Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu’s visit to Iran doesn’t appear to have gone well. The rhetoric is all Turkey’s — and in a subtle way, Iranian official media have been gently mocking at it. The fact is, Turkey cannot afford such poor relations with almost all its neighbours — Iran, Syria, Iraq, Armenia, Cyprus, Israel. With France and EU, too, things are rocky.

Il y a moins de deux semaines environ, Amina bint Abdul Halim Ben Salem Nasser, une Saoudienne de 60 ans, a été exécutée dans la province du Jawf (nord du pays) pour avoir “pratiqué la sorcellerie”, a indiqué le ministère de l’Intérieur saoudien dans un communiqué diffusé par la SPA, l’agence de presse officielle du royaume. Elle a été accusée par la police religieuse de tromper des gens en prétendant pouvoir les guérir de leurs maladies contre de l’argent. Elle aurait ainsi facturé ses services jusqu’à 800 $ par session. Condamnée à la mort par décapitation, une peine exécutée, nous n’avons pas entendu nos donneurs de leçons. Elle n’a tué pourtant personne. Mais voilà le retour de la peine de mort par lapidation, que dis-je, par pendaison de Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani qui revient sur le devant de la scène. Ambiance.

Dec. 9, 2011 (EIRNS)—Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, interviewed today on Vesti-24 television, stated that “We have warned the Israeli side against, as I would put it, sliding toward possibly deciding to launch a military operation” against Iran.
He was answering a question about what was discussed when Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman met in Moscow with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on Dec. 7. Ryabkov added,
“We would not want a lack of progress in the negotiations area to become an incentive for moving in this direction. We believe that the negotiations resource has not been exhausted.”
He also noted that Russia itself is continuing contact with the relevant parties, and that Iran’s Supreme National Security Council head Saeed Jalili was in Moscow today.
