#1 âIf they [Eurpoeans] keep on behaving like this, it is obvious that our capacity to compromise will decrease and we will act more independently,â Rafsanjani was quoted as saying by the state news agency IRNA.

Is that a threat? Sounds like a threat.

#2 I think there's a misprint here. He must be talking about others' "willingness to compromise."

"Compromise" in Mullah-speak means "we'll do it my way or I'll kill you. And I might kill you anyway."

#4 âthose who stand against us now will have to step back within a couple of months.â

If that statement doesn't say they are working on nukes I don't know what does.

#5 I think he's referring to the radiation released from the Israeli attack
