Iran 'disqualifies' EU from talks

BBC NEWS | Europe | Iran 'disqualifies' EU from talks

The EU is no longer qualified to take part in talks on Iran's nuclear programme, Iran's military chief says.

Maj Gen Hassan Firouzabadi, Iran's chief of staff, accused the EU of "interference" in riots which followed June's disputed presidential elections.

EU states, meanwhile, are considering withdrawing their ambassadors from Iran in a growing diplomatic row.

It appears that Ahmadinejad and the rest of the regime may create their own demise. Thoughts?

The world should disqualify the Iranian regime from the face of earth.

I doubt it. They certainley aren't doing themselves any favors by shunning other countries, but its not as if he's creating any enemies that would do something to him.

Most likely you are correct. The article states that the only nations opposed to full diplomatic pull-out are Germany and Italy. Guess what, they are the two biggest EU trading partners with Iran. What's the saying: The love of money is the root of all evil.

I wonder, though, if we blockade them in and we stop exports from leaving and imports from entering, how long it will take them to figure out that enriched uranium isn't a good dietary supplement?

About as long as it took them to put it in missles and fire it in retaliation when they got desperate enough.

They're gonna use this uprising as excuse to expand their powers and put into effect a full blown police state. It's going to be very important that the Iranian People win and are able to take out that crap theocracy and faux democracy they have now.

Of course. Russia loves that there is a wacky, near nuke having ME country poking at the U.S. and the West. All thanks to them.

I think this is the bit the world needs to watch most carefully - "Iran's Basij militia has called for the defeated opposition candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi to be prosecuted.

The semi-official Fars news agency said the militia - a volunteer force of Islamic government loyalists - had accused Mr Mousavi of nine offences, including propaganda against the state, and complicity in disrupting national security."

Mousavi's policies and stance may not be that different from Ahmadinejad but the Fars agency accusations are pretty serious. First there appears to be a stolen election and now they are painting the defeated rival as an enemy of the state.

All too grim a reminder of some of George Orwell's prophetic writing in 1984.

Point well made.

Maj Gen Hassan Firouzabadi, Iran's chief of staff, accused the EU of "interference" in riots which followed June's disputed presidential elections.

I'm confused. I thought the CIA was behind the protests, no wait a minute it was others in the U.S. using the web to interfere in Iran's internal affairs.

I would say that I have generally been nonviolent since I stopped playing football and avoid physical confrontations when ever possible and seldom advocate the use of violence except when it is absolutely necessary for self defense or to prevent massive wide spread loss of life. Therefore I wonder once again how it that in the past few weeks there have been two major airline crashes into the Oceans with no survivors and with the cause of the crashes a mystery, and people like Ahmadinejad and Hugo Chavez can fly over the Atlantic and some how their planes never go down. Nudge, nudge say no more know what I mean? Huh nudge, nudge.
I can almost see or here the reports now.
Ahmadinejad feared killed along with his entire staff as Presidential plane mysteriously vanishes over the Ocean.
Reports are still sketchy but here's what we have so far. All communications were lost as the Iranian presidents plane disappeared as it neared the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. There were no call indicating any mechanical difficulties and no emergency calls were received. The location means that there was no radar tracking the plane at the time of it's disappearance.
A search will be conducted at first light. More news at it becomes available.

Now this could happen and it might be caused by a bomb on board or golly who knows what happened.

Accidents do happen. Nudge nudge, say no more know what I mean. .

Russia actually offered them free enriched uranium and they refused which is the biggest proof that their intent is not peaceful but then again that hasn't stopped the Russians from selling them the advanced S-300 missile defense system.

Russia doesnt have what it takes anymore to threaten the West and manipulate the West with such threats to establish a stronger presence in there "sphere of influence" by keeping us Westeners out. They like keeping Westeners at bay, so now, a bit like there Soviet past (Cuba), they are using proxy countries to do it. Making them know we can do whatever we like, despite if the US likes it or not. Thats there little game to show they still have some muscle left. So when we go building nucleur defence shields in Europe, they are up in arms. Cause they know arming Iran just bit them in the bum.
