  1. FORBES – Austrian PM rejects reports German govt intervened against OMV’s Iran dealings
    VIENNA (Thomson Financial) – German chancellor Angela Merkel has not intervened with the Austrian government to protest OMV AG’s pursuit of business dealings with Iran, Austrian chancellor Alfred Gusenbauer said in an interview with the Viennese daily Der Standard.
    Gusenbauer said that German and Israeli media reports that such an intervention occurred were ‚complete nonsense and misinformation‘ and added that Merkel did not discuss the issue with him.
    According to Gusenbauer, the Austrian government will not exercise any influence on OMV with regard to its dealings with Iran other than to ensure the company complies with all relevant laws and UN resolutions.

  2. THE JERUSALEM POST – Berlin parley warns against ‚appeasing‘ Iran
    Benjamin Weinthal , THE JERUSALEM POST  Jan. 28, 2008
    While German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Germany’s Federal Parliament commemorated the victims of the Nazi regime on Holocaust Remembrance Day, and an expert international forum debated ways of combating anti-Semitism, a non-governmental German organization shone an uncomfortable spotlight on German-Iranian relations during a two-day conference last weekend at Humboldt University in Berlin entitled „The West and the Iranian War Against Israel.“
    The Coalition Against Appeasement argues that Germany in particular, and Europe in general, are contributing to a dangerously „cooperative approach to the mullahs“ at the expense of the security of Israel and the entire Middle East.
    „We want to make a point that Iran remains a threat. Iran has already set in motion its war against Israel and the West through its support for Hamas and Hizbullah. The publication of the National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) report does not diminish the threat,“ Tobias Ebbrecht, a spokesman for the coalition, told The Jerusalem Post.

  3. MORGENPOST – Kritik an Peymanns Iran-Gastspiel
    Demonstranten haben im Berliner Ensemble (BE) das geplante Gastspiel des von Claus Peymann geleiteten Hauses im Iran kritisiert. Mit der Reise werde ein antisemitisches Regime unterstützt. Am 11. Februar will das Ensemble in Teheran Brechts Stück „Mutter Courage und Ihre Kinder“ aufführen. Eine Sprecherin des BE sagte, dass die geplante Aufführung „ein Zeichen der Solidarität mit den Künstlern im Iran“ sei.

    1. lizaswelt – Brechts Erben bei den Mullahs
      Das Berliner Ensemble wird ab dem 11. Februar an drei aufeinander folgenden Abenden Bertolt Brechts Stück Mutter Courage und ihre Kinder bei einem Theaterfestival im Iran aufführen. Der Intendant der Hauptstadtbühne, Claus Peymann, will dieses Unternehmen als Zeichen gegen die vermeintlichen Kriegspläne der USA verstanden wissen: „Man sollte Teheran besuchen, bevor es zerbombt ist.“ Etwa 50 Demonstranten protestierten am vergangenen Samstag gegen das anstehende Gastspiel bei den Mullahs: Sie verteilten Flugblätter im Theater am Schiffbauerdamm, der Spielstätte des Ensembles.
      Man kann wohl davon ausgehen, dass Peymann (Foto) und seine Truppe nach ihrem Auftritt ein ähnlich zufriedenes Resümee ziehen werden wie die Osnabrücker Symphoniker, die im vergangenen Sommer ebenfalls in der iranischen Kapitale auftraten: „Ich schaue in die erste Reihe. Dort sitzen die kulturellen Vertreter des Landes. Sie haben ein Lächeln im Gesicht“, schrieb einer ihrer Musiker in seinem „Teheraner Tagebuch“, das seinerzeit täglich in der Neuen Osnabrücker Zeitung erschien. „Wir spüren, wie sehr Musik in der Lage ist, die Herzen der Menschen zu erreichen. Wir feiern bis drei Uhr früh. Das Osnabrücker Symphonieorchester ist jetzt vielleicht das glücklichste Orchester der Welt.“ Sie strahlten damals mit den Repräsentanten des iranischen Regimes um die Wette, die Kulturschaffenden aus der niedersächsischen Friedensstadt, denen nicht nur kein Sterbenswörtchen der Kritik an den Mullahs über die Lippen kam, sondern die im Gegenteil noch peinlich genau darauf achteten, dass die Kopftücher ihrer Musikerinnen nur ja akkurat sitzen.

