Norwegian Conservative Party Leader Urges Tougher
Actions Against Tehran Government, Iran Zamin, July 13

        The leader of the Norwegian Conservative Party
announced his support for the decision made by the
Norwegian government regarding the reduction of
diplomatic ties with the Iranian regime.
        Ian Peterson, the leader of the Conservative Party,
said that his party considers this step to be a positive one
and works toward tougher actions against Iran in the
international scene.
        He said that the human rights situation in Iran
should be more carefully studied by the United Nations
and the U.N. must bring up the situation of women in
Iran in the International Conference on Women in Peking.
        The Norwegian Conservative Party leader added
that his party urges the Norwegian officials to use all of
their resources and political influence in the European
Union and the United Nations to enforce more effective
economic actions against the Iranian regime.


Unleashed Iranian Terrorists in Europe, Il Giorno, July 12

        Tehran has decided to execute a widespread
terrorist attack against Europe.  Quoting reliable sources,
the Iranian Mojahedin Resistance announced that these
actions are to be performed by the Qods Brigades which
are bitterly known for their actions.
        According to Mojahedin's information, the Khomeini
regime's new wave of terrorism tries to cover the entire
Europe. Their prime targets are the Mojahedin's leaders
but this does not limit them in their actions....


U.S. Says Sanctions on China Possible without Talks,
Reuters, July 12

        WASHINGTON - The United States will impose new
sanctions on China -- even without senior level talks -- if
Washington develops conclusive proof of Chinese missile
technology transfers to Iran, officials said on
Wednesday....
        When the administration acknowledged last month
that it had developed new information about Chinese
missile sales to Tehran, State Department spokesman
Nicholas Burns stressed the need for high-level dialogue
and said Washington wanted talks with Beijing before
making a final decision on sanctions.
        But he told reporters on Wednesday  "if the
information becomes available to us that we think is
convincing and persuasive, we will make a decision."
        "We are not hostage to future meetings. This
determination can be made at any time,"  he said,
although he added that he was not suggesting a decision
was expected any time soon.
        Undersecretary of State Lynn Davis underscored
this point, telling a seminar sponsored by the Center for
Strategic and International Studies:  "The determination
under the law with respect to sanctions ... is required ...
irrespective of the kinds of discussions that go on."
        Burns stressed  "we do not have the compelling
information, the certain information, the specific
information that is needed to make a determination that
China has violated law."
        But Davis assured that  "all of the abilities of the
United States government in the areas of intelligence are
focused on that particular question."...
        Officials have said other new information concerns
China's recent delivery of missile components to Iran. The
New York Times reported that this involves guidance
systems and computerized machine tools that could help
Tehran improve the accuracy of its North Korean Scud
missiles....
