OMG, they gonna be forcing us to wear a burka, even the men. :D

[kappy0405]

dude what? Jews and Christians there aren't required to wear Burka. ;)

anyway, yes, propaganda against iran will increase tenfold in 2010. Just recently, the Guardian released an article about how the 5 British hostages taken in 06 were actaully taken by Iran :rolleyes:, and also the "Christmas Scare" being linked to Yemen, where Iran is accused of using Shia rebels as proxy.

It's getting more and more blatant.

[moonflower]

See the British and US Embassies have been closed in Yemen too. Usually that's the first sign an invasion is going to take place. Don't know if the staff have been removed.

Ex-spy chief says Iran government about to collapse
Published: 3/01/2010 at 12:00 AM
Newspaper section: News
A former high-ranking intelligence official in Iran has called for his country to form better relations with the United States and Israel and says the government of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is on the verge of collapse.
In an exclusive interview with the Bangkok Post Sunday, Mohammad Reza Madhi, a former officer in Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards' intelligence service, described Mr Ahmadinejad as ''crazy'' and unfit to lead his country.
''He has already destroyed international relationships with many countries and made them enemies of Iran,'' said Mr Madhi, who was forced to flee Iran in 2008 after being jailed for 73 years on what he described as ''trivial'' charges. ''This has cost the Iranian people so much. His ideas are dangerous.''
Iran's opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi said on Friday he was ready to sacrifice his life in defence of the people's right to protest peacefully against the government after the worst unrest since the disputed June presidential election.

By TIMOTHY J. GERAGHTY

The nagging question of the nuclear age has been what if a madman gets hold of an atomic bomb? That question is about to be answered as Iran's defiance puts it on a collision course with the West.

On Nov. 4, 2009, Israeli commandos intercepted an Antiguan-flagged ship 100 miles off the Israeli coast. It was carrying hundreds of tons of weapons from Iran and bound for Hezbollah in Lebanon. Since the 2006 Israeli-Hezbollah war, Iran has rearmed Hezbollah with 40,000 rockets and missiles that will likely rain on Israeli cities—and even European cities and U.S. military bases in the Middle East—if Iran is attacked. Our 200,000 troops in 33 bases are vulnerable. Shortly before this weapons seizure, Hamas test-fired a missile capable of striking Israel's largest city, Tel Aviv.

Iran is capable of disrupting Persian Gulf shipping lanes, which could cause the price of oil to surge above $300 a barrel. Iran could also create mayhem in oil markets by attacking Saudi oil refineries. Moreover, Iran possesses Soviet made SS-N-22 "Sunburn" supersonic antiship missiles that it could use to contest a naval blockade.

Iran could unleash suicide bombers in Iraq and Afghanistan or, more ominously, activate Hezbollah sleeper cells in the U.S. to carry out coordinated attacks nationwide. FBI, CIA and other U.S. officials have acknowledged in congressional testimony that Hezbollah has a working partnership with Mexican drug cartels and has been using cartel smuggling routes to get personnel and contraband into the U.S.

While Iranian centrifuges continue to produce low-enriched uranium, the mullahs and their henchmen have been carrying out a campaign of deception. In October 2009, Iran rejected a plan to ship its low-enriched uranium out of country, primarily to Russia and France, to be highly enriched and then sent back to Iran for "peaceful medical purposes."

On Nov. 28, 2009, reacting to increased pressure from the International Atomic Energy Agency, Iran warned it may pull out of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. This would seriously undermine international attempts to stop Iran's nuclear weapons program. Two days later, Iran announced plans to build 10 new nuclear plants within six years.

In another sphere, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez are openly cooperating to "oppose world hegemony," as Mr. Ahmadinejad has said, while weekly flights between Iran and Venezuela are not monitored for personnel and cargo. Meanwhile, Russia is building an arms plant in Venezuela to produce AK-103 automatic rifles and finalizing contracts to send 53 military helicopters to the country.

I have seen this play before. In 1983, I was the Marine commander of the U.S. Multinational Peacekeeping Force in Beirut, Lebanon. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' (IRGC) Lebanon contingent trained and equipped Hezbollah to execute attacks that killed 241 of my men and 58 French Peacekeepers on Oct. 23, 1983.

Today, Hezbollah directly threatens Israel, destabilizes Lebanon, and undercuts the Israeli-Palestinian peace accords. Something similar is underway in Venezuela. Remember Hezbollah used the Beirut truck-bomb model for the attack on the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires on March 17, 1992 and the July 18, 1994 attack on the Argentine Israeli Mutual Association that killed 85 and wounded 200.

