Hamas chief thanks Iran for support
Hamas leader Khaled Meshal thanked Iran on Monday for many kinds of assistance but omitted any mention of the military aid that Israel and the United States have accused Iran of providing the Islamist movement that controls the Gaza Strip.

Limited to humanitarian aid of course.



Iran's first satellite launch demonstrates possession of nuclear capable rocket
The launch of Omid (Hope), Iran's first home-made satellite into orbit early Tuesday, Feb. 3, is a breakthrough demonstrating the Islamic Republic has managed to develop long-range, three-stage, solid fuel ballistic rockets capable of carrying nuclear warheads.

Seems to me the march toward a nuclear confrontation with Iran has sped up considerably since Obama took office. When is Obama going to get down to serious business and have coffee and donuts with Ahmadinejad?
