Iran has condemned as illegal new EU sanctions against Tehran over its uranium enrichment programme. A foreign ministry spokesman said the sanctions would make Iran more determined to obtain the technology.Of course, if you're up against the doddering old United Nations... that just might work.
The UN Security Council approved a third round of sanctions against Iran over the issue in March 2008.
UN replies... "Hey, don't make me issue a 'sweeping condemnation'!"

-- JERUSALEM -- Palestinian militants on Tuesday fired three homemade rockets into southern Israel, the first such attack since a cease-fire between Israel and Gaza militants took effect last week.Well, heck Sami... as long as you're going to "talk to them..."
Israel condemned the attack as a "gross violation" of the truce, but did not say whether it would retaliate.
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said the rocket attack came because of "Israeli provocation this morning" and added that Hamas was "committed to the calm." He said Hamas will talk with other factions and make sure they are committed, too.

Hamas, which controls Gaza, said the closings violated the truce agreement.
