      Düsseldorf  — Trotz des politischen Drucks im Atomstreit mit Teheran sind die deutschen Importe aus dem Iran im vergangenen Jahr um fast 50 Prozent gestiegen. Wie das „Handelsblatt“ unter Berufung auf die Bundesagentur für Außenwirtschaft berichtete, beliefen sich die Einfuhren aus dem Iran im Jahr 2007 auf rund 580 Millionen Euro.

    2. HANDELSBLATT – Wirtschaft kritisiert Sanktionen / Deutsche Iran-Importe steigen
      Seit Monaten wirbt die Bundesregierung wegen des ungelösten Atomstreits und amerikanischen Drucks um Zurückhaltung der Wirtschaft im Iran-Geschäft. Doch im bilateralen Handel zeigt sich nun eine überraschende Entwicklung.
      BERLIN. Von der Bundesagentur für Außenwirtschaft erfuhr das Handelsblatt, dass die deutschen Exporte im Jahr 2007 zwar tatsächlich zum zweiten Mal in Folge zurückgegangen sind. Aber gleichzeitig stiegen die Importe aus Iran im vergangenen Jahr um fast 50 Prozent – wenn auch auf geringem Niveau.
      Danach beliefen sich die Importe aus Iran im vergangenen Jahr auf rund 580 Millionen Euro. Die Exporte sanken dagegen um 15 Prozent auf rund 3,5 Milliarden Euro. Die steigenden Einfuhren dürften auch die Bundesregierung in Erklärungsnöte bringen. Denn vor allem die USA und Israel fordern von Berlin seit langem, den deutschen Handel mit Iran insgesamt herunterzufahren, bis Teheran im Atomstreit eingelenkt hat.

  9. FNA – Iran Seeking Membership in UNSC
    TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran seeks to become a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Seyed Mohammad Ali Hosseini said.
    Speaking to reporters during his weekly press conference here on Sunday, Hosseini said that Tehran has applied for candidacy for the years 2009 and 2010, and pointed out that a similar demand has been raised by another country. 
    Iran’s request for membership in the Security Council should be put to vote at the next meeting of the UN General Assembly.

  11. ATIMES Dolphins: Iran’s weapon against the US?
    By Kaveh L Afrasiabi
    The Pentagon, which has in the past tried to place its naval operations above US laws, has suffered a court reversal that is bound to have repercussions well beyond the California coast and impact the US Navy’s global operations.
    A federal judge in Los Angeles has imposed rigid limits on the navy’s use of mid-frequency sonar off the coast of southern California. The sonar is suspected of causing disruption to whale and dolphin navigation systems.
    The ruling, in response to a case brought by environmentalists, bans sonar within 12 nautical miles of the California coast, increases the navy’s „shut down“ zone for sonar use near marine mammals, and mandates the navy monitor for marine mammals one hour prior to sonar exercises as well as during them.

  13. STRATEGIPAGE No One Is In Charge In Iran
    January 7, 2008:  Who runs Iran? No one in particular, it turns out. Over the past two years, the senior cleric, Ali Khamenei, has tried to solve the corruption problem by ordering most state owned companies to be privatized (sold off to investors). Khamenei, who has enormous civil and religious power, was ignored. How did that happen? It’s all about money.
    About ten million of Iran’s 70 million people live off the third of the economy that is, technically, owned by the state. These are properties that were seized from the royal family and royalist families 25 years ago. These firms are controlled by the clergy and their Islamic conservative allies. This includes the oil industry, which earns over $80 billion a year. Most of that goes to finance a huge bureaucracy, whose main goal is to keep the clerics in power. State owned companies that are losing money, are kept afloat with oil revenues. Education, health and infrastructure spending all take second place to keeping the clerics in power.  Khamenei’s order to sell the state firms, finally made publicly over national television, was ignored because all the corrupt clerics knew that the most important thing was not curbing corruption, but keeping the clergy in power.

  20. MEMRI IRANIAN MEDIA BLOG IRGC: U.S. Navy Video, Audio „Fabricated“; Iranian FM: Claims Of Iranian Speedboat Threats „Propaganda“ Connected To Bush Middle East Visit
     
    Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said today that the U.S. video of the January 5 incident in the Strait of Hormuz involving Iranian patrol boats and U.S. warships was archive footage and that the audio was faked.
    An IRGC navy commander told Press TV that in the matter of Washington’s claims that IRGC speedboats had harassed three U.S. Navy warships, „the footage released by the U.S. navy are file pictures and the audio has been fabricated.“
    Meanwhile, Iranian Defense Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar dismissed as propaganda the U.S. Navy claim that the Iranian craft had threatened to blow up the U.S. warships, saying that the Iranian navy’s monitoring of ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz is a routine task.
    Najjar also called depicting this normal procedure as a provocation a „project“ by the White House to portray Iran as a frightening country, and connected it to President Bush’s visit to the region.
    Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad-Ali Hosseini also played down the incident, saying it was an issue of mistaken identity and comparing it to „previous ones“ that had been resolved „once the two sides recognized each other,“ Hosseini explained.
    Iranian Foreign Ministry director of American affairs Ahmad Sobhani said that the Iranian speed boats had carried out a normal and legal act.
    On Tuesday, Majlis Speaker Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel had described U.S. reports about the incident as „part of a psychological and propaganda campaign against the Islamic Republic“ (see
    Iranian Parliamentary Speaker: Persian Gulf Incident „U.S. Propaganda Against Iran„).
