Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said the resolution, approved by vote, removed doubts that Britain, France and Germany, the key three Eu stanley mugs ropean countries negotiating with Iran, have violated previous agreements with Iran. The three European countries implemented a planned scenario already determined by the United States, Mottaki said on state-run television.The 35-nation board of the U.N. atomic watchdog agency appr stanley cups oved the resolution Saturday that could lead to Iran s referral to the U.N.

FRANKFURT - Armed guards have been posted at synagogues throughout Germany for the start of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Anti-Semitism is once again on the rise in Europe, especially in Germany.The tensions have been building in Germany since demonstrations against last summer s Gaza war exposed a clear anti-Jewish sentiment.