The man directly responsible for those bombings was the commander of the IRGC's Quds Force, Gen. Ahmad Vahidi. He is listed on Interpol's most wanted list and was a key operative in the 1983 attacks on peacekeepers in Lebanon. In August 2009, he was named Iran's minister of defense. He succeeded Gen. Mostafa Mohammad Najjar, who was the commander of the IRGC Lebanon contingent and the chief organizer of the 1983 Beirut bombings. Both have Beirut peacekeepers' blood on their hands and are the same key leaders who today are orchestrating Iranian deception and defiance as they march lock-step toward their ultimate goal—nuclear weapons.

Baidu hacked by 'Iranian cyber army'

Hacked Baidu site
Visitors to the site were greeted with this message

China's most popular search engine, Baidu, has been targeted by the same hackers that took Twitter offline in December, according to reports.

A group claiming to be the Iranian Cyber Army redirected Baidu users to a site displaying a political message.

The site was down for at least four hours on Tuesday, Chinese media said.

Last year's attack on micro-blogging service Twitter had the same hallmarks, sending users to a page with an Iranian flag and message in Farsi.

"This morning, Baidu's domain name registration in the United States was tampered with, leading to inaccessibility," Baidu said in a statement.

Visitors to the site were greeted with the message: "This site has been hacked by Iranian Cyber Army".

The message was accompanied by a picture of the national flag of Iran.

Here are three conflicting articles about Iran in today's news papers

Russia regrets lack of Iran deal

Russia regrets Iran seems to have rejected a UN brokered proposal from world powers to enrich uranium abroad, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said today.

"We regret that Iran, by all appearances, does not consider it possible to agree to the formula it was offered as regards the production of fuel for the Tehran research reactor," Mr Lavrov told reporters.

"We are convinced that it is imperative to make additional efforts, both on this concrete issue and, more broadly, on the question of renewing talks on resolving all aspects of the Iranian nuclear programme," he said.

Lavrov said the United Nations Security Council could discuss new sanctions against Iran, but did not say whether Russia would support them.

"Yes, of course the Security Council can consider additional measures," Mr Lavrov said.

"But we hope that all those upon whom possible future decisions depend will be guided exclusively by the interests of the non-proliferation regime . . . and not any other agendas."

Iran has notified the UN nuclear watchdog that it rejects key parts of a draft deal to send abroad most of its enriched uranium, diplomats told Reuters this week.

2nd story http://www.spacewar.com/reports/Iran_denies_rejecting_UN_nuclear_swap_offer_999.ht ml

by Staff Writers
Tehran (AFP) Jan 21, 2010
Iran has not rejected a UN-brokered offer to exchange enriched nuclear fuel
but it wants a staged swap rather than a wholesale handover of most of its stockpile, foreign ministry officials said in comments published Thursday.

"Iran did not reject the principle of the exchange (of nuclear fuel)," Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki was quoted as saying by the Mehr news agency.

His denial followed charges by Western diplomats that Iran had effectively rejected a proposal put forward by six major powers in talks in Vienna brokered by the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN's nuclear watchdog.

"Our position has not changed from what we already expressed in the past -- we are ready for a gradual exchange of fuel," Mehr quoted foreign ministry spokesman, Ramin Mehmanparast, as saying.

But his comments suggested that Iran remains at odds over the proposals with the six powers -- Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States.

The IAEA plan calls on Iran to hand over most of its stocks of low-enriched uranium in return for the phased supply by France and Russia of nuclear fuel enriched to the higher level required for a Tehran research reactor.

Iran insists it will only hand over its stocks gradually as it receives the fuel.

Western diplomats in Vienna said on Wednesday that Iran's insistence on a phased exchange effectively amounted to a rejection of the IAEA offer.

Western governments regard Iran's prior handover of most of its stocks of low-enriched uranium as a central plank of the deal as it will provide reassurance that the stockpiles will not be covertly enriched further to the much higher level required for a nuclear weapon.

Iran has always denied any such ambition, insisting that its nuclear programme is for civilian programmes only.

But the IAEA said talks on its plan were still continuing, and that the offer to Iran remained on the table.

The proposal, made last October, "which was supported by France, Russia and the United States, continues to be on the table," said the watchdog's spokeswoman, Gill Tudor.

"The IAEA is not in a position to discuss the views of the parties involved, but it is aware that they are considering the best solution," Tudor added.

A Western diplomat in Vienna told AFP that Iran had effectively given a formal response at a meeting between its ambassador Ali Asghar Soltanieh and the IAEA's new new chief Yukiya Amano earlier this month.

According to the diplomat, Soltanieh had verbally reiterated the Islamic republic's earlier position, including the insistence on a gradual swap.

The IAEA refused to say whether the meeting took place or discuss its possible content.

