IRAN RELIGIOUS LEADER-IRAN ALREADY NUCLEAR

DANIEL 7:23-24
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast(THE EU,REVIVED ROME) shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth,(7TH WORLD EMPIRE) which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.(TRADE BLOCKS)
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise:(10 NATIONS-10 WORLD REGIONS) and another shall rise after them;(#11 SPAIN) and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.(BE HEAD OF 3 KINGS OR NATIONS).

Brussels keen to redirect €82bn for jobs and growth
27.01.12 @ 17:37 By Valentina Pop

BRUSSELS - The EU commission wants to redirect €82bn worth of structural funds to projects aimed at boosting employment and growth, particularly in bailed-out countries, measures seen as both vague and inadequate by critics.Anticipating a demand from Monday's EU summit to redeploy as yet unspent structural funds for employment-related projects, the EU commission on Friday (27 January) announced its intention to work with member states on redistributing €82 billion.Speaking at a press conference with the Belgian premier, commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso said: What we can do is to redeploy structural funds, as long as member states agree, because this is always a partnership between the commission and member states.
He gave the example of Italy, whose recently appointed technocrat government asked for a reprogramming of funds to the tune of €3.1bn for education, broadband and railway investments in the country's poorer southern regions.Now we would like to do the same with programme countries where there is high youth unemployment,Barroso said.

A similar programme has been agreed with Greece as well, where projects worth €11.5bn should help build motorways, schools and energy efficiency in housing, commission spokesman Ton Van Lierop told this website. The task force of EU commission experts deployed to the country last year with the aim of assisting the government with its structural reforms required by the EU and IMF will help in implementing these new priorities, he added.In Romania and Bulgaria, the EU's newest members and where structural funds go largely unspent year by year, the governments have accepted to have EU experts help them with the drafting and checking of the EU's notoriously bureaucratic project requirements.But experts are sceptical that this new strategy will have any impact on the forecast recession in most member states.It's not enough money to really make a difference. If it was €82bn for research or in fiscal deductions for small and medium enterprises, maybe it would, says Diego Valiante, an economist with the Centre for European Policy Studies, a Brussels-based think tank.Instead of doing more of the same - letting member states select all sorts of bridges to nowhere and other irrelevant projects, the EU commission should link structural funds with labour market reforms needed in most member states, he said.But Valiante also conceded that under the current budget - which ends in 2013 - there is little room for manoeuvre for both the commission and member states.This one is finished, we will have to wait for the next multi-annual budget to revamp the rules,he said.

EU points to oil reserves after Iran threat
27.01.12 @ 18:50 By Andrew Rettman

BRUSSELS - The European Commission has noted that there is a lot of oil around inside reserves in EU countries even if Iran makes good on threats to stop deliveries next week.Petrol pumps - even in Greece - will not dry up over night if Iran makes good on its threat (Photo: Antonio)Iranian MPs are due to discuss on Sunday (29 January) whether to immediately stop shipping an estimated 600,000 barrels of crude oil a day to member states in reaction to recent EU sanctions.The Union on Monday said it would stop buying Iranian oil in July unless it falls in with UN demands on its nuclear programme.Greece - which last year bought some 35 percent of its oil from Iran - is in the most delicate situation because the financial crisis has made other suppliers wary of giving it credit.The Greek foreign ministry is keeping quiet on the Iranian threat. But Athens in recent weeks exacted promises from fellow EU countries that they would stick by its side in the event of a disruption before it gave its nod to the anti-Iran sanctions.Greece itself has around 31 million barrels in its rainy-day stock according to the latest figures of the Paris-based International Energy Agency (IEA) - enough to meet over 90 days of consumption without importing or producing a single drop.

Germany has 283 million barrels, enough for over 100 days of consumption. France, which pushed Greece to adopt the anti-Iran sanctions in the first place, is sitting on 160 million barrels, also enough for 90 days.European Commission spokeswoman Marlene Holzner told EUobserver on Friday:If you take all the reserves of all the member states together, it means there is a lot of oil around and if they decide to put it into the market, they can do it.She added: Yes, it [an immediate Iranian stoppage] would have an impact, but it's not the case that from one day to another one of our members would have no oil at all.For her part, EU foreign relations spokeswoman Maja Kocjancic said consultations between member states to make sure disruption scenarios do not leave anybody high and dry have been going on for quite some time.Oil markets on Friday stayed calm, with prices going up less than $1 per barrel.The market reaction was similar to Monday's, when prices went up by just over $1 after Iran repeated threats to block the Strait of Hormuz, a maritime conduit for Saudi oil exports.Western analysts do not believe Iran would risk a military confrontation with the US, which keeps two aircraft carriers nearby.

