“Timely Reminder of Iranian Support for Terrorism”

By Matthew Levitt and Michael Jacobson
February 22, 2008

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Over the past several years, Iran’s nuclear activities have commanded the attention of the international community. But the recent assassination of Hizballah foreign operations chief Imad Mughniyeh is a reminder that Iran has been — and continues to be — a key player in global terrorism, as its explicit sponsorship of Hizballah, Hamas, and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) demonstrates. Moreover, a recent terrorism case in Bahrain suggests that Iran’s assistance to al-Qaeda operatives may still be continuing today, echoing the regime’s implicit support of the group in the past.

Longstanding Support for Terrorism”

“Iran nuclear plans of ‘serious concern’: U.N. body”
By Mark Heinrich
1 hour, 34 minutes ago

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “VIENNA (Reuters) - The U.N. nuclear watchdog said on Friday Iran had failed to explain Western intelligence reports showing explosives and missile work linked to making atomic bombs and that this was a “serious concern.””

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The IAEA findings, which also said Iran had failed to clear up all outstanding questions by an agreed February deadline, may spur the Security Council to adopt more sanctions as early as next week.

The United States, which has accused Iran of having a secret program to build nuclear weapons, said Tehran had failed to meet U.N. demands and that it would go on pressing for new sanctions against the Islamic Republic.

Senior diplomats from Britain, France, Germany, the United States, China and Russia would meet in Washington on Monday to discuss the next steps over Iran, Western officials said.”
