Times Now
it's a blockade against Iran The call this week in a US
media report for the George W Bush administration to drop its diplomatic
efforts to get Tehran to freeze its uranium-enrichment program and instead
mount a "month-long naval blockade of Iran's imports of refined
gasoline" is as much a threat to Iran as it is to US Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice. - Jim Lobe Syrian talks
offer more than hot air Reaction
to the tentative peace talks between Syria and Israel ranges from high
optimism that an accord will be signed this year to skepticism that no deal
can ever be brokered as long as the George W Bush administration remains cool
to the idea. Beyond any tangible deal, though, the talks send a message from
the Syrians to the Iranians, as well as to the wider world, that they want to
move forward. - Sami Moubayed Washington Post U.S. Cites Big Gains Against Al-Qaeda

At a United Nations conference in
Sweden Thursday, Iraq appealed for debt forgiveness to boost development. Asia Times A giant backward step on Iran
The International Atomic Energy Agency's latest report on Iran - like
previous ones - gives no evidence of safeguard breaches by Tehran in its
nuclear program, that is, there is no move towards it making nuclear weapons.
Yet the uncharacteristic - and sudden - negative tone of the report has
played right into the hands of those who thirst in their desire to accuse
Iran of nuclear proliferation. - Kaveh L Afrasiabi ( The Economist A

the nick of time If the recent entry of 12 new EU members had been
delayed much longer, it might never have happened, argues David Rennie

President Ilham Aliyev has recently stepped up his ongoing campaign to
promote Azerbaijan as the key to Europe’s energy security at a recent energy
summit in Kyiv. But this is a role in which Baku needs a supporting actor.

of the Mosque-State Debate BY NICHOLAS BIRCH In early May, Olli Rehn,
the European Union’s enlargement commissioner, characterized the ongoing
domestic political struggle in Turkey as pitting "extreme
secularists" against "Muslim democrats." There are numerous
experts in Turkey who are disputing Rehn’s analysis. They contend that the
political struggle -- which is now centering on a Supreme Court case on a
possible ban of the governing Justice and Development Party (AKP) -- is more