Iranian Religious Leader: We're Already Nuclear-Senior Iranian religious leader Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami: Iran is already nuclear, U.S. too blind to realize that. By Elad Benari, Canada First Publish: 1/27/2012, 10:16 PM

Senior Iranian religious leader Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami said on Friday that Iran is already a nuclear state and that Americans have not realized that.The United States says it will not allow Iran to be nuclear, but it is so blind that it hasn’t noticed that Iran has already become a nuclear state,Khatami was quoted by Channel 10 News as having said. He added that the U.S. has become isolated in the region, after its four slaves were removed from power. He was referring to former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, former Libyan strongman Muammar Qaddafi, former Tunisian President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali and former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh.Khatami also addressed the EU’s embargo on Iranian oil imports, which was announced this week, and said that the Europeans decided to wait with the implementation of the sanctions until July because their economic situation is no better than Iran’s.Why did the Europeans decide to wait half a year before implementing the sanctions? The answer is simple - the Europeans have their own serious trouble - they were hit by the financial crisis,he said.Khatami added the embargo will hurt Europe more than it will hurt Iran, because Saudi Arabia will not be able to provide the required amount of oil to Europe, while the sanctions will only hurt 18 percent of Iran’s oil exports.

Barak: Eventually Even an Attack Won't Stop Iran-Defense Minister Ehud Barak: the world must stop Iran before it reaches a point where even a military attack won't stop it.By Elad Benari, Canada First Publish: 1/27/2012, 9:05 PM

Defense Minister Ehud Barak said on Friday that the world must stop Iran quickly before it reaches the point where even a military attack would not stop it from acquiring nuclear weapons.Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Barak said, The situation is urgent, because the Iranians deliberately drifting to what we call a resistant zone in which nothing will not block them.
Barak called for further harsher sanctions against Iranian banks and its oil industry so that we all know soon enough if the Iranians are willing to give up their nuclear weapons program.Barak’s comments come after earlier this week, the European Union slapped an embargo on Iranian oil. The sanctions would introduce a gradual ban on buying Iranian oil and petrochemicals, and that EU members would have to halt imports completely by July 1, 2012.Hours later, the U.S. Treasury announced sanctions against Iran’s Bank Tejarat, the third largest bank in the Islamic Republic.Bank Tejarat is accused of aiding Iranian programs to acquire weapons of mass destruction, including moving tens of millions of dollars to help a state-run agency acquire uranium.

On Thursday, President Barack Obama said his administration has imposed the toughest sanctions ever on Iran.They had a lot of bite. The Iranian regime is feeling them, Obama told ABC News. And, ultimately, I hope that we can resolve this through diplomatic means. But we're not taking any options off the table.(Arutz Sheva’s North American Desk is keeping you updated until the start of Shabbat in New York.

Israel Uses Jordan Talks to Present Borders-During meeting in Jordan Israel presented, for the first time, its principles regarding the borders of a future Palestinian state.By Elad Benari First Publish: 1/27/2012, 4:13 AM

Israel presented this week, for the first time, its principles regarding the borders of a future Palestinian state. The borders were presented during Wednesday’s meeting in Jordan between attorney Yitzchak Molcho and the Palestinian Authority’s chief negotiator Saeb Erekat.One of the principles presented by Molcho is that, in a final settlement, most of the Israeli residents of Judea and Samaria will remain in Israeli territory, and the border will be drawn in such a way that most PA Arabs who currently reside in Judea and Samaria will be part of the Palestinian state.The borders presented by Molcho are similar to the route of the separation fence, which was constructed in such a way that most of the major settlement blocs remained on the western side of the fence. This includes Gush Etzion, Ma’aleh Adumim, Beitar Illit, Kiryat Sefer and Alfei Menashe. Israel insists that Ariel also be included as part of Israeli territory in a permanent status agreement with the PA.Molcho presented Israel’s position on borders orally and did not present Erekat with an official document on the matter. He presented a series of general principles, without displaying maps or indicating what percentages of territories Israel would be willing to give up as part of a permanent agreement. Having Israel present its position on borders was a central PA demand to continue talks in Amman under the auspices of King Abdullah, but in the past the PA has consistently rejected having the border be determined based the separation fence.

