ARON HELLER JERUSALEM (AP) - Iran has received a first batch of BM-25 surface-to-surface missiles that put some central European countries within firing range, Israel's military intelligence chief was quoted as saying Thursday.
The missiles, purchased from North Korea, have a range of 2,500 kilometres and are capable of carrying nuclear warheads, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported. Comment: From the same intelligence services that brought you Saddam's weapons of mass destruction, we are now hearing that Iran can attack Europe. Of course, these "sources" can't be identified because then one day, much later, comeone might actually hold them accountable for their lies.
Well, not really. Imagine what would have to change in the world for the war criminals in Israel and the US to be held accountable for their lies.... |

PAUL AMES SOFIA, Bulgaria (CP) - Iran's nuclear standoff with the West is expected to dominate talks Thursday between foreign ministers from NATO and European Union countries on the eve of a UN deadline for Tehran to halt uranium enrichment.
The Iran question is not on NATO's official agenda and the alliance's spokesman, James Appathurai, stressed "NATO does not have a formal role to play" in the debate. However the issue will be discussed at an informal dinner bringing together NATO and EU countries on the sidelines of the regular spring gathering of NATO foreign ministers. Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay will take part in the meeting. |

Knight Ridder 26/04/2006 Asian giant trying not to anger U.S., maintain business tie to neighbor
MOSCOW - Russia is standing on a small and shrinking patch of middle ground as it tries to protect its huge business relationship with Iran while seeking a diplomatic resolution for U.S. and European concerns that Iran has a secret nuclear-weapons program. Russia opposes the spread of nuclear weapons, but it's building Iran its first nuclear-power plant and this year plans to deliver 29 short-range antiaircraft missiles to the Iranian government, all over U.S. objections. The Kremlin sees no harm in its delicate and, some say, dangerous position of cooperating with Iran on civilian nuclear energy and supplying it with defensive weapons. But tougher choices face Russia if no negotiated breakthrough is found to ease concerns that an increasingly defiant Iran is trying to acquire nuclear weapons under cover of its nuclear energy program. |
