In response, UN Security Council’s sanctions committee has expressed gratitude to the UAE Government by thanking officials in Abu Dhabi and has requested an explanation from Iran.

“The committee has received information regarding an alleged violation of the sanctions that have been put on North Korea and this information is being considered and processed by the committee at this moment,” (Turkish diplomat, the National).

The cargo ship was noted as carrying rocket-propelled grenades and various other weapons, which were marked as ‘machine parts’ to mislead authorities and mask the actual contents.

Twitterers worldwide and in the Middle East note the following reactions:

In 1924, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk by law transferred the ownership to the government and used it as a Presidential Palace; he passed away in 1938.

The Ceremonial Hall (Muayede Salonu) is still used for special events, like the last NATO Meeting, as well as President Obama’s meeting with the Turkish president.

No Photography is allowed inside the Palace.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has come under major criticism within his own circle of allies after appointing the controversial figure and his son’s father-in-law, Esfandyar Rahim-Masha’i as his vice president, according to Haaretz.

Mashaei has been quoted as saying, “Today, Iran is friends with the American and Israeli people,” by Fars News Agency, according to PrintEnNews. This remark has brought forth a flood of criticism in the country against Mashaei and now President Ahmadinejad.

Twitterers shadowed in green sense a possible rift in the regime:

According to Haaretz, Mohammad Ajmal Kasab, 21, a Pakistani citizen pleaded guilty today at a Mumbai court to the Nov. 26-28 Mumbai attacks on two luxury hotels, a Jewish center and the train station, which led to 166 deaths and heated tensions between India and Pakistan.

Kasab was the only surviving gunman out of the 10 involved in the attacks and was all over the news, when his video carrying an AK-47 assault rifle was transmitted all over the world.

He is charged with 86 separate offences and had pleaded not guilty in May, however he now faces a possible death sentence, according to AlertNet.

“He has confessed to his role and the fact that he was involved in the attacks that killed so many people … the planning and the execution,” lead police investigator Rakesh Maria told Reuters, according to AlertNet.

While Twitterers in India celebrate, there’s a hint of skepticism behind the timing of the news:

The smoking ban was initially levied in offices, public transport and other public areas in May, 2008, and bars, cafés and restaurants were granted a grace period, which lasted til Saturday at midnight, according to Gulf News. The ban also extends to include traditional waterpipe cafés, which at the current state of economic crisis is being highly criticized by conventionalists, according to Euro News.

The legislation imposes fines ranging from 50 Turkish lira (£22; $44) for smokers to 5,000 lira (£2,200; $4,400) for restaurant and cafe owners. While smokers have expressed anger and a violation of their civil rights, health campaigners are praising the law in light of the smoking-related illnesses, which cost Turkey up to 3 billion lira (£1.4bn; $2.7bn) a year, according to BBC.

Twitterers in Istanbul are skeptical and comical at the news:

The news comes shortly after Gholam Reza Aghazadeh, Iran’s former nuclear chief, most commonly referred as the father of Iran’s nuclear programme stepped down from his position on Thursday, July 16.  Aghazadeh’s close relationship with reformist opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi is being linked to his decision, according to the Two-Way, NPR’s news blog.

Aghazadeh’s resignation is being paralleled to the political turmoil in the nation and comparisons are being made with Abdul Qadeer Khan (A.Q.), Pakistan’s nuclear scientist, according to Guardian.co.uk.

Twitterverse raises their doubts amidst the spontaneous nuclear chief shuffling process:
