As evidence mounts of Iran’s nefarious nuclear intentions, one wonders how many times this must be said: “Every passing day brings Iran’s totalitarian regime closer to building the bomb,” for people to start believing it. Back in 2006, I had reported on this very topic at the Western Standard, The Devil’s Advocate.
VIENNA — Iran’s recently revealed uranium enrichment hall is a highly fortified underground space that is a year away from completion after fitful construction that first started seven years ago, diplomats told The Associated Press on Thursday.
The diplomats …

It seemed fitting with the news coming out of Iran to revisit this article I wrote back in 2006 at the Western Standard. Are we headed for another round of failed diplomacy?
Iran’s democrats are furious that former U.S. attorney general Ramsey Clark is protecting the mullahcracy he helped install
Every passing day brings Iran’s totalitarian regime closer to building the bomb. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad recently announced that Iran “has joined the club of nuclear countries.” In February, Britain’s Telegraph reported that Tehran’s mullahs had issued a fatwa “sanctioning the use …

Today, on this day when the memorial service was held at Fort Hood for the 13 victims who were murdered by suspected terrorist, Major Malik Nidal Hasan, we learn this:

His activities at the time attracted the interest of “one of their Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs).” Hasan was communicating with the subject of an unrelated investigation by the JTTF team.
They stated that a review …

The headine for this article from the Tehran Times is slightly misleading if you thought Ayatollah Moqtadae, the Iranian cleric, was referring to extremism against all non-Muslims and Westerners. He meant extremist groups that regard Shias as infidels.
It’s worth noting that Ayatollah Khomeini again called on all Muslims to “unite against the enemy.” The enemy of course is the Great Satan – America et al.
TEHRAN – The director of Iran’s seminaries, Ayatollah Moqtadae, has called on Muslims to denounce extremist groups that regard Shias as infidels and call for …

Tehran – Iran is refusing to send its low-enriched uranium abroad for further processing, the influential head of parliament’s national security and foreign policy committee was quoted as saying on Saturday.