Presenting the principles on borders marks the first time the current Netanyahu government has agreed to discuss the territorial issue. However, analysts said on Thursday that it is likely a tactical move designed to put pressure on the PA and not give the entity an excuse to end talks by using the argument that Israel would not discuss the issue of borders.Wednesday marked the final exploratory meeting between Israel and the PA, and it ended with no progress. Erekat and Molcho made little headway in their fifth meeting, the last before the January 26 deadline set by the Quartet of peacekeeping nations to break the impasse and relaunch direct talks for a final status agreement between the two sides.Prior to the meeting, the PA-based Ma’an news agency reported that the PA refused to continue talks with Israel after the deadline.Erekat – a member of the Fatah terror faction's Central committee -- used a previous meeting to negotiate the release of all PA terrorist prisoners currently incarcerated in Israeli jails, rather than to focus his efforts on discussing the core issues relating to Israel-PA statehood.Among the issues Erekat raised at the last meeting was advocating for the release of Hamas legislator Aziz Dweik, who had been recently arrested by Israeli security forces.

Shabbat Rocket Attack on Nahal Oz-The PFLP took responsibility for a mortar attack on Nahal Oz late Friday after clashes with IDF forces in Ash-Shujaa’eya.By Gavriel Queenann First Publish: 1/28/2012, 6:44 PM

The community of Nahal Oz came under attack on Friday night as residents tried to enjoy their Shabbat rest.No physical injuries or property damage were reported in the attack.The Abu Ali Mustafa Brigade, the armed wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), claimed to have fired four mortar rounds at the Gaza-belt community of Nahal Oz.They said in a statement that the shelling came as retaliation for an Israeli force storming Ash-Shujaa’eya east of Gaza City at 10:50 pm on Friday.The IDF force reportedly crossed into the area after a nearby watchtower on the Israeli side of Gaza security fence came under fire by terrorists in Ash-Shujaa’eya.However, a spokesman for the IDF said that a single rocket – not four mortar rounds – fell in an open area near Nahal Oz on Friday.A flare fired by the IDF over Ash-Shujaa’eya near dusk to illuminate the trouble spot on Saturday reportedly hit a family home.No physical injuries were reported in the incident.

Former IDF Chief: Israel Must Prepare for War-Ashkenazi: Israel must not cut its budget because shifting strategic realities demand it prepare for war. By Gavriel Queenann First Publish: 1/27/2012, 1:08 PM

Former IDF Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi warned, Thursday, that Israel could not afford to cut its defense budget and should prepare itself for war.In comparison to 10 years ago, the possibility of a conflict is not something that we just need to talk about,Ashkenazi said during a lecture at the Institute for National Security Studies in Tel Aviv.We never saw it coming. It happened on my watch, so it must be said. But if it's any consolation, Egypt never saw it coming either,Ashkenazi said of the so-called Arab Spring protests that have no turned into an Islamic winter in elections throughout the Arab world.The Middle East's plates are shifting. What the Egyptian army didn't know, I couldn't have known. (Egypt's) leaders did not know either,he said, adding the ultimate strategic picture was still changing.Ashkenazi told attendees that confronting Iran's nuclear ambitions required a multi-disciplinary approach that included covert, economic, and potentially military action.In my opinion, the strategy vis-à-vis Iran should be to do whatever is possible under the radar coupled with painful and crippling sanctions. However, we should also keep a viable military option on the table,he said.While Ashkenazi said sanctions were having an effect on Iran, he warned that time was running out since the Iranian nuclear program was moving forward at a rapid pace.Our mission now needs to be to slow down the clock and to speed up the clock of sanctions and hope that it works,he said.

Ashkenazi cautioned that Iran's strategic acumen should not be overestimated, saying Tehran had made some strategic blunders and was threatening to make others as pressure mounts.I believe Iran would be making a strategic mistake if it blocks the Strait of Hormuz. Another mistake was trying to kill the Saudi ambassador at a restaurant in the US capital. The Iranians are liable to make more mistakes under pressure,he said.Ashkenazi served as IDF chief of staff from 2007 until 2011 and certainly played a key role in preparing the military for a possible attack against Iran’s nuclear facilities. A 2007 strike against Syria’s nuclear reactor widely ascribed to Israel also happened on his watch.Ashkenazi, who oversaw operation Cast Lead in 2008-2009, said the new regime in Cairo made a new Gaza incursion a complex undertaking.The possibility of conducting another extensive operation in Gaza has become more complex following the events of the past year in Egypt and the change of government in that country,he said.I think that this government will not act like Mubarak. I do not think he was a Zionist, but you cannot ignore the fact that he was an anchor of stability in the region considering the not-so simple tests he passed – the wars in Lebanon or the intifada.
