    US-Präsident Bush nimmt den Iran ins Visier.
    Washington – US-Präsident George W. Bush ist offenbar entschlossen, auch mit dem Iran Krieg zu führen.  
    In einer Rede vor Veteranen sagte er: „Das aktive Streben des Irans nach Technologie, die zu Atomwaffen führen könnte, droht eine ohnehin schon für Instabilität und Gewalt bekannte Region in den Schatten eines nuklearen Holocausts zu stellen.“ Und das will Bush auf jeden Fall verhindern. „Wir werden gegen diese Gefahr angehen, bevor es zu spät ist.“ Bush rief alle Verbündeten auf, „Irans Regime zu isolieren und Wirtschaftssanktion en zu verhängen“. Irans Präsident und Mullah-Hitler Mahmoud Ahmadinedschad lässt sich davon nicht einschüchtern. Jetzt drohte er sogar den USA, nach deren Abzug aus dem Irak werde der Iran die Kontrolle dort übernehmen.      
    So pokern beide Präsidenten hoch. Der Preis ist allerdings der Weltfrieden. US-Experten erkennen bereits verschiedene Indizien für einen Angriff in den nächsten sechs Monaten.

  6. TOWNHALL – More On Iran

    I am off to Texas today to broadcast tomorrow from the state GOP convention.  Dean will be sitting in today.  Before I go, a quartet of pointers.
    First, Dr. Barnett posts more on our exchange from Tuesday here at his blog.  I will invite him back for an extended conversation next week as his analysis is usually valuable and often unique and perhaps I am missing it, which is what Dr. Barnett clearly believes.  I put what I thought was a fair summary of key parts of his views to three other professionals yesterday –General Simmons, Christopher Hitchens and Dr. Kimberly Kagan.  Their responses:
    From Major General James E. Simmons, Deputy Commander for Support of Multi-National Forces, Iraq:

     

  7. CHRISFLOYD – Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock: Countdown to Midnight in Persia     
    Written by Chris Floyd    
    Thursday, 30 August 2007 
    Day after day, almost hour by hour, fresh confirmation comes of the impending American attack on Iran. Yet the same surreal malaise that hung over public affairs before the war of aggression against Iraq has descended again. Everyone knows the war is coming and nothing will stop it, but the strange, ludicrous shadow play of sham „debate“ goes on, as if there were some kind of political or diplomatic maneuver out there that could deflect the Bush-Cheney junta from its long-chosen course. But nothing will stop them, just as nothing — not even 10 million people in the streets around the world, the largest protest in human history — stopped them from the rape of Iraq. It’s what they want to do — and they will do it.
    The latest confirmation arrives from Juan Cole’s new spin-off blog, „Global Affairs,“ where Barnett Rubin writes:

Die derzeit in Berlin lebende Jasmin K. erklärte gegenüber Medien, dass sie in ihrer Heimat die Hinrichtung durch Steinigung erwarte. Ihre Anwältin Eva Lindemeier legte zudem ein Urteil vor, nach dem ein iranisches Gericht die Frau bereits im vergangenen Jahr zum Tode verurteilt habe – in deren Abwesenheit.

    1. PINKNEWS – Euro-Parliament takes up the case of Iranian lesbian facing deportation
      Gemma Pritchard
      European Parliament President Hans Gert Pöettering has said he will write a letter to Prime Minister Gordon Brown regarding the fate of Pegah Emambakhsh, the Iranian lesbian woman who risks expulsion from Great Britain to Iran.
      His actions follow proposals by Italian MEP Giusto Catania (PRC), representing the European United Left/Nordic Green Left (GUE/NGL) Group in the European Parliament during today’s Conference of Presidents, and Graham Watson, President of the Parliament’s Liberal Group.
      Pegah Emambakhsh, 40, who fled to Britain from Iran in 2005 after her partner was arrested and tortured, is due to be expelled this week after her bid for residency was rejected, according to a British advocacy group.

