UN gives Iran another month

In the infinite wisdom, the United Nations has given Iran until Aug. 31 end their uranium enrichment program.

Of course Iran rejected it:

Iran immediately rejected the council action, saying the resolution would only make negotiations more difficult over a package of incentives offered in June for it to suspend enrichment.

"All along it has been the persistence of some to draw arbitrary red lines and deadlines that has closed the door to any compromise," Iran's ambassador to the United Nations, Javad Zarif, said. "This tendency has singlehandedly blocked success and in most cases killed proposals in their infancy."

"This approach will not lead to any productive outcome and in fact it can only exacerbate the situation," he said.

Ah, yes, another "showdown" in the Middle Ease. Just what the world needed.

At least we can bomb them there, so we don't have to bomb them here.
