Iran: Among other things is a Terrorist State

One look at most of my posts recently and it's clear that Iran has continued to be a subject of interest to me (as well as circumstances surrounding it). Reason being is that Iran is a problem. Not only is Iran a problem, but other influential nations (such as Russia and China) become an issue when they support Iran (by not supporting action that the rest of the world wants to take against Iran to stop the chances of a nuclear confrontation).

A few days ago I came across a post at Captain's Quarters that was also backed up by Regime Change Iran - that Iran had brought on board (to deal with a possible US led attack) known terrorist operative Imad Mugniyeh, a man who is on the FBI's "Most Wanted" list for his role in a series of high-profile attacks against the West, including the 1985 hijacking of a TWA jet and murder of one of its passengers, a US navy diver. - Sunday Times Article

It has been said again and again, something needs to be done here, and not some soft handed action either. We know Iran is playing this game for keeps, and that they are ready and willing to wear-down and out-last the West in such a game. Time, for all practical purposes, is on their side - not ours. I go back to the posts on "The Plan" and "Iran's Secret Program"

Also reported on Captian's Quarters in recent days is that Russia and Iran have reached an enrichment agreement. The questions that the Captian poses are indeed good ones; the answers are probably not ones that the United States wants to hear.

Keep an eye on the news this week, as Iran is nearing the end of the 30 day time frame that the UNSC gave it to deal with it's nuclear ambitions. The question now is, "will the United Nations take strong action against Iran in the form of sanctions or otherwise?"

I wouldn't count on it, not with Russia and China in Iran's corner. Look for the UNSC to deliberate more and more on the issue, while Ambassador John Bolton does his best to move towards some sort of action.
