Russia warned Iran Monday to expect delays in launching the country's
first atomic power station, adding to mounting pressure on Tehran to
compromise with the international community over its controversial
nuclear program.

Harold Feiveson, co-Director of the Woodrow Wilson School's Program on
Science and Global Security at Princeton University, has observed that
while Russia's threat to cut off support for Iran's nuclear program will
surely increase pressure on Iran to knuckle under to international
pressure, the Russian threat might, conversely, increase Iran's
determination to escape reliance on outside support for its nuclear
program, and thereby harden its commitment to its own nuclear
independence. _

Losing Jerusalem*

*If we examine the headlines in the Palestinian media in recent years,
there is hardly any doubt that Jerusalem is the key issue on the agenda.
Sometimes there's talk of restrictions on Muslims worshiping at the
Al-Aqsa Mosque; sometimes there's talk of the purchase of more Arab
houses by associations of religious settlers. And at the end of last
week there were more reports of Muslim protests against the work at the
Mugrabi Bridge, and violent demonstrations at the Qalandiya checkpoint
in northern Jerusalem as well as at the crossing point to Bethlehem in
the south.