    3. Reuters – Iran offers to help Egypt deal with chaos at Gaza Strip border
      Iran on Sunday offered to help Egypt deal with growing chaos on its breached border with Gaza, Egypt’s Foreign Ministry said.
      The offer came during a rare visit to Cairo by a top Iranian diplomat, Ali Asghar Mohammadi, who serves as the Iranian Foreign Ministry’s
      director-general for Arab, Middle East and North African affairs. He met
      Sunday with Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit.
      Egypt and Iran have had no formal ties in nearly three decades, but government ministers from the two countries have met frequently in the past two months. Last week, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad telephoned his Egyptian counterpart, Hosni Mubarak, for the first time to discuss the Gaza border crisis.

  4. ACHGUT – Appeasements hoher Preis: Iran und die Destabilisierung Ägyptens
    Dr. Benny Peiser       25.01.2008   18:55   +Feedback
    It has been an uncomfortable few days for President Husni Mubarak, watching anxiously as the crisis in Gaza spilled over onto his territory, focusing intense and unwelcome attention – both at home and abroad – on Egypt’s role in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. In Egypt, as elsewhere, all politics is ultimately local, and one serious problem for Mubarak is the link between the Brotherhood and Hamas, the Palestinian Islamist movement that won the 2006 elections and has been running Gaza since last summer’s coup, while keeping up (or failing to stop) daily salvoes of Qassam rockets being fired across the border into Israel.

  5. AFP – Israel urges Davos business chiefs to boycott Iran
    DAVOS —Israel Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni appealed to the global political and business elite gathered in Davos on Thursday to make the personal decision to pull out of Iran and isolate the Islamic republic.
    „Iran is a global threat. And Iran can be stopped by you. You can make the change,“ Livni told the corporate chiefs and politicians attending the World Economic Forum.
    „Tremendous power is gathered in this room. The importance of wealth is not only to mingle and engage in social interaction, but for policy making,“ she said.
    Arguing that Iran’s nuclear ambitions threatened „the entire global community,“ she appealed to the delegates‘ personal sense of responsibility.

  6. jnewswire – Israeli military leader – Iran building nuclear warheads – By Stan Goodenough
    While the world, thanks to a US intelligence assessment, is slacking its efforts to pressure Iran into ending its pursuit of nuclear power, Israeli Defense Minister and former Prime Minister Ehud Barak believes that Tehran is „probably already working on nuclear warheads for ground-to-ground missiles“ that can reach not only Israeli but also European, and even American, targets.
    The Iranian program was „quite advanced, much beyond the level of the Manhattan Project“ Barak said in an interview published Saturday in the Washington Post.

  15. OMEDIA – America’s Deadly Tango with Iran
    Unless we in the West (the U.S. State Department included) continue to keep applying serious pressure on all fronts against the Tehran mullocracy, the IRI will continue on the offensive.
    Professor Rabbi Daniel M. Zucker (1/25/2008)
    In the convoluted world of Middle East politics and diplomacy, the American relationship with the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) remains one of the most difficult to fathom. However, of late, the dense fog that emanates from the Persian Gulf and also swirls so frequently along the shores of the Potomac River that the area is known locally as „Foggy Bottom“—that veil of fog has lifted, and for once a relatively clear view is possible for those willing to look. Islamic Iran’s policies on the ground, particularly in Iraq, are directly related to America’s own forcefulness or timidity towards the mullah regime. It has been noted that the Iranian supply of the EFPs (Explosively Formed Penetrators) that have been so deadly to Multi-Force troops (and have been the single largest cause of fatalities for Coalition troops) dropped in the final several months of 2007.[1] However, General David H. Petraeus reports that during the first two weeks of 2008, the trend has reversed and Iranian supply of EFPs is definitely once again significantly on the rise.

  16. MEMRI IRANIAN MEDIA BLOG – Kayhan Editor Close To Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei: ‚America and Its European Supporters Must Know… That the Price of Supporting [Israel] Will Cost Them the Property and Lives of Their Citizens… If the Heads of Some Islamic States Prevent the Muslim Peoples from Attacking the Zionists… They Can Be Toppled‘
    In a January 26 op-ed in the Iranian daily Kayhan, the paper’s editor, Hossein Shariatmadari, who is close to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, called on Muslims to unite in a retaliatory attack on American, European, and Israeli „sensitive centers“ because of „the war crimes that these countries are committing in the Gaza Strip“ and because of their support for Israel.
    In his op-ed, Shar’iatmadari stressed that American and European civilians must be harmed in these attacks, so as to make the U.S. and the European countries change their policy towards Israel. He further called for harming Israelis worldwide, and explained that Islamic regimes that prevent an Islamic attack on Israel must be toppled, because they are defending the enemy.
    Following are excerpts from Sharatmadari’s op-ed, which was titled „The Defenders of the Enemy“:
