Iran Update

Iran is doing it’s very best to tick off the entire world with their nuclear program. Today, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi confirmed that Iran would offer on Tuesday a "multifaceted response" to a Western package of incentives aimed at persuading Tehran to suspend enrichment activities, but insisted it would not cease enriching uranium altogether.

The United Nations could not have expected any other response from a country presently ran by lunatics other than “Blow it out your nose.” In all honesty, they could care less, what the United Nations does, in fact a recent quote only leads credence to that comment’ “

"If sanctions are imposed ... it will be easy (for us) to cope with it."Hamid Reza AsefiIranian Foreign Ministry spokesman

To remind everyone, the U.N. Security Council resolution passed last month gives Tehran until Aug. 31st to freeze uranium enrichment or face political and economic sanctions. Iran has repeatedly stated it would ignore it and this came as no surprise to anyone watching the events as they unfold.

One of the primary problems facing the United Nations is for all practical intent, helpless and without teeth to do anything to Iran that would matter and Iran is well aware of that fact.

The world will just have to wait and see, but one thing is for certain, it will not feel any safer knowing that the insanity running through the government of Iran has its collective finger on a possible button.
