Thai police arrested a suspect linked to Iran-backed terror group Hezbollah, Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung told reporters. Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra confirmed that police had made an arrest. “The situation is normal,” Police Chief Priewpan Damapong told reporters. “There is nothing to worry about.” INN News cited Chalerm as saying two suspects were arrested. The threat is probably related to U.S. moves to sanction Iran over its nuclear weapons program, according to Anthony Davis, a Bangkok-based yst at IHS Jane’s. *ブルームバーグの報道ではタイで逮捕されたのはレバノン人のヒズボラ系のテロリスト(容疑)であるという。このテロと いうのは、イランへの経済制裁に関連して米国系の対象にテロを行うべく計画したと推測されている
<イラン情報の更新> ttp://www.debka.com/article/21648/ US stations two aircraft carriers opposite Iran, 15,000 troops in Kuwait DEBKAfile Exclusive Report January 13, 2012, 12:00 PM (GMT+02:00) 米軍はイラン対抗のため空母2隻に加え、クエートに15000人の兵士を送る DEBKA、13日 US President Barack Obama is busy aligning Middle East allies with the next US steps on Iran. Contributing to the mounting sense in Washington of an approaching US-Iranian confrontation, the Pentagon is substantially building up its combat power around Iran, stationing nearly 15,000 troops in Kuwait - two Army infantry brigades and a helicopter unit ? and keeping two aircraft carriers the region. The USS Carl Vinson, the USS John Stennis which was to have returned to home base and their strike groups will stay in the Arabian Sea. Iran is caught up in the same pre-war swirl of activity. Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani spent two days in Ankara this week. But Turkish leaders failed in their bid to sell their good offices as brokers for averting the expected collision between Tehran and the West. Before flying out of Ankara Friday, Jan. 13, Larijani commented: "We have different ways of doing things." 米軍は空母2隻をアラビア海に置き、此れに加えてクエートに2つの歩兵旅団とヘリコプター部隊からなる15000人の兵士を送った。 トルコを訪問してイランと西側の調停を試みたイランの国会議長Ali Larijaniは、調停工作不調のままアンカラを離れた。 DEBKAfile's Iranian sources quote the Iranian official as telling his hosts that his country is prepared to take on any military aggressors. One of the responses weighed in Tehran to meet the rising military pressure might be an open declaration of Iran as a nuclear power. By accepting a visit by IAEA inspectors on Jan. 28 - to investigate charges that Iran is running a clandestine nuclear bomb program - Tehran may be moving toward that irreversible admission - or possibly its first nuclear test. DEBKA-Net-Weekly 528 disclosed exclusively on Nov. 25, 2011 that Iran may soon publicize its attainment of a nuclear weapon, a step still being debated intensely at the highest levels of the Islamic regime in Tehran. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who will make the ultimate decision, is very much in favor of facing the world as a nuclear -armed Islamic Republic. He calculates that this fait accompli has a good change of warding off a Western and/or Israeli military attack. DEBKAの週間ニュースレターは11月25日にイランは指導部高層で盛んに議論されている核爆弾製造について間もなく公言すると伝えた。 ハメネイ師は最終的判断を下すと見られるが、イランの核武装に強く傾いている。現在の機会にそうした方向を示すことは西欧や米国 やイスラエルに対して既成事実を作るのに好都合と見ている可能性がある。

