Iran facing international pressure again

September 2, 2007

Dear friends, Iran is pushing ahead with its nuclear fuels program which most Western nations view as a destabilising and threatening development. President Sarkozy of France has recently said that unless Iran bows to diplomatic pressure and discontinues the program, a military attac on its facilities is inevitable. President Bush has said as much. Now there is a rumour that a Pentagon report exists detailing plans for a full scale attack on all military facilities in Iran. At the same time, President Amedijan is boasting of still another milestone in the nuclear program. Both sides seem headed to a confrontation. Needless to say, this would be serious and dangerous path for the world to go down with unknown repercussions. Let´s hope the situation is resolved peacefully. However, let us look at the charts for these nations and see what they suggest. Both the SAMVA

USA chart and the chart for Iran have Cancer rising. The SAMVA USA chart has 21° Cancer rising while that of Iran has 24° Cancer rising. The chart for the USA shows less strain ahead. However, the same can not be said for the chart of Iran. In the chart for Iran has significant transit to natal afflictions to contend with, involving the natal placement of the sub-period lord, L4 Venus at 10° 22' Aquarius H8 and the natal placement of L8 Saturn at 14° 43' Leo H2, which natally afflicts L4 Venus in H8 and L1 Moon at 13° 11' Taurus H11. What is worse, natally, the nodes afflict exactly all the even numbered houses, with Rahu exactly conjunct H2 MEP and Ketu exactly conjunct H8 MEP, casting also an aspect to H4 MEP owned by Venus. This combination of Venus, Saturn and the nodes helps to explain why Iran has suffered huge and devastating earthquakes in its history. The present

stationary placement of Rahu at 13° Aquarius and Ketu at 13° Leo is provoking the natal configuration. In the first half of October 2007, when Ra/Ve/Sa period is operating, transit Ketu, L8 Saturn and L4 Venus will all become conjunct at 11° Leo while opposing natal L4 Venus in H8. At that time, there is the likelihood of a serious setback for Iran. It could be an earthquake with loss of life or an increase in the tension related to the ongoing crisis, much like the Cuban Missile crisis in October 1962 created for the USA and Soviet Union when Saturn and Ketu became conjunct like they are becoming again this coming October. At that time, the world watched in awe as the nuclear powers engaged in brinkmanship, only to back down at the last moment. Let's hope any such tension is also diffused, with cooler minds prevailing. As for what could take place, well there are many possibilities. However, the indications of the 4th

house in the chart for Iran appear to be highly vulnerable in coming weeks and months, and these include the communal harmony, natural resources and fixed assets. Rahu and L8 Saturn could also be linked to manipulations relating to nuclear energy. Ketu in the mix adds a sudden, even explosive, factor into the mix. At minimum, such indications would become heavily strained as well. I´d be interested in others views on what the transits suggest may happen.

the country does not stop its program Next Article in World » TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- Iran has reached its long-sought goal of running 3,000 centrifuges to enrich uranium for its nuclear program, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced Sunday in a report on state media. Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad speaking at the Natanz nuclear facility in April. The U.N. Security Council had threatened a third round of sanctions against the country if it did not freeze the uranium enrichment program -- which Iran maintains is for peaceful energy purposes, but the U.S. says is to hide a weapons program. "The West thought the Iranian nation would give in after just a resolution, but now we have taken another step in the nuclear progress and launched more than 3,000 centrifuge machines, installing a new cascade every week," the state

television Web site quoted Ahmadinejad as saying.

Pentagon `three-day blitz' plan for Iran

The Sunday Times - September 2, 2007

Sarah Baxter, Washington

THE Pentagon has drawn up plans for massive airstrikes against 1,200

targets in Iran, designed to annihilate the Iranians' military

capability in three days, according to a national security expert.

Alexis Debat, director of terrorism and national security at the

Nixon Center, said last week that US military planners were not

preparing for " pinprick strikes " against Iran's nuclear

facilities. " They're about taking out the entire Iranian military, "

he said.

Debat was speaking at a meeting organised by The National Interest, a

conservative foreign policy journal. He told The Sunday Times that

the US military had concluded: " Whether you go for pinprick strikes

or all-out military action, the reaction from the Iranians will be

the same. " It was, he added, a " very legitimate strategic calculus " .

President George Bush intensified the rhetoric against Iran last

week, accusing Tehran of putting the Middle East " under the shadow of

a nuclear holocaust " . He warned that the US and its allies would

confront Iran " before it is too late " .

Hello my dear Thor,

The situation is quite difficult for Iran upto middle of November. US may

seriously consider military action between last week of September, 2007, to

third week of October, 2007. Iran may face action / further stern sanctions

with prolonged repercussions.

Best wishes.
