Moscow and Anti-Iran Sanctions |
|
|
|
Saturday, 24 July 2010 |
 To hinder Iran’s uranium-enrichment program, the US has introduced sanctions that bar deliveries of gasoline and other refined oil products to Iran. Moscow’s message is an opening gambit.

Russia only recognizes sanctions approved by UN Security Council resolutions. |

|
|

India Looks Toward Iran |
|
|
|
Friday, 23 July 2010 |
 Increasingly pressed by Washington’s dysfunctional Afghanistan policy and America’s high profile relationship with China, India may be moving closer to the Islamic Republic. With fresh sanctions being imposed on Iran, some of the most explosive issues in global politics—from rivalry between nuclear-armed India and Pakistan and between Shi’ite Iran and Sunni Saudi Arabia, to the row over Tehran’s nuclear programme, to the fate of Afghanistan and the battle against Islamist militants—are converging. |

|
|

But an attack on Iran would return all calculations to ground zero .If the decade’s third major war does erupt over Iran in 2010-11, this will be a yet further victory for the “control paradigm” that has brought so much suffering, anguish and conflict since 9/11. |

|
|
|
Monday, 19 July 2010 |