Thursday night, Jan. 12, President Obama put in a call to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss coordinating US and Israeli moves for a military operation against Iran, which many US media believe to be imminent. The New York Times wrote Friday under the caption: Dangerous Tension with Iran, "Many officials, experts and commentators increasingly expect some kind of military confrontation." Obama had similar conversations with other Middle East leaders this week. The and Saudi and Qatari foreign ministers, Prince Saud al-Faisal and Sheikh Hamad al-Thani, spent two days on Jan. 10-11 in Washington talking to the US president. The contents of their talks were kept under tight wraps. Friday, British premier David Cameron suddenly turned up in Riyadh for talks with Saudi King Abdullah and Crown Prince Nayef. 12日にオバマ大統領はイスラエルのネタニヤフ首相と電話会談して政策協調を進めている。NYTは金曜日の記事で米国政府高官、専門 家、コメンテーターがイランに対して何らかの軍事的行動を予想していると書いている。オバマ大統領は今週、サウジアラビアや カタール外相とも会談している。Saud al-Faisal皇子とSheikh Hamad al-Thaniは10−11日にワシントンで大統領と会談した。会談 内容は極秘にされているが金曜日に英国のキャメロン首相が突然サウジアラビアを訪問し、アブドラ王とNayef皇太子と会談している。 Discussions on military preparations centering on Iran inevitably concern the need for urgent action to halt the unending carnage in Syria, Iran's close ally. 対イランの軍事的準備行動はシリアの最近の内紛とも関連し、内戦状況の停止のための行動が語られている。 Thursday, the Russian National Security Adviser Nikolai Patrushev, one of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's closest advisers, said ominously: "We are receiving information that NATO members and some Persian Gulf States working under the 'Libyan scenario' intend to move from indirect intervention in Syria to direct military intervention." Moscow has consistently spoken out against any foreign intervention in the Syrian conflict ? or even tough UN sanctions. Russia's NATO ambassador Dmitry Rogozin has suggested more than once that the West would use a military adventure in Syria as the jumping-off point for an attack on Iran. 木曜日にロシアの国家安全保障補佐官のNikolai Patrushev(プーチン首相の最も近しいアドバイザーの一人)は「我々の得ている 情報では一部のNATO加盟国やペルシャ湾岸諸国がシリアに対して、これまでの間接的関与から『リビア・シナリオ』のもとで直接的 干渉を行うよう計画している」と語った。ロシア政府は一貫としてシリアへの外国政府の干渉に反対の立場を取っている。また国連 安保理による、さらなる経済制裁に反対している。ロシアのNATO大使であるDmitry Rogozinは、西側諸国は此れまでもイラン攻撃の ジャンピング地点としてシリアに進行しているという。
Another sign that Syria is under the military eye of the West came from an indiscreet comment Israel's Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz made Tuesday, Jan. 10 in a briefing to a Knesset panel. Israel, he said, is preparing to absorb members of Bashar Assad's Alawite sect after his downfall. He later detracted his words. DEBKAfile disclose that the context of the general's comment was Israeli preparations to establish a buffer zone on the Syrian side of the Golan border to shelter Alawites fleeing the vengeance of their compatriots. イスラエルの参謀長のBenny Gantz中将は火曜日に、シリアからのAlawite派(シーア派の分派)の逃避に備えゴラン境界のシリア側 のバッファーゾーンにシェルターを設けるという案を示唆している。 Turkey too has gone back to talking about setting up in northern Syria a Turkish buffer zone for refugees and anti-Assad dissidents. トルコでもシリア北部のトルコ境界に反アサド政権の難民のバッファーゾーンを設ける計画について議論している。 Further fueling the war scare, two helmeted bombers on a motorbike assassinated the Iranian nuclear scientist Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan, deputy director of the Natanz uranium enrichment center, in central Tehran Wednesday. Friday, Ayatollah Khamenei accused the United States and Israel of a CIA-Mossad master plan, which Iranian sources claimed bore the title "Red Windows" and focused on training Iranian dissidents for hit and sabotage operations in Iran. テヘランで2人のヘルメットをかむったモータバイクの爆弾攻撃者がイランの核科学者(Natanzウラン濃縮センターの副所長)を戮 したことにつき、ハメネイ師は米国とイスラエルを非難しCIA-Mossadの計画であるとした。イランは米国やイスラエルが反体制イラ ン人をそうした攻撃のために訓練しているという。

But Noda, who took office in September as Japan's sixth prime minister in just five years, is quickly running out of bargaining chips to enact his key tax hikes in a bid to curb the nation's ballooning public debt, currently topping 200 percent of Japan's GDP, and if the Liberal Democratic Party-led opposition bloc opt to abstain from further talks with the DPJ on the issue, Noda will be forced to dissolve the lower house of parliament and call a snap election. *野田政権や日本の民主党について、世界で最も辛い点をつけている(赤旗とか労働新聞とか、そういうのは除外して考えた時) のが中国様の新華社の評論というのは、なにげに笑えるというか、なんというか・・・ With latest national surveys showing that 22.4 percent of voters backed the LDP against 20.7 for the DPJ, marking the first time the LDP had the lead since Noda took office, the question being asked among pundits now is which will happen first, will the the DPJ implode from the inside or be blown up from the outside? *国内メディアの異常な民主党応援団もさることながら、中国様の国営メディアのここまでの歯に衣着せぬ物言いというのも考え させられるものが。恐らく、民主党が長続きして、今後とも日本政治に重きをなすと予想するのであれば、新華社もここまでの物 言いはせずに、もうすこしオブラートビ包むであろうと思える。中国様は少なくとも今のままの民主党には未来がないと見ている ように思える。

Michelle Caruso-Cabrera said Greek debt negotiators are “less optimistic” they can avoid a deal that doesn’t trigger Greek credit default swaps. Bloomberg, meanwhile, reports that Greek debt negotiations have, quoting the Institute for International Finance, “paused for reflection.” That’s one way to put it! The market is now even lower on that report, and some more chatter that France could be in store for a two-notch downgrade, which would be a little more severe than expected. The Dow was recently down 150 points, the S&P and Nasdaq off 1.2%. The 10-year Treasury note was at 1.85%. The euro is getting absolutely crushed, down 1.2% now to $1.2663. French bonds are still falling, pushing yields higher ? and a rise from 3.01% to 3.09% is nothing to sneeze at ? but I still say it could be worse.
