UN: ‘Iran humiliates US-Canada’

NOVANEWS On May 26, 2011 – Islamic Republic was re-elected to the 47-member United Nations’ Commission on Population and Development with a majority vote for the next four-year-term despite feverish anti-Iran campaign at United Nations by Washington and Ottawa. The two pro-Israel governments lead by Barack Obama and Stephen Harper used a number of diplomatic maneuvers to try to persuade the member states of the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) to vote Islamic Republic out of the commission but failed miserably as was the case last time. American envoy, Zionist Susan Rice, said that his country was “deeply disappointed” that the UN Economic and Social Council voted to extend Iran’s membership in the council’s Commission on Population and Development. Tehran terminated its diplo...

Gates: ‘Iraq needs US forces to defend ME from Iran’

NOVANEWS On May 24, 2011 – the outgoing US Secretary of Defense, Robert M. Gates, addressed the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), a neocon think tank headed by radical Jew Arthur C. Brooks with Islamophobe members such as John Bolton, Newt Gingrich, Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, Michael Novak and Ayaan Hirsi ali to name a few. Robert Gates’ last major rant sent alarm to his pro-Israel hawkish audience that the country’s “bleak fiscal outlook” is likely to force the Pentagon to shrink the size of the armed forces. The Obama administration has proposed a $553 billion budget (down from the current $708 billion) for the Pentagon next year, excluding the cost of the on-going wars in Afghanistan and Iraq which has already cost over $1.1 trillion to US taxpayers since 2001. Ho...

Iran’s Ahmadinejad survives worst storm of his presidency

NOVANEWS Istanbul, Turkey – Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has survived one of the most turbulent political storms of his seven-year presidency, a stand-off with Iran’s supreme religious leader that caused some to believe he would be impeached or forced to resign as early as this past weekend. But Mr. Ahmadinejad arrived in Istanbul today for an international conference as planned, after accusing political enemies of dirty tricks and brushing off his weeks-long defiance of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. At issue was a tussle over the key post of the Intelligence minister and the powerful role of Ahmadinejad’s chief of staff and in-law, Esfandiar Rahim Mashaie. The feud drew a rare public rebuke of Ahmadinejad from Khamenei, whose unqualified support of the president’s disput...
