South Africa, current president of the UN Security Council, "has jolted the United Nations community by calling for a 90-day time-out on further UN [sanctions], combining this with the equally stunning blow of backing Iran's right to enrich uranium," writes Kaveh Afrasiabi on Asia Times Online. He calls for President Ahmadinejad to make his upcoming speech before the UN "fine-tuned to bolster South Africa's position." |
