I'm Predicting:

Months ago Iran promised 50 million US dollars to help the Hamas government in their time of need.
I predicted the money would be slow in coming - if it came at all.

Today, in Teheran, Iranian Foreign Minister Mottaki proved me right.
During a press conference Mottaki confirmed that not only has the money not been sent to the Hamas government but that it was still in the decision stages.

Iran provides funding for terror attacks, that's where they put their money.
$50,000,000 to the Palestinian government is not chump change and is not, in Iran's estimation, money-well-spent. When a recent survey of Iranians asked if Iran should support the Palestinians the vast majority rejected the idea.

Iran is a country of bravado - talk big, move slowly.
The PA may yet get some money, but slowly and only a little.

P.S. Also today, Iranian President Ahmadinejad said that the Zionist entity must be removed. We'll see ...
