The Russian, American last Statements about the Iranian Nuclear Project.

In his last meeting with Ihud Barak, the American President, Bush made it clear that everything should be done to prevent the Iranians from holding a nuclear weapon, he said that if the Iranians get nuclear weapons in there hands, a third world war could start. It is not a new thing to hear this statement from the American president, specially that it is a common thing to see the cooperation between the United States and Israel to prevent any improvement in the Syrian-Iranian weapon filed, that could be a direct threat to the American-Israeli interests in the region.But the real weird statement was the Russian president one that is not clear. Putin, the Russian president, visited Iran yesterday, and said that Russia would never accept on any strike on Iran, and that no force should be used in solving the Iranian Nuclear issues. Putin invited Ahmadi Najad, the Iranian president to come and visit Russia. The press said today, that Putin introduced a new plan to end the Iranian Nuclear problem, but the Iranians are still denying it. After this friendly visit to Iran, and promise not to use force against it, the Russian president met with Ihud Olmert, the Israeli Prime minister yesterday. In this meeting, Putin made a promise to Israel, that Russia would not support the Iranians in building and obtaining a nuclear weapon. Another sources said that Ihud Olmert asked from the Russians to end a planned deal with the Syrians, to give them rockets that could become a threat on the Israeli aircraft. Russia made promises to the both sides, the Israeli and the Iranian, so what is this clever president trying to do by this. Putin is known for his well planning of returning Russia to the first class super powers in the world, and that he strongly refuses the moves that the United States does in order to make the Russian influence less in the former Soviet Union states. So would he really be a good friend of Israel, the best friend of the United States in the region, or would he start thinking of supporting a new power in the Middle East like Iran. Putin even started planning for his position in the Russian Government after the coming elections; he is planning to be the Prime Minister and support a weak President so he can stay in control in an appropriate legal way.

The Iranians only care now to obtain Nuclear Weapons with any price they will be paying for it, because they are sure that once they get these weapons, it will be hard for any State to face them.

I do believe that Russia will keep on being Neutral at the moment, as it always did since the Soviet Union collapsed, in order not to mess up with anyone, BUT if there would be a good moment to make a real shift and return to the first class powers, it wont hesitate in supporting any new upcoming power. Maybe it will follow the secret work plan until things become clearer.

Are the Syrians doing any Nuclear or Atomic Activities?

Today some Press sources like the Washington Post, was talking about the remains of the body or aim that Israel hit in Syria a few weeks ago. It said that the Syrians hided these remains, and misled the press by taking them to shoot another place, claiming that what Israel destroyed was nothing, and that no military activities are being held in this area. The Washington Post said, that satellite pictures were captured and shows a small atomic or nuclear active body that is similar to the North Korean Nuclear items, and that was what Israel really wanted to destroy in the Syrian lands.What I believe is that Israel and the United States are starting a press campaign, accusing the Syrians of attempts to hold Nuclear or atomic weapons in order to make it easier or lets say more convincing when they take a decision of attacking it.

The November Peace Conference, is there a chance?

On the other side, the faith in the November Peace conference is become weaker and weaker every day. Today Saeb Erekat, the Palestinian negotiator says for the first time, that there will not be a final peace paper in this conference, and only a plan will be wrote of how to reach a final agreement. Even Condoleezza Rice said that it is better not to hope much improvement from this Conference. Abu Mazen said that it will be even difficult to go to this Conference, and the reason I think is that how he would explain to his people the failure or lets say not getting the minimum from this conference after all the promises he gave to his people if they follow his program, the peace program. Lets not lose hope, still there are secret negotiations happening between the both sides, and no one knows what did each side offer to the other, the door is still opened and there may be a chance for a change, but not in November.