  9. honestlyconcerned – Shirin Ebadi fordert die Kontrolle durch die UNO
    Shirin Ebadi, Juristin, Menschenrechtlerin und Friedensnobelpreist rägerin, hat Louis Arbour, Hochkommissarin für Menschenrechte der Vereinten Nationen, aufgefordert sich um die Lage der Frauen in Iran zu kümmern.
    Der 27. August war der Jahrestag der Gründung der Kampagne „Eine Million Unterschriften zur Änderung der diskriminierenden Gesetze“.[1]
    Vor diesem Hintergrund warf Shirin Ebadi der iranischen Regierung und den staatlichen Instanzen des Iran vor, die Aktivistinnen der iranischen Frauenbewegung, die sich für die Menschenrechte der Frauen einsetzen, permanent zu verhaften. Ebadi zufolge sind in den letzten Monaten über 50 Aktivistinnen der Frauenbewegung inhaftiert worden. Manchen von ihnen warf man sogar „Aktivitäten gegen die nationale Sicherheit“ vor.
    Ebadi forderte in einem Schreiben an Louis Arbour, UNO-Hochkommissarin für Menschenrechte, die Einrichtung einer Untersuchungskommis sion, die die Situation der Frauen im Iran untersucht. Ebadi meint, dass eine spezifisch auf die Lage der Frauen sich konzentrierende UNO-Berichterstatte rin in den Iran geschickt werden müsse.

  10. OMEDIA – Iran’s Progress Towards Enrichment: Slower than Expected
    Diplomats in the International Atomic Energy Agency: It is unclear whether the delays are technical or due to fears of further sanctions. Iran’s response: The nuclear program continues
    Ran Porat (8/28/2007)
    Diplomats in Vienna, home to the IAEA headquarters, today estimated that Iran seem not to have made much progress this summer in enriching large amounts of uranium. A senior diplomat, who is well informed on the findings of the IAEA inspectors in the uranium enrichment facility at Natanz, could not say for certain whether the delays were for technical reasons or due to Iranian concerns over possible political measures, especially further UN Security Council sanctions.
    With the new IAEA report in mind regarding the Iranian nuclear program to be submitted to the UN Security Council on Wednesday (August 29), the diplomat explained that the Iranians still seem a long way from industrial production of enriched uranium. According to the source and in contrast to Iran’s claims—that it has managed to stabilize 3,000 centrifuges for enriching uranium—it seems that in Natanz there are only 2,000 centrifuges working in cascades of 164 units each

    Political prisoners are being executed in Iran. Iranians are wondering why the US is doing nothing about it

    The writer is an Iranian political activist in exile and the author of Living in Hell
    Last week Mr. Lee H. Hamilton achieved the goal of the diplomatic efforts he has been working so hard on for nearly four months – the release of Ms. Haleh Esfandari from an Iranian prison. As an Iranian and human rights activist, I am both relieved and saddened. Trite as it may be, sometimes the ends do not justify the means. On one hand I am delighted to see an innocent woman, an Iranian-American scholar from the Woodrow Wilson Center, freed without further delay. I was asked to help her and would have gladly done so had I been needed. On the other hand, the price Mr. Hamilton bargained for this release seems very high to me. He went on the MSNBC Nightly News program, hosted by Brian Williams, saying after he wrote a letter to Ayatollah Khamenei, appealing on religious grounds, he received a reply within three and half months and that this was the first time the Ayatollah has responded to such an appeal.

  15. MEMRIBLOG – Senior Iranian Cleric Ayatollah Kashani: Iran’s Justice-Seeking Nature Worries West 

    Tehran substitute Friday prayer leader Ayatollah Mohammad Emami-Kashani told a large crowd of worshippers at Tehran University that Iran’s justice-seeking nature and efforts were the root cause of „antagonistic moves“ against Iran by „the world arrogance, especially the U.S.“
    Kashani underlined Iran’s justice-seeking and spiritual and divine nature, and reiterated that that West was striving to battle these aspects in various ways. He said, „The Islamic Republic of Iran has now turned into a power,“ and „Of course, economic and military might is not the source of this power… Its power comes from that fact that it is a divine system relying on justice-seeking and spirituality. „
    Kashani said that Iran’s power and might was now an established fact prevailing in the world of Islam and even in the West, and stated, „That’s why they strive to destroy the elements of Iran’s power.“
