As the deadline nears, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad refuses to give in to possible UN sanctions. Iran is set to reply Tuesday to an offer by world powers aimed at resolving a nuclear standoff. If they don't accept, the UN will impose sanctions.

According to todays speech given by the Iranian Foreign Minister Manoucher Motakki in Pretoria, South Africa, it appears that they want sanctions. In his address he claims that the UN resolution against Iran is 'discriminatory', and Iran, 'insists on its statutory right to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes'.

The South African Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma said that Iran has a right to Nuclear energy, but must resolve their issues peacefully through the International Atomic Energy Agency.

In a speech given by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Bileh Savar this passed August 16, the president said, 'the Islamic Republic will not give up its right to full nuclear fuel cycle'.

U.S. to say "BOOM!" to Iran.

What a suprise. More weeks wasted in dealing with Iran. Expect another round of diplomacy and another offer and more time wasted.

Surprise!!! Like none of us didn't already know. You know who really is surprised? The schmucks at Foggy Bottom.

"U.S. to say "BOOM!" to Iran."

Nope, the US is going to get really angry. We're going to send a strongly worded letter, stomp our foot, and tap our toes as we wait, arms folded for a response.

THAT will teach them.

Well, a "No" is far better than pretending the pedophile "Mo" is coming back riding on an nuke missile wiping Israel off the map.

They will say 'screw you' to us, and "warn" us that if we apply sanctions they will withdraw from the NPT that they are ignoring anyway.

Of course this will frighten the at least 2 of the EU3 *cough**cough* and give Iran another few months, just like they've bought the past 2 and a half years.

With the recent 'test' the UN failed in Lebanon (a test Iran organized for this purpose)... they have no reason NOT to be confident they can pull it off.

hey durtboy... they're following the same strategy that NK uses, step by step. And the **** at the State Department fall for it hook, line and sinker.
