The ambiguous headline comes straight from CNN, and of course in a sense ultimately from Ahmadinejad himself, for he is the one who created this ambiguity.
It is most likely that all that will happen will be that Iran will respond to the West's tribute offer, and that he will respond with contempt and bellicosity. And the world, reassured that August 22 isn't doomsday after all, will allow itself to forget that he is still working toward a nuclear program, and has made his threats and genocidal aspirations quite clear.
From CNN:
TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) -- Iran is due to give its formal answer to a United Nations demand that Tehran halt uranium enrichment in exchange for a package of incentives or face a new threat of sanctions.The response will be delivered at 4 p.m. (1230 GMT) on Tuesday in the Iranian capital, diplomats said.
Iran will hand the reply to diplomats from Russia, China, France, Britain and Germany, and to the Swiss ambassador representing the United States, which has no embassy in Tehran, they said.
"I can confirm, there will be a meeting at 4 p.m. for the EU3 plus Russia, China and the Swiss representative for the USA," one of the diplomats told Reuters, after the news was first broadcast by an Iranian television station.
The response will be handed over at Iran's Supreme National Security Council, which handles the nuclear file, they said.
Iranian officials have said it would be a written reply and have said the reply will be "multi-dimensional," Reuters reported.
Why don't you show a little dignity and stop the whining and fear mongering? You well know that the infidel powers have no will and so cannot prevail. Their leaders have read the handwriting on the wall and realise that the triumph of Islam is inevitable.
The long struggle is over and as Allah (swt) has promised, Islam has prevailed. I invite you now to reject your false gods and corrupt societies and to accept Islam.
Embrace Islam now and live in peace and freedom in submission to the will of Almighty Allah (swt).
Your grandchildren will be Muslim.
Allahu akbar!
another Pitiable Rabid muslim dog who left the beauty of Sharia land to reform the beautiful infidel world.
American Muslim,
I have some bad news for you. I just spent 2 years reading the koran and hadith. I have come to the conclusion that if the koran is true then allah = satan and you 'paradise' is not what you think it will be. That is the worst case scenario. At best it is just a silly storybook and the sorriest, most nonsensical excuse for scripture I have ever seen. Either way, you have been really tricked. I pray that you research the Bible as I have done the koran and are able to see the truth.

AP is reporting that Iranian troops have taken a Romanian oil rig by force.
I don't think Ahmadinewallace is going to be clear on anything today, except perhaps that he needs a shower, shave, and a good rubdown at the nearest Turkish bathhouse. He's testing the world's response, just like in Lebanon, and I'm sure he'll be pleased at the incessant hand-wringing and mindless chatter of politicians and diplomats. Where's Patton? Where's LeMay? Where's Marshall? What good are all these wonderful toys we have in our arsenals if we're not going to use them? I say bring our guys home from around the world and let the boomer drivers finish this thing. Film at 11.
I am not sure how 'american muslim' thinks islam has prevailed.
By the way, Americans don't spell realize with an s
so he is probably not American. Also, a muslim does not say muslim american... They hate that....they prefer muslim in america or so I hear. Not being Muslim, I don't have the inside scoop here.
I pray the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob open his heart and mind to the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Amen Miki
I sometimes think that the fate of the Muslim Mideast is being written in Drafur, that what looks like a side-show of jihad terror is Providentially linked to the Arab-Israel conflict. Providence, in some mysterious way, may require a balance for the absence of Arab pity for the Africans. What have they done to deserve this?
A general note:
I have just banned "American Muslim" from commenting -- not because Muslims are not welcome to comment here, but because he appears to be a non-Muslim provocateur who posted here several years ago using the name "Reza."
There are trolls, and there are trolls.

I suspect Minnies announcement will be nothing more than firey Muslim rhetoric laced with death threats. Typical Muslim speech writing.
Good riddance creepy muslim, you're not AMERICAN from my point of view. I have one GOD.BTL (bless the lord)
Essential reading for everyone. Repost it it wherever and whenever you can.

Robert,
Thank-you for banning "American Muslim". We should not waste our time with trolls. In the six years I have been posting over at internet forums, I have seen my share of trolls.
