[bemildred]

Ynet learns Israel intends to demand UN Security Council assemble to debate third round of sanctions against Islamic Republic after release of IAEA report. ''We hope IAEA is aware of the price the entire world may end up paying for its lenient approach towards Iran,' says top Jerusalem official Roni Sofer

"Israel believes that there is an urgent need for a third round of sanctions against Iran, and it has directed its actions in accordance with this belief for the past several months. The UN Security Council must be convened as soon as possible so that such sanctions will be authorized."

Olmert is expected to tell the Japanese that Iran is developing missiles capable of reaching every country in the world and is also working to enrich uranium.

1. Yes they really need to switch them back to the dollar standard.

2. As long as the Japanese don't

go bombing the Iranian fleet at anchor, they have nothing to worry about.

3. I understand that Japan actually gets oil from Iran.

It occurs to me that that might affect their attitude. Especially since one of the justifications for Iran's nuclear development is because they want to sell the oil, rather then just use it all up themselves generating electricity. I was wondering if the Israeli "leaders" were aware of these things, and what they expected to accomplish with this sort of unrealistic blathering, if they were.

5. The oil coming out of Alaska

goes mainly to Japan (IIRC) and not opening ANWR to drilling will force them to make it up elsewhere. Could the US be holding back their supply to twist an arm here? Wouldn't be the first time I guess.

Israel has little to no chance getting any further sanction support from Russia or China at this point, but I'm sure that won't stop them from trying.

that Emperor Akihito probably wishes he'd just been a hotdog vendor at Tokyo Giants stadium rather than His Majesty in Charge of Talking With Foreign Assclowns.
