#1 Iran holds tough line against the EU

It's not as if it would be a difficult thing to do...

#3 EU diplomats said the likely outcome would be a decision, taken back in EU capitals, on whether to meet again in January.

That'll show the bastards!

#4 ... and the West says its cooperation since has fallen short of what is needed to regain diplomatic confidence.

It's not like that's a high bar to clear. Just agree to an inspection of facilities of your own choosing on a date of your own choosing and make sure nothing else is looked at. That's usually more than enough for the IAEA.

Beyond their obvious apocalyptic wet dreaming, I'm sure the MMs are simply enjoying the act of toying with the EU like a cat with a wounded mouse.

#5 The Iranian foreign minister also was quoted as saying, "Fuck you, you pussies", and "We'll bomb your asses of the face of the earth with the Zionist pigs."

#6 At least Europe was able to get tough on the US. Maybe next time they can get tough on a wanna be terrorist nuclear power?

#8 YEAH SERIOUSLY!!!!! Stringent sanctions need to be passed immediately. If China or Russia threatens to veto the move, I say we let them know that it would spark a major diplomatic crisis with the U.S. government. OBVIOUSLY IRAN IS VIOLATING THE NON-PROLIFERATION TREATY AND ALL NORMS SET UP BY THE INTERNATIONAL NUCLEAR NON-PROLIFERATION REGIME!!! However, if the world lacks the balls to do what has to be done, there is pretty much no doubt Israel will!!!!
