Iranian Weekly: Our Determination In Nuclear Issue Weakening West’s Threats
The Iranian weekly Parto-e Sokhan, which is identified with Ayatollah Mesbah-e Yazdi, spiritual mentor to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, stated that the West’s threats against Iran were weakening due to Iran’s insistence on its right to nuclear technology.
The weekly also pointed to increased foreign investment in Iran in the past year as proof of the sanctions’ weakness.
Referring to the assassination of senior Hizbullah commander Imad Mughniya, the paper said that Israel’s achievement would be erased by a new Hizbullah operation against it.

“’Jewish Agency attack spontaneous’”
By HAVIV RETTIG
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The context for the attack is as yet unclear. Knafo has said he knew of no reason anyone would target his home, while Amos Hermon, a member of the Jewish Agency Executive and chair of its Task Force on Anti-Semitism, echoed other agency officials in noting the attack may mark an unparalleled escalation of anti-Israel campus activism.
“This is unprecedented,” said Hermon. “A Jewish Agency emissary hasn’t been attacked in America for decades, and we’ve never known a Molotov cocktail attack that came from anti-Israel or anti-Semitic groups.”
As a semi-official organization, the Jewish Agency is a “protected entity,” the security of which is under the purview of the Israel Security Agency (ISA), which coordinates security for Israeli representation overseas.
Agency officials, including Hermon, cite tensions that may have risen over the weekend due to a massive Jewish Agency campaign on dozens of university campuses and in hundreds of synagogues and schools in the US and worldwide to commemorate the March 6 terror attack on Jerusalem’s Mercaz Harav Yeshiva which killed eight students.
The agency has also received warnings from Israeli security services over possible retaliation attacks in the wake of the assassination in Damascus of Hizbullah mastermind Imad Mughniyeh on February 12. At the time, Israeli officials welcomed Mughniyeh’s death, but did not claim responsibility for the operation.
Following the Saturday attack, hundreds of Jewish Agency emissaries throughout the US and Canada were briefed on the event and its security implications.”