Another diplomat said it was unclear whether Iran had actually delivered a written response. But "certainly there was no agreement to the TRR (Tehran research reactor) proposal," the diplomat said.

After the proposal was delivered to Iran in October, the powers gave it until the turn of the year to accept the deal but the deadline was ignored, prompting talk of fresh sanctions.

In Washington on Tuesday, US State Department spokesman Philip Crowley said: "I am not sure that they have delivered a formal response, but it is clearly an inadequate response."

On January 5, Iran repeated its counter-proposal for a phased fuel swap, but left the "details" open to discussion.

Mottaki has insisted that Tehran in fact has until the end of January to reach a uranium swap deal, stressing it will press on with plans to enrich nuclear fuel to a higher level itself if there is no agreement.

Mottaki gave the West a one-month "ultimatum" to accept the Iranian counter-proposal.

Iran is already under three sets of sanactions over its refusal to heed repeated UN Security Council ultimatums to suspend enrichment.

The sensitive process lies at the heart of Western fears over Iran's nuclear programme as it can produce the fuel for nuclear reactors or in highly extended form the fissile core of an atomic bomb.

Six powers count on unity to check Iran nuclear ambitions
Washington (AFP) Jan 20, 2010 - Six international powers are counting on unity to check Iran's nuclear ambitions, according to a European diplomat who expects China to drop its opposition to new sanctions for fear of isolation.

As Iran balks at a confidence-building proposal, the five permanent members of the UN Security Council -- the United States, Russia, China, France, and Britain -- plus Germany are increasingly weighing sanctions.

The negotiating group, known as the P5-plus-1, looks likely to head back to the United Nations.

"The unity of the P5-plus-1 is our major asset, our major aim," a high-ranking European diplomat said on the condition of anonymity.

"I'm not saying it's easy, but I'm confident we'll get to the Security Council," according to the diplomat who is close to the talks on Iran.

The P5-plus-1 has been reaching out to Iran in a bid to force the regime to halt its uranium enrichment.

But Iran has long equivocated in response to an offer from the Vienna-based UN International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to ship abroad low-grade nuclear fuel so it can be further enriched and returned to refuel a Tehran medical research reactor.

In Vienna, diplomats said Wednesday the Islamic Republic had effectively rejected the deal because it refused to accept some of the conditions called for by the West and insisted on a simultaneous exchange of fuel.

Western countries have ruled out such an exchange as unacceptable.

The proposal made by the IAEA last October, "which was supported by France, Russia and the United States, continues to be on the table," said IAEA spokeswoman, Gill Tudor.

The proposal is designed to buy breathing room as the big powers try to halt Iran's uranium enrichment -- which the West fears masks a drive to build a nuclear bomb.

Denying the charge, Iran says it seeks peaceful uses of nuclear energy.

The diplomat said the Europeans have never really believed that Iran would accept the IAEA offer.

However, they were convinced that this stage of dialogue was necessary to reinforce the threat of new sanctions, something Western powers increasingly support.

China, which has economic links with hardline Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, favors continued dialogue, but it also wants to avoid international isolation, the diplomat said.

"It's difficult when you share a statement... and when everybody agrees on that, to remain isolated. You just cannot stand this position for too long," the senior diplomat said.

Beijing is under all the more pressure, he added, as Russia is now on the same wavelength as the West.

"The Russians have changed their attitude... They are very helpful. They changed after the unveiling of the second site in Qom," the diplomat said.

The United States and other powers forced Iran to come clean in September on a second uranium enrichment site buried in a mountain near the holy city of Qom.

The tightening of ranks among the six powers has already produced results, the diplomat said, citing a unanimous vote by the negotiating group members for an IAEA resolution condemning Iran last November.

The United States and its European allies are hoping that the six powers will be in a position to present a new UN resolution in February.

The Security Council will be chaired then by France, before passing to Gabon in March, then Japan in April. It will then be involved in the review of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty in May.

The Western powers refuse meanwhile to discuss a hard-and-fast deadline for their efforts, aware that convincing Beijing to join them will take time.

In the event of failure, and as the impasse with Tehran lasts for months, the Europeans may end up by having to "take their responsibilities," in other words impose sanctions of their own, the diplomat said.

The idea is one being weighed on both sides of the Atlantic.

"We continue our conversations in terms of options that are available to us, both in terms of the Security Council going forward but also steps that can be taken in a coordinated way on a national basis," State Department spokesman Philip Crowley said Tuesday.

probably something to do with highlight querystring getting parsed on the server, causing it to wrap each instance of the value in a span with the css class "highlight". The highlight class appears to give the text it's green color.

For example, append the URL with &highlight=my%20penis%is%20green.
