Iran: Will Israel Get An International Embargo?

The Jerusalem Post carries the statement of a senior Israeli diplomatic official that "the international community is starting to come to the understanding that Iran has been lying to everybody about its nuclear intentions."

The confidence of this argument lies in the completion of a United Nations' nuclear test detection station in Turkmenistan, just a few kilometers from the Iranian border. The 337th facility of the International Monitoring System is expected to be active by 2010.

The Israeli official asserted, "The Iranian issue is finally gaining ground in the international community." He added, "Luckily, Iran itself is decimating the efforts of even its most vociferous defenders to help it avoid international criticism."
