UN sets another deadline for Iran: August 31

As Jihad Watch News Editor Marisol Seibold said here, "Observe this deadline, or else... we'll set another." Marisol knows the pusillanimous dhimmis of the UN well. Iran ignored the July 12 deadline, so now the UN dhimmis have given them a new one. And if they ignore that one, they'll get another fresh one.

"Iran given a month to comply or face UN sanctions," from the TimesOnline, with thanks to JE:

THE diplomatic campaign to stop Iran from getting a nuclear bomb came to a climax yesterday when the UN ordered Tehran to halt all uranium enrichment activities and threatened sanctions if it failed to do so by August 31.

Previous appeals to Iran to suspend its enrichment work were made mandatory in the Security Council’s first resolution on the nuclear stand-off, depriving Tehran of its right under the Non-Proliferation Treaty to develop the nuclear fuel cycle.

The council voted 14-1, with support from Russia and China for the first time and only Qatar against. It expressed its intention to adopt “appropriate measures” if Iran failed to comply by August 31, but worded the resolution to avoid any threat of military force.

US officials say that Washington’s next step may be to seek UN sanctions banning Iranian imports of dual-use items, limiting Tehran’s access to technology and restricting travel by Iranian officials.

Iran has remained defiant, rejecting the resolution in a commentary on state-run radio on Sunday even before the vote.

Patriot8:

One thing about Ahmadinejad's big threatening mouth, is that while the United Nothing fools don't get it, there are people who are listening very carefully to his obsessing over Aug. 22 and the irradication of Israel.

I can hardly wait to hear what those sanctions will be:

* "Shame, shame, everybody knows your name!"

* "We'll tell your friends not to talk to you."

* "You can't come to our next party unless you say pretty please."

Any other guesses?

You keep this up and we will send you Ward Churchill, Cindy Sheehan and we will throw in Cynthia Mckinney, Charles Rangel and Barbara Pelosi just for good measure. You will find them useful in your organization, (they certainly are not helping us)

Patriot8 & waterdragon52:
Can you provide any links that mention Iran's "Light Over Jerusalem" being planned for Aug 22? I've heard that date bandied about before, but can't recall why that date is significant.

the 22nd was a date iran gave,that they would tell us if they were gunna accept the last offer,well second to last time.

Why August 22?
Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has rejected Western demands that he respond to a new proposal regarding the cessation of Iran’s nuclear efforts by the middle of this month.

To the consternation of officials in Europe and Washington, Ahmadinejad promised only to respond by the end of the Iranian month of Mordad (August 22).

Why that date? Why so long to look over a simple package of incentives and give either a negative or a positive reply? Finding the answers to these troubling questions may require America and Europe to come to terms with a reality Western liberalism has done its best to ignore - that Islam remains engaged in a clash of civilizations with the Judeo-Christian world.

You see, Ahmadinejad is a strong believer in the Shi’ite tradition of a 12th imam, the so-called “hidden” Imam Mahdi who Allah has miraculously kept alive since his disappearance in 874 AD. As the story goes, Imam Mahdi will return at a time of great global chaos, oppression and bloodshed and usher in an era of (Islamic) justice.

Ahmadinejad sees himself as Allah’s instrument to pave the way for Imam Mahdi, and constantly uses public appearances to urge his countrymen to prepare to back him in this task.

Rumor is, Imam Mahdi could be returning this August (or shortly thereafter), just around the time some military experts believe Iran will be ready to construct its first nuclear weapon. Go figure.

Ahmadinejad has made clear his confidence that he and other true believers can affect this apocalyptic timetable, and will use all means at his disposal to do so.

Also of note is that August 22 of this year corresponds with the Islamic date of Rajab 28, the day Saladin conquered and entered Jerusalem.

Taken in conjunction with Ahmadinejad’s stated desire to see Israel destroyed, it hardly seems a coincidence.

Will the coming months see Ahmadinejad attempt to bring about Imam Mahdi’s return by attacking Israel and generating the necessary regional and global chaos?

Perhaps the better question is, will the West start to take this man at his word in time to stop him?

And when we get to, or close to the 31st August deadline, what will the next deadline be? The Twelth of Never, perhaps? How many more lines must be drawn in the sand and crossed before we finally say "Enough is enough"?

"Also of note is that August 22 of this year corresponds with the Islamic date of Rajab 28, the day Saladin conquered and entered Jerusalem."

Thanks exsgtbrown--that's what I was looking for concerning Aug 22.

BREAKING NEWS:

IRAN'S PRESIDENT REJECTS U.N. SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION IMPOSING AUG. 31 DEADLINE FOR SUSPENDING URANIUM ENRICHMENT

So I take it there will be another deadline, somewhere around 20th September.

