(submission) Ayatollah's Nuclear Defiance, page 1

I see everyone running around wondering what Ahmadinejad's is going to do like the he is the top official in Iran. This is simply not the case. The person who should be watched is Ayatollah Khamenei. Ahmadinejad must go through him.

Times Online
IRAN’S supreme leader reaffirmed yesterday that the country would press ahead with its pursuit of nuclear energy, suggesting that it would make no concessions to US and European demands before today’s deadline.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said: "The Islamic Republic of Iran has made its decision and, in the issue of nuclear energy, will continue its path powerfully. It will receive the sweet fruits of its efforts."

I don't have crystal ball so I don't know for sure where all this going, but the more time goes on the more it looks like the world is about to explode into war. I look for the major 24 hour news networks here (the US) to not say much on Khamenei's statements. However, when Ahmadinejad says something to the same effect it will be blasted for hours.
