Iran rejects proposal aimed at breaking nuclear deadlock

ImageTehran, Iran, Nov. 28 – Iran rejected late Monday European requests that it move parts of its nuclear enrichment program out of the country and allow enrichment of uranium to be carried out in Russia.
The EU-3 – France, Germany, and the United Kingdom – which suspect that Tehran’s nuclear program is for military purposes and are negotiating with Iran to reach a solution, had suggested that the Islamic Republic carry out uranium enrichment – the precursor for the development of an atomic bomb – in Russia to alleviate international fears that it was developing a nuclear weapon.

    Things are rapidly unfolding about Iran’s nuclear standoff. As the IAEA board was meeting in Vienna, November 24th, thousands of demonstrators gathered outside to call for the referral of Iran to the UN Security Council.

    Media reports convey that US intelligence agencies are quite convinced that Iran is working to build nuclear weapons in secret based on a confidential report produced last week by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and on information from a former Iranian opposition figure.

    Iraqi insurgency continues as US troops spend their second thanksgiving holiday in Iraq. A car bomb explodes killing 30 and wounding 40 including 4 American soldiers who reportedly were handing our candies and food.

  • Iraqi jails, Iranian supervision
  • FOH invites you to join the Protest in Vienna

  • Signing the petition on our website, one of our friends writes:

    “I understand that other countries have different ideas about justice and different cultures follow different views, but cruel and inhuman punishment is wrong no matter what planet you live on or whose rules you follow!”

    True. Human values and basic rights are common sense, no matter where you are.

    Dictators and rogue governments try to use cultural differences to justify their wrong doings. The world community should not fall into this trap.

    Those who use culture, religion and particularly God as an excuse for their actions against humanity, know nothing about those subjects.

    Iraqi jails, Iranian supervision

    Iraqi Interior Ministry runs six secret jails under Iranian supervision, a regional television network, Al- Arabia, reported Saturday.

    Montazer Sameraee, former high ranking officer of Iraqi special forces in the interior ministry told Al- Arabia that interior ministry has a secret force.

    These forces have arrested many people in different parts of the country and transferred them to the ministry. The families unable to find their loved ones in any detention facility would receive information about their body being found in streets.

    “All arrests are done without any court orders”, Sameraee adds.

    The interrogator in the ministry is a man named Ahmad Salman. He is an Iranian and a captain of Iranian information ministry.

  • FOH invites you to join the Protest in Vienna

  • As it was explained in our first issue, at FOH, we are trying to inform our readers about an ever growing threat called: “Fundamentalism.”

    Fundamentalism in Middle East brings poverty and oppression for the people of that region and to the whole world brings “terrorism.”

    War will not solve this problem, as you may see, but freedom and democracy will. It will bring knowledge and information to people so they may move away from backward ideologies that nourish on blood of innocent.

    Iran speeds up work on Natanz nuclear site

    We have been informed by “Iran Focus” through an exclusive report that a secret construction work is going on right now in Iran’s massive nuclear enrichment facility in Natanz, central Iran. The construction includes more than a dozen new buildings being built, Iran focus reports.

    Iran Focus reports that it received the information from an Iranian engineer whose identity is being withheld as he lives in Iran. He provided Iran Focus with an account of 17 silos and bunkers being built in continuous shifts. The silos are all 24 meters high and have various-shaped entrances.

    Thirty construction contractors are carrying out the project. Workers are working 24 hours a day in several shifts.

    The source said that security at the site had been boosted to an unprecedented level following the recent visit by hard-line Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

    Mobile telephone contacts are banned for those working on the site. Workers are living in complete isolation from the outside world for the duration of the contract. They are only permitted to contact their families once in a while to let them know that they are well. Every worker has been asked to sign a pledge to remain on site until work has been completed.

    The source claimed that the buildings were being constructed to house new components and sensitive technology required for carrying out uranium enrichment at the site.

    Tehran has currently suspended uranium enrichment as negotiations with Europe’s Britain, France, and Germany continue over what the West suspects is a nuclear weapons program.
