EU to Iran: We're Still Thinking of Sanctions. Don't Think We're Not.
How totally useless:
The European Union could impose sanctions on Iran if efforts to take the Islamic republic to the United Nations Security Council fail, warned Austrian Ambassador to Israel Kurt Hengl, whose country assumes the EU presidency Sunday. "If Iran, instead of saying, 'We want to talk,' says, 'We don't need to talk, do what you want,' Europe will have to do something," Hengl told The Jerusalem Post.
Iran says that their response will be "crushing" if the United States or Israel dare to stop them from trying to get the weapons to launch a crushing (and genocidal) attack. And with a shiny new military furnished courtesy of Russia, that threat is not exactly empty. Best part of the arms deal was the Russian denial:
Russia rejected Israeli claims that Hizbollah is using Russian-made missiles sold to Syria... A Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman said Russia monitors the weapons it sells in a way that does not allow for the transfer of arms as Israel charged.
Seriously - because there's no way that Russia would ever supply missiles to be shot at Israel.
