They're actually halting voluntary cooperation with the IAEA. The poor genocidal dears feel as if they're being picked on. "Iran to halt voluntary cooperation with IAEA," from the Tehran Times, November 29:
TEHRAN - Iran officially announced that it will cease its voluntary cooperation with the IAEA after the agency's Board of Governors adopted a resolution against Iran on Friday under pressure by Western countries.Iran said the drafters of the anti-Iran resolution made a historic mistake and advised the West to discard its policy of confrontation with Tehran.
"To show its goodwill, the Islamic Republic of Iran has so far taken steps beyond its commitments, but this resolution will cause Iran to cooperate with the agency only within the framework of the NPT (nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty)," Ali Asghar Soltanieh, Iran's ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency, said on Friday.
"The Board of Governors' resolution will disrupt the current atmosphere of cooperation and will cause Iran to discontinue its voluntary cooperation which went beyond its commitments," Soltanieh told the Mehr News Agency.
Twenty-five members of the 35-nation board, including Russia and China, voted in favor of the resolution. The resolution criticized Iran for beginning construction of a new uranium enrichment facility at Fordo, which is near Qom, and demanded that it immediately halt its construction. It also criticized Iran for defying a UN Security Council call for it to suspend uranium enrichment.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry also issued a statement on Friday saying Iran sees no need to commit itself to voluntary cooperation with the agency since its fundamental rights as an NPT signatory are not being observed.
The Foreign Ministry called the adoption of the resolution a futile attempt to impose pressure on the Islamic Republic.[...]
"The adoption of this resolution is not only unhelpful for improving the current situation, but it will jeopardize the conducive environment vitally needed for success in the process of the Geneva and Vienna negotiations, expected to lead to a common understanding," Soltanieh told the IAEA meeting. [...]
He added, "We are sure that the authors of the anti-Iran resolution made a historic mistake and will soon discover their mistake."
The ambassador said, "The Westerners must have learned (something) from their previous behavior toward Iran, and they must know that they will receive a negative response if they use aggressive language with Iran."
Iranian aggressive, genocidal rhetoric toward Israel is just fine, mind you. Just don't start complaining about it.
I'd like to see a betting pool for wagering on the first occurrance of any of the following before 1/1/2012:
1) Israel bombs Iran.
2) The US bombs Iran.
3) Israel and the US bomb Iran.
4) Iran gets nukes.
5) Iran uses nukes.
6) Iran doesn't have nukes by the deadline.
I'll take number 1 on that list happily Alex.
They must be very close, and tired of dealing with the pesky IAEA.
I'm assuming the odds on my bet won't let me retire?
i would move 4and 5 to 1 and 2
I'm expecting:
Iran gets a nuke.
Iran nukes Tel Aviv or perhaps Haifa.
Obama's America moves to defend Iran.
Israel nukes a dozen parts of Iran.
"unhelpful" and "counterproductive" simply means opposing the Islamic nightmare.
Israel is Islam's worst nightmare. As long as it exists, it proves that Islam is a failure, a fraudulent cult. Therefore Israel must be destroyed, at any cost.

“We are not fighting so that you will offer us something. We are fighting to eliminate you.”

We know that even if they succeed to destroy Israel, the jihad will not stop.
Ahhh, Sheik Yer'Mami! Are you saying that as long as we allow the existence of izlum to continue on planet Earth that muzzle-ems will NOT stop their war on everyone else?
Are you saying that izlum exists in a state of war against all of the rest of humanity and always has?[and always will?] Hmmmm, if that's the intended message then I think (maybe) the rest of the world is slowly catching on - thanks to folks like you and Robert and Hugh and Marisol and other commenters here.
Hmmmmm, what would happen if many of the non-muzzle-ems of the world came together in union against izlum? Wait! You mean that's already happening? (just not fast enough) You mean to say that people all over the world are recognizing that they have a common enemy in the lies of izlum?
You mean to say that Christians and Jews and Pagans and Wiccans and Buddhists and Hindus and Sikhists and Atheists and EX-muzzle-ems and Russians and Americans and Brazilians and Chinese and Brits and Aussies and East Indians and Africans and folks from ALL over the world are coming together against this common enemy - this vile, despicable, wretched, fascist, supremacist, hate-filled political ideology - to remove it from the shores of freedom loving peoples?
You mean - we could DO that? Hey! I like the idea! What do you say that - to de-fund the proselytizers of izlum - we end the strategic importance of oil?
[check] - workin' on that
- share with the whole world the truth about izlum?
[check] Robert & co. are doing an AWESOME job of that
- find medium[s] in common to share ideas for the removal of izlum
[check] YouTube, this website, other websites, ham radio, commercial broadcast radio, television, newspapers, email...
- build world-wide organizations at the grass roots level to bring people together for political action against izlum
[check] Act for America is just one of many...
So, Sheik Yer'Mami, it looks like when people recognize that they really have NO CHOICE but to take the war BACK TO izlum, that they WILL and they DO and they ARE!
Imagine.... izlum brought this all onto itself. But I really don't mind that JW & Co (and us loyal fans) helped, just a little bit. And I think we've got LOTS of work to do...
Wonderin1
they will receive a negative response if they use aggressive language with Iran."
Iran defines aggressive language from kufr as anything other than...'Yes sir'...And 'Yes sir, your Highness'...done with a deep bow, Rasool Obama style...Be sure and bring some jizya cash...