It appears the U.N. as aiding iran regarding the stall tactic by validating iran's stall w/ subsequent U.N. stalls.

What does iran gain by the stalling?

How about time to finish readying concealed missile launch sites, Time to prepare for an all-out assault on Israel (or maybe even Iraq??).YOYO Ahmadinedjad has been promising big things and I think big things are sure to occur.Time to organized joint Arab operations for a massive big blow.
I believe the UN hates America and is willing to see America make those types of commitments that cost billions of dollars and saps its military strength.
The way to defeat America is to bankrupt it not to try to slug it out. THE USA bankrupted USSR and it worked. DID you ever notice that whenever Islmic terrorists create havoc, America dumps millions of dollars into aid or military support.
America should just fight and foget trying to fund everyone.

I apologize for the double post, pc gremlins at work

I hope thier covert maneuvering during this stalling activity is actively being mapped for tageting and info and political leverage.

This game will go on until the world see's a mushroom cloud over Israel and then the pundits will wring their hands and say "how could this happen !" just like they did with the Holocoust. And of course they will balme Bush that it happened on his watch, and well they should if he does not stop them soon.

targets most assuredly have been mapped and coordinates established for severe action if needed. I hope MINNI is aware of the BOOMER subs in the area. BOOMER subs carry at least 20 missiles, each containing about 24 separate warheads of the most potent power. That equal 480 targets one sub can lethally hit with accuracy. AND there are at two subs in the area at all times. No need for air power, no need for ground troops, no need for deadlines, no need for negotiations. All that is needed is for MINNIE to push his Islamic death threat button.

Squire you asked what the UN gains, consider this :

Did you know theres a trend in the world today to wipe Israel off the map and replace Israel with a Palestinian nation?

Consider the following article titled UN Ceremony Includes Map of Palestine In Place of Israel published December 9, 2005. Here is how it begins:
The United Nations held a "Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People" last week. A large map of Palestine, with Israel literally wiped off the map, featured prominently in the festivities. The ceremony was held at the UN headquarters in New York and was attended by Secretary General Kofi Annan and the Presidents of the UN Security Council and the General Assembly. [1]

Now, you should have picked up the significance as you read this statement. A meeting that was held at the United Nations, attended by the Secretary General of the United Nations to honor the Palestinian people, displayed a map of the Middle East - without Israel on the map.
But that is not all. There is more to indicate that UN officials knew exactly what they were doing. Quoting again from the article:

With the map hanging behind him, Secretary-General Annan addressed the public meeting at UN Headquarters. At the start of the ceremony, the dignitaries present asked attendees to observe a moment of silence. I invite everyone present to rise and observe a minute of silence in memory of all those who have given their lives for the cause of the Palestinian people, the master of ceremonies said. [2]

It sounds like the U.N. is aiding and abetting a terrorist hosting country. They are not representing the safety concerns of the free world. They are currently represent the world powers that would negate Israel. This means they are not friends of the western world.

Sorry to ask in such simple terms, but the illustration has to be made. People just don't understant that the U.N. are not our friends. They have been subverted by enemies of the free world.

What will happen when the "peacekeeping" troops who coddle to these enemies set up shop in Lebanon? The U.N. recently made a bid to undermine the 2nd amendment in the U.S. They also tried to impose an international tax on us as well.

U.N. , cash-starved setting up shop in the buffer zones in conflicted areas: do you have any idea what kinds of businesses flourish in these particular areas (Afghanistan, Lebanon, Iraq in the future, etc.)?

They do not have a track record that warrants any trust at this point.

Problem is - all these deadlines are endless lifelines for Iran - and potential deathlines for Israel

Reminds me of the Henny Youngman joke about the old lady who was given by her doctor only 6 months to live. She didn't pay her bill so he gave her another 6 months.

Speaking of Henny Youngman jokes, this whole war with islam in the dhimmi west reminds me of his classic:

Two people, Tony Blair and his wife, Sherry, are walking down a London street at night. An islamic militant comes up behind them and presses the blade of a knife against his back demanding, "Your liberty, or your life!"

To which Tony immediately capitulates, "Take my wife, please!"

And that is exactly what a dhimmi would say.

(P.S. But can you blame him?)

Another date to keep your eye on is August 3, 2006 -- as it is the 9th of AB (AV) in the Hebrew Calendar.

In the past this has been a day of doom for Israel, and it's quite possible that Hezbollah/Iran/Syria are planning to mark this historic day with another BIG event. Lets hope not!

Thug in chief says,

``Iranians today possess the nuclear know-how,''

"If some believe they can use the language of force and threats they are badly mistaken, and if they don't realize it now they will when their head hits a stone. "
