On February 21, the state-run news agency, Fars, published startling remarks by Hassan Rowhani, former Tehran nuclear point man in talks with the EU-3. Rowhani's comments shed light on Tehran's undeniable and evil designs to have the nuclear bomb. It also lays bare the dirty deal between Tehran and the Europeans to keep the main Iranian opposition group, the People's Mojahedin on the terrorist watch list.

"During the summit of the leaders of the state it was said that the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) September resolution demands that we provide a complete picture of our nuclear program. Had we done that, it would have resulted in our referral to the Security Council. Had we not done that, it would have meant violating the resolution and would have resulted in referral any way. In other words, there was consensus that either way, our file would have been referred to the Security Council."

BOI - The theocratic regime in Iran has told the International Atomic Energy Agency on Tuesday that it will resume suspended nuclear-fuel research on January 9, thereby taking another step toward the acquisition of nuclear weapons in the face of international inaction.

Mohammad Mohaddessin, Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, said, "The decision not to refer Tehran's nuclear file to the UN Security Council in November, continued negotiations in Vienna last December, as well as the Russian proposal, have emboldened the regime to defy the international community's will, and have given it time to move closer to producing nuclear weapons."

United Press International - Amid all the uncertainties plaguing the Middle East there are at least three sure things.

First, Iran will continue to build its nuclear weapons despite cries of protests from the Europeans and the United States. Second, the Bush administration will not allow the Islamic republic to pursue its nuclear dream. President George W. Bush has repeatedly stated that he is leaving "all options on the table, including the military option." And third, Iran will continue to build its nuclear weapon system, despite it being bombed by the United States.

Democracy in the Middle East and the Islamic world has been taken hostage by Islamic fundamentalism whose heart beats in Tehran under the clerical rule. Making use of its economic, political, diplomatic and terrorist leverage, the mullahs are taking advantage of the religious sentiments of Muslims around the world to derail the democratic processes in their communities and impose their brand of  Islamic fundamentalism in those countries.
