It's been sundown since 11:16am EDT Nothing. Midnight since 4:30pm EDT Nothing.
The new moon over Tehran at 7:45pm EDT.
I suspect nothing will happen, as usual.

If Sinbad's coming to get us, I hope it's the Harryhausen one, not Douglas Fairbanks. It might be fun fighting off stop-motion monsters . . . |
August 22 is Cindy Williams' birthday. They must Shirley be serious.
Ahmanutjob is on his flying horsey as we speak, hot-hoofing it to Jerusalem. Look - he's already reached the opposite corner of his padded cell, and now he's on his way back. Go Mahmoud Go!
Iran announces its Arak heavy water plant will soon be operational
The announcement came from Dep Dir of Iran’s nuclear program Mohammad Saidi hours before Tehran’s promised response to the world powers’ incentive package for halting uranium enrichment. According to an unnamed source in Vienna talking to AKI, new centrifuges have been installed at the Natanz uranium enrichment facility over the past week. The Arak plant could produce plutonium for nuclear bombs by an alternative method to the uranium enrichment process
After all this build-up, it's going to be a big let-down if nothing in particular happens.
Let's face it, we're just itching for Iran to do something crazy so we can get some clarity on military action.
The Iranians are too cunning for that, I suspect. My guess is that today we'll get more of the same balancing act - no preconditions on talks, but uranium enrichment is still up for negotiation. In other words, exactly the position that will make getting a sanctions regime through the security council virtually impossible. Especially since uranium enrichment for energy purposes is legal under the NPT. It's a real bind.
I could be wrong, of course. It's been known to happen.
Has the Mahdi started climbing out of the well yet?
