ABU DHABI (IRNA) -- Deputy Foreign Minister Mehdi Mostafavi and Deputy Emir and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Sheikh Mohammad ben Rashid al-Maktoum stressed Monday expansion of relations between Iran and UAE in all areas.

Mostafavi lauded al-Maktoum on his efforts in strengthening bilateral ties and invited him for a state visit to Tehran.

Mostafavi also briefed the Dubai's ruler on the Iranians positions on Iraq and Palestinians developments, and described the trend of Iran-Russia talks on Tehran resolve in acquiring peaceful nuclear technology.

As an aside, Sheikh Mohammad ben Rashid al-Maktoum owns controlling interest in Dubai Ports World.

1. I wonder if this is going to change Bush's mind?

Doubtful.

2. Change his mind? It's just another step in the admin's plan

Why not give our ports to the guy who's getting all chummy with Iran, and facilitated social events between Osama and the UAE royal family?

3. Port Deal Pales In Comparison To Ptech

The UAE's connections to 9/11 need to be fully investigated, as does Ptech- and 9/11 itself, considering the Commission is a fraud

4. Either a spectacularly inept and ill-timed move on the UAE's part,

or just a brazen, in-your-face move 'cause they know they've got Bush** by the... well, whatever he's got down there.

6. ***PETITION TO SIGN: NO WAR WITH IRAN ***

Hello,

For the past year, the growing tensions mounting between the US, Israel, and Iran are reaching a point where military action against Iran is w/in months of becoming reality. The repercussions are terrifying as such military action could involve countries such as China and Russia as they share massive energy/economic interests w/ Iran. The most likely scenario we would face would be the collapse of the US economy as the combination of a massive rise in oil prices and a run on the US dollar would surely be the weapon many countries would use to fight back against a preemptive US or Israeli strike.

I'm starting up a petition which I will be sending out to as many members of Congress as possible. I'm asking for help to get this signed by as many people, possible in the next month. Send it to as many people you can.
