The Washington Times - The crisis over Iran's nuclear dossier is viewed as one of today's most important world challenges. Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republican, told CBS News' "Face the Nation": "This is the most grave situation that we have faced since the end of the Cold War, absent the whole war on terror."

Editorial

The Washington Times - The symbolic resolution passed by the International Atomic Energy Agency board Saturday calling for Iran's referral to the United Nations Security Council is just the latest evidence that the Islamist regime is on a collision course with the United States and its allies.

Global Politician - The threat from the Islamic Republic of Iran grows every day as the antagonistic regime of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamene and his appointed president, Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, continues in its relentless pursuit of nuclear capabilities. Iran's claim that it seeks to use nuclear energy for peaceful production of electricity has been proven a lie by the announcement of Russia that none of Iran's atomic sites hold any of the necessary ancillary equipment needed for producing electricity. On the other hand, there is abundant evidence that Iran is busy producing long range missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads. When one recalls Iran's twenty-seven year history of calling for the destruction of this country and of the State of Israel, reasonable prudence would council extreme caution against labeling the Iranian threat "empty boasting or mere rhetoric".

As a sociologist who has known, closely studied the history and followed the activities of the main Iranian opposition group, the Mujahedeen-e Khalq (MEK), in the past 34 years, I read with amazement and somewhat dismay Michael Rubin's "Monsters of the Left," (FrontPageMagazine, January 13, 2006)[1]. His article purports to be a scholarly survey of the assistance provided by "the Left" to the MEK.

The Sunday Telegraph - Iran escalated its nuclear showdown with the West last night by ending international inspections of its atomic sites and preparing to restart uranium enrichment.

Hours after Iran was reported to the United Nations Security Council for its nuclear programme, its officials were taking the first steps towards carrying out their threat to produce the material - which Western intelligence believes will be used for atomic weapons.

NCRI - A day after Iranian regime declared that the Russian plan for enrichment was dead because Tehran was reported to the U.N. Security Council, it announced on today that it would hold talks with Moscow on its plan.

Following a decree by the Mullahs' President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, for a halt in cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency and the resumption of full-scale nuclear activities, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, said: "The only way to confront and thwart the mullahs' deceit and obfuscation is swift action and not giving them anymore time."
