Let me start by apologizing: sorry for the general link, there doesn’t seem to be a specific link to the article yet.
Anyway, is this reason for concern?
Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh received a promise from Iran of extensive economic aid, cash, military cooperation, and also good news, from his perspective.
Lower your profile, calm the situation, the Iranians told Haniyeh. In four months we’re going to issue a statement that will dramatically change the strategic balance in the Middle East.
According to Israeli intelligence, the Iranians have promised to make an important announcement at the next Persian new year, which begins the third week in March 2007.
We’re all waiting for Iran to announce that it has developed a nuclear bomb of course. This could be it. On the other hand, it could be something different and it could be mere gossip.
However, assuming that there is at least some truth to it… it doesn’t sound good to me. If Iran announces something that will change the balance in the region, it can’t possibly be good for Israel nor for the West and is, as such, always reason for concern.
