s suspicions regarding Iran’s intentions have reached new heights, with Russian government representatives publicly accusing Iran of carrying out covert nuclear activity and of striving to obtain the capability to construct nuclear weapons.
    In Iran, on the other hand, there are increasing calls to regard Bushehr as a litmus test for Iranian-Russian relations, alongside calls to complete the construction of the Bushehr reactor with the assistance of countries other than Russia – or, alternatively, to rely on Iran’s independent capabilities.

    Chávez will die wirtschaftliche Kooperation mit dem Iran und Russland verstärken. von thilo f. papacek
    Sie scheinen einander wirklich lieb zu haben. Venezuelas Präsident Hugo Chávez Frías und sein iranischer Amtskollege Mahmoud Ahmadinejad haben lange Zeit Händchen gehalten, als sie am Montag vergangener Woche eine petrochemische Anlage in Assaluyeh an der iranischen Golfküste einweihten, berichtete die BBC.
    Chávez ist erneut auf Tour, und seine Route führte ihn zu den Ländern, die er in seiner kruden außenpolitischen Weltsicht auf seiner Seite wähnt. Wie bereits im vergangenen Jahr besuchte er Staatschefs in Russland, Weißrussland und Iran, die, wie er selbst auch, eine gespannte oder feindselige Beziehung zur US-amerikanischen Regierung haben. Mit ihnen will Chávez wirtschaftlich kooperieren, um gegenüber den USA an Stärke zu gewinnen. »Der gemeinsame Aufbau von Unternehmen wird es uns ermöglichen, das Monopol der Supermächte zu brechen«, sagte er in Teheran.
