Iran just turned a U.N. Nuclear Inspection Team away from their nuclear enrichment site, and the word from a CNN reporter in tehran says that Iran is expected to make their decision about continuing its nuclear program as early as 1000 this morning.
The U.N. has offered an incentive package to entice iran to give up its nuclear program; however, Iran has given absolutely NO indication that it has considered such a move at all! In fact, Iran has continuously declared defiantly that it will NOT give up its right not only for nuclear power but for acquiring/making its own nuclear weapons!
Iran has also viewed the pathetic cowardice - its lack of desire/ability to deal forcefully in the 2001 or latest Israel-Hezbollah conflict as a 'Green light' to go ahead with its nuclear aspirations! Strength is power in that part of the country, and Iran views the U.N.and the majority of the nations that make it up as pathetically weak and unwilling to stop them! They see the U.S. , the U.K. and Israel as the only ones strong enough and - more importantly - willing to stand in their way, which is why they hate us so! They will continue to create nuclear weapons because they know the U.N. has neither the resolve or courage to do anything at all and that if we choose to do anything militarily on our own again so soon after Iraq, which is almost physically impossible, we will REALLY alienate ourselves from the rest of the world.
Iran also knows that if it shuts off its oil pumps in retaliation for any U.N. sanctions, oil prices will soar up to $110 a barrel, the whole world will be affected negatively,.....and we just set the U.N., France, russia, and others up for more criminal activity like more Black marketing and another Oil-for-Cash scandals, as iran has surely seen how easily the U.N. can be bought!
