With just four days left in his term of office, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief Mohamed ElBaradei lashed out at the Iranian government, declaring that their ongoing probes “have effectively reached a dead end, unless Iran engages fully with us.”
ElBaradei also expressed disappointment that the Iranian government didn’t immediately accept the draft third-party enrichment deal. Iran has called for more talks on the issue and is seeking guarantees that Western nations, notably France, will follow through on their part of the deal.
Though the IAEA has repeatedly certified that Iran is not diverting any of its uranium to non-civilian purposes and both ElBaradei and his replacement, Amano Yukiya, say there is no evidence that Iran has any nuclear weapons program, “issues of concern” reportedly remain unresolved.
Notable among those are allegations about missile delivery systems for a hypothetical nuclear warhead. Iran has declined to provide details about its missiles, insisting that the IAEA has no reason to pry into the nation’s conventional arsenal.
The issue is not whether Iran should have nuclear weapons. The issue is whether the world trusts the madmen illegally holding to the machinery of state in Iran. Iran is effectively under a military junta we all know, and the IRGC believe that they have a religious goal to attain. The people of Iran are akin to hostages and are starving to death even though their country has amongst the largest energy resources in the world. We need the world to free Iran. We need the people of the world to help the people of Iran get rid of these bandits peacefully. We do not need governments and other entities use Iran as political fodder against each other, like the left wing does to the US or the other way round. Please put politics down and look at this catastrophe that has taken place.
spoken like a true ignorant american idiot…
I agree with Baz. The "members of the church of benign global hegemony" are completely insane.
Agree with Baz and Mike. Israel has nuclear missiles in submarines deployed around the world.
With a total disregard for international law, and an expressed willingness to take down the planet
if their aims are thwarted (see Martin Van Creveld) the immediate threat is not Iran, but Israel.
Amazing isn't it? Iran is at least "talking" but is labeled as "extreme" while Israel doesn't discuss anything, kills civilians en-masse, and is given a pass. The mind boggles. So what is wrong with Iran seeking guarantees? Am I missing something here? I too would want whoever takes this material to agree to give it back as per an agreement or you're simply going to be made a fool of later by the very back stabbing bastards/puppets like those in DC who kill with a wink and a nod after back flipping and twisting all the facts to fit their bent ideology. Where is your leverage when you've been disarmed? You haven't any and the world knows this if it were honest.
Yes Amazing!! the Israel lobby (AIPAC) has a stranglehold hold on the US Capitol.Whitehouse Chief of staff is a dual citizen that has served in IDF.Even Jewish Canadian Neo Cons hold sway and formulate foreign policy.
I am getting several "Reports" for this comment. Please do not use the "Report" feature for comments that you don't agree with. It is for offensive, racist or otherwise discussions. This comment is not.
It would seem that someones cage has been rattled again. Could the laptop brigades have been mobilized once more to spam comments?
Iran is owed close to 15 billion by the US and france in money that was sent for payment of certaiin things but was frozen by the US and french governments in 1980. They are also owed money from russia which has not delivered military equipment or finished the bushehr reactor…
why should THEY trust us?
Maybe there needs to be another shout to "Remember the Vincennes"! In yet another nut shell you can see all the lies that are American "policy". If you can magically transform civilian aircraft into military, on the "fly" no less, and render billion dollar warships inept at the same time, well then…. you can change lead into gold… or in the case of our FED… the opposite.

We need a Foreign Policy lobby that speaks for non-idiots about non-intervention. I am going to email Philip Giraldi…
