| Is there something going on again? In the last few days Iran announced the activation of a second set of centrifuges.
Israel announced a new post, Minister for Strategic Threats, for Avigdor Liebermann, a right-winger.
Today Saudi Arabia asked the coalition forces to come to its aid to defend against sea-based attack on its oil terminals in the Gulf.
Yesterday and Monday UN Security Council meetings taking place to agree sanctions on Iran with US/UK/French proposal opposed by Russia and China.

| Re: Is there something going on again? I saw something about Syria stepping up their military "readiness". Things could happen in that region anytime. |
