IAEA: Iran accelerating nuclear development

The IAEA said in a report on Friday that Iran had increased the number of uranium-enriching centrifuges at its site in Natanz. According to the report, the number stood at 4,920 at the end of last month, 1,000 more than there were 4 months earlier. The IAEA said Iran is also accelerating its nuclear development by increasing the rate of production of low-enriched uranium, which can be used to make nuclear weapons.

Medvedev: stopping nuke proliferation is priority

With the North Korean nuclear test in mind, Medvedev said proliferation of nuclear weapons threatens humankind. He emphasized the need to monitor nuclear development around the world to the greatest extent possible.

UNSC needs more time for talks on N.Korea

The 5 permanent members of the Security Council plus Japan and South Korea are discussing details of a new resolution aimed at punishing North Korea. The 7 countries are said to be in dispute over several points, such as how clearly they should invoke Chapter 7 of the UN Charter to authorize sanctions against the North. They are also arguing on how far freight inspections of North Korean ships should be enhanced. Some of the countries have not yet decided their positions on the issue. China's deputy envoy to the UN said he is still waiting for instructions from his government.

Lebanon readies for tight poll race

The election will largely by fought between the Hezbollah-dominated "March 8" alliance and the ruling Western-backed "March 14" coalition.

Although the election race is expected to be tight, with no single party securing a comfortable victory, analysts believe Hezbollah has a good chance of gaining a parliamentary majority for the first time.

But most analysts predict the outcome is likely to be a national unity government - albeit one in which Hezbollah has a strong hand - with little change likely in government policy.

The Christian vote - divided between the two camps - looks set to tip the scale, with a handful of key battleground constituencies likely to be crucial in determining the elections outcome.

Obama admits U.S. involvement in 1953 Iran coup

U.S. President Barack Obama made a major gesture of conciliation to Iran on Thursday when he admitted U.S. involvement in the 1953 coup which overthrew the government of Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh.

“In the middle of the Cold War, the United States played a role in the overthrow of a democratically elected Iranian government,” Obama said in a keynote speech to the Muslim world in Cairo.

It was the first time a serving U.S. president had publicly admitted American involvement in the coup.

The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, with British backing, masterminded the coup after Mossadegh nationalized the oil industry, run until then by the British-owned Anglo-Iranian Oil Company.

For many Iranians, the coup demonstrated duplicity by the United States, which presented itself as a defender of freedom but did not hesitate to use underhand methods to get rid of a democratically elected government to suit its own economic and strategic interests.

Washington went on to become the major backer of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who was overthrown in the Islamic Revolution of 1979.

Relations between the two countries have been severed ever since the Revolution.

But since he took office earlier this year, Obama has made repeated overtures to Iran, offering it a dialogue on its nuclear program and other outstanding issues.

On Thursday Obama did not conceal the extent of the differences between the two governments but emphasized his readiness to try to overcome them through diplomacy.

“For many years, Iran has defined itself in part by its opposition to my country, and there is in fact a tumultuous history between us,” the U.S. president said.

“Rather than remain trapped in the past, I've made it clear to Iran's leaders and people that my country is prepared to move forward. The question now is not what Iran is against, but rather what future it wants to build.”

Shortly after Obama's inauguration on January 20, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad demanded apologies for crimes he said the United States had committed against Iran, starting with the 1953 coup.

Arab American Institute President James Zogby said that although Obama's admission of U.S. involvement in the coup added little to historical knowledge as it was already well known, it remained an important gesture to Iran.

“There is no surprise,” Zogby said when asked about the fact of CIA involvement,

But he added that Obama's admission of it was a “very important statement, it's the beginning of closing the chapter.”
