Entries in Iran (9)
Make no mistake, this has been a humiliation for Britain ...
Good piece in the Daily Mail:
"...it was inevitably unsettling to hear two officers in the Royal Marines - a service renowned for its toughness - publicly admitting fault, and paying compliments to the Iranians. The thought entered my mind, no doubt disloyally, that American marines might not have confessed and apologised on camera. How could that be so?"

World powers consider steps to Iran sanctions
LONDON (Reuters) - "Foreign ministers from six world powers convene in London on Friday to discuss Iran's
nuclear program, with the United States, backed by Britain, suggesting it is time to consider a sanctions resolution against Tehran."
But of course there's resistance from Russia and China. This has been discussed and discussed, deadline after deadline.
Smacks of '"you just wait till your father gets home, then you'll be in trouble!"

Remember the reports about the convoy of radioactive materials, on the way to Iran, that were stopped by the Bulgarians in July.? Now Janes Defence postulates that perhaps they were meant for Hezbollah.
"As the Bulgarian interception involved radiological rather than nuclear-weapons-related materials, it is possible that non-state actors were the intended beneficiaries. As Hizbullah is the main non-state group with access to an increasingly devastating range of Iranian-supplied weapons and is backed by an intransigent and extremist Iranian president willing to fight a proxy war against Israel, it cannot be ruled out that it would be a possible recipient of non-conventional weapons or the materials to fabricate them.

"On board they found ten lead-lined boxes addressed to the Iranian Ministry of Defence. Inside each box was a soil-testing device, containing highly dangerous quantities of radioactive caesium 137 and americium-beryllium. The soil testers had been sent to Iran by a British firm with the apparent export approval of the Department of Trade and Industry. The documentation listed the shipment as destined for the Ministry of Transport in Tehran, although the final delivery address was the Iranian Ministry of Defence. In August last year there was a similar incident when a Turkish truck carrying a ton of zirconium silicate supplied by a British firm was stopped by Bulgarian customs at the Turkish border on its way to Tehran, after travelling from Britain, through Germany and Romania, without being stopped. Daily Mail UK
Kathryn Cramer , Counterterrorism Blog and others have thoroughly covered the specific incident.
But as pointed out in my initial post above, the connection to Hezbollah is what is more than disconcerting.
