President Barack Obama and the leaders of France and Britain declared Friday that the revelation of a previously secret Iranian nuclear facility puts heavy new pressure on Tehran to quickly disclose all its nuclear efforts — including any moves toward weapons development — "or be held accountable."

I wonder if this had anything to do with the announcement.

hmm. interesting, but why would the Germans, French, and Brits react negatively to this? in Germany and France's case, seems like this development would be in their interest. For Britain a moot point.

Wouldn't a weaker dollar cause European exports to the US to cost more?

"It is not yet operational but the U.S. believes it will be by next year, said a U.S. counterproliferation official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly."
So, the Iranians construct a new facility and then declare it to the IAEA before it becomes operational. Sounds like they're playing by the rules. All the rest is Zionist and FedGov agitprop.

The currency changeover had been in the works for some time, and the FedGov regards the switch as an attempt to undermine the dollar as the petroleum reserve currency. The FedGov would be correct, and that's really just too bad for them. It's an excellent move by the Iranians, who have zero incentive to stay with the dollar regime, and as a bonus they get to help kick the last props out from under the FedGov play money.

Here we go again. It's Iraq all over again. The same bellicose pronouncements with ridiculous demands and time lines that the other party must adhere to… never mind all the hoops they'd jumped through before based on false assertions and outright lies. Get ready folks.

I like how Iran sent the letter to the IAEA and is being chastised for it.
