I doubt anything will come of this; it’s really more of Iran’s public relations war against Israel.  If they can convince the world that Israeli’s are criminals unjustly bullying Hamas, then nobody will care when Iran finally nukes Tel Aviv…sadly.

An Iranian military commander called on Islamic countries to cut oil exports to Israel’s supporters in response to the Jewish state’s offensive in Gaza, the official IRNA news agency reported on Sunday.

This is excellent news for Canada; It’s where both the U.S. and Israel get most of their oil.  Maybe the rest of the gang will jump on the northern bandwagon?

U.S. President George W. Bush reiterated his pledge that the United States will not allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons in a wide ranging speech on the Middle East Friday.

You know, one of the things I’ve respected about Bush is his support of Israel (though his desire to form a Palestinian State during his administration often clouded his judgement).  However, does his word really matter now?  He’s out of office in a month, so what really matters right now is the next guy’s stance on Iran’s nuclear aspirations.

Fresh links between Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and al-Qaeda have been uncovered following interception of a letter from the terrorist leadership that hails Tehran’s support for a recent attack on the American embassy in Yemen, which killed 16 people.

Well, now we get to see if Iran was telling the truth about using nuclear energy for fuel, or if they’ll try to “wipe Israel off the map.”  I’m hoping for the former, but expect the latter.

The powers-that-be in Iran also congratulated Obama, but mark my words, this issue will lay relatively dormant until sometime after January 20th, and then the guy who wanted to talk with Iran will have to decide what to do with them as an aggressor.

There you have it; my first prediction for President Obama’s first 100 days.

Considering that the current Ayatollah is also an Israel hater, this won’t exactly fix anything regarding Israeli-Iranian relations. All that really happens is Iran loses a big mouth-piece, the world assumes everything is fine as a result, and Israel stands alone against Iran and its proxies.

Eight months after he was assassinated in a meticulously-planned car bombing in Damascus, Hizbullah arch-terrorist Imad Mughniyeh has been succeeded by a senior Iranian intelligence official, an Italian newspaper reported Thursday, indicating an Iranian determination to consolidate its control over the Lebanese group.

I guess it’s so well-known that Hizb’Allah is an Iranian proxy that nobody is pretending otherwise anymore.

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Tuesday he received assurances that Russia would not allow Israel’s security to be threatened, but offered no indication he had won the concrete promises he sought on Russian arms sales or sanctions on Iran.

And Olmert actually believed them! *snicker*
