Iran: Russia And China Are Bought And Paid For

Let’s get back to some business at hand. As riotous as the Jyllands-Posten cartoons have been and as secretive as the UAE port deal has been and as the media mourns the good health of Harry Whittington; Iran has been ramping up their nuke production.

Strategypage points out what we’ve all missed lately:

February 28, 2006: Production of nuclear material has started, the UN knows about it, and Iran doesn’t care…Iran appears pretty confident that China and Russia will provide diplomatic support if the UN tries to stop Iranian nuclear weapons developments via sanctions.

February 27, 2006: In the southwest, where most of Iran’s oil, and Arabs, are found, two bombs went off in government offices. There were four injuries. These bombings have been going on since last Summer. The government blames foreign instigators.

February 26, 2006: Trade between Iran and Russia reached $2 billion in 2005, and may double this year.

February 25, 2006: A [German] investigation revealed that Iran was looking for a long list of forbidden technologies, including those related to ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons.

Russia will launch an Iranian communications satellite (called Zohre, or Venus) next year. This joint satellite development project was started last year.

The above list only contains the highlights, visit Strategypage for the full article.
