Syria-Lebanon-Iran
'Israel weaker than ever'
Israel is weaker than ever and its criminal nature is obvious for the world's public opinion, a senior Iranian official says.

The remarks were made during a meeting between the Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Saeed Jalili, and the Leader of the Palestinian movement Islamic Jihad Ramadan Abdullah in Tehran on Wednesday.

Jalili termed the victory of Hamas in its war against Israel as a great victory, which had its roots in "God's assistance and resistance on the part of the Palestinian people and groups."

Ramadan Abdullah for his part, hailed Iran's support for the Palestinians during the Gaza war.

He said Israel's attack on Gaza has shifted public opinion against the Israeli regime.

#2  "Weaker than ever" owing to our new administration.

Maybe Obamacles will move a little of his anti-capitalism "sincerity" over to a hidden anti-fascism brain lobe and stand by Israel.

But I doubt it......

Iran denies Cyprus-docked ship was bringing weapons to Hamas
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman on Wednesday denied reports that a ship detained off Cyprus was carrying Iranian weapons destined for the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip.

Spokesman Hassan Qashqavi said that Cypriot authorities have
inquired about the ship's cargo, but insisted that accusations of weapons on board werebaseless.

Cypriot Foreign Minister Markos Kyprianou said Tuesday that the ship has breached a United Nations ban on Iranian arms exportsm. Cyprus inspected the Monchegorsk twice after it arrived Jan. 29. The U.S. military stopped the ship last month in the Red Sea and said it found artillery shells and other arms on board. But it could not legally detain the ship.

#1  The U.N. responds with the "Pants on fire." taunt, replied to by Iran with "neener, neener, neener."

The U.N. then, unwilling to respond to an implied "Triple Dog Dare," declares the Iranian shipment as Okey-Dokey....

Sheesh................

Iran dismisses report it faces raw uranium shortage
TEHRAN - Iran dismissed on Wednesday a British newspaper report that the Islamic Republic was running short of raw uranium for a nuclear programme the West fears has military aims.
"Lies! All lies!"
The Times said last month Western powers believed Iran was facing a shortfall of raw uranium and were urging producer nations not to sell it to Tehran.
"No, no, certainly not!"
"Such news has been raised by the media with no scientific basis," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hassan Qashqavi told a news conference when asked about the report. "The news has been the product of a few analyses and guesswork and articles."
"Pshaw, we say!"
