“The government and the people of Iran will always stand by the Palestinian resistance and the Palestinian people.”

Meanwhile, Iranian police have surrounded protesting students in Tehran University, and it remains to be seen how many of these students will be imprisoned, murdered, tortured and raped.

Where are the outraged voices of the left? Let's see if Roger ("Iran is not totalitarian") Cohen wishes to comment on this siege.

And where is Obama, who has refused to offer even moral support to Iran's dissidents and who continues to draw lines in the sand, daring the Iranians not to pursue their nuclear armament ambitions? Although Tehran has long claimed that its intentions involving nuclear development solely involve future energy requirements, The Times (U.K.) now reports:

"Confidential intelligence documents obtained by The Times show that Iran is working on testing a key final component of a nuclear bomb.

The notes, from Iran’s most sensitive military nuclear project, describe a four-year plan to test a neutron initiator, the component of a nuclear bomb that triggers an explosion. Foreign intelligence agencies date them to early 2007, four years after Iran was thought to have suspended its weapons programme.

. . . .

The technical document describes the use of a neutron source, uranium deuteride, which independent experts confirm has no possible civilian or military use other than in a nuclear weapon. Uranium deuteride is the material used in Pakistan’s bomb, from where Iran obtained its blueprint."
