A vote today in the Iranian parliament urged the government to reduce its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in response to last week’s report making a large number of allegations about their program dating to 2003.
The speaker of parliament, Ali Larijani, said that the report suggested the IAEA was increasingly a political tool of the United States, and the vote creates a parliamentary commission to investigate how IAEA relations could be further downgraded in retaliation.
Currently Iran’s cooperation with the IAEA goes beyond the protocols it has ratified in its membership agreement, so conceivably some reduction to that additional cooperation could be performed.
Even this may not be enough for some MPs, however, who are saying that Iran should respond by withdrawing from the IAEA entirely. This move appears to be considerably more controversial, particularly since such a withdrawal would be used as a further excuse for Western nations to start a war with Iran.
Its amazing that Western (Civilised) Nations continue to harass and threaten Iran who as a signatory to the Nuclear non-proliferation protocols has obey evry guideline established by the UN.
Yet the real ROGUE nation in the Middle East who HAS nuclear Weapons and seems eager to use them is protected by the USG and the UN.
Why are there no sanctions against ISREAL who has ignored all resolutions passed by the UN?
The politics of Western Nations disgust me.
The only way for IRAN to protect itself is to beg, borrow or steal the technology to acquire nuclear weapons as soon as possible to protect themselves from attack by Isreal and its murdering "hangers-on "the USA France and Britain.
plans within plans…this sucks really
seams like a cheap ploy to get the spot light off of u.n. membership for palestine is paying off with bonkers bolton's dream scenario.
“IRAN JOINS ISRAEL IN CLAIMING NUCLEAR AMBIGUITY
What does it mean? Well, in Israel’s case it’s a uniquely clever contrivance enabling it to build a massive underground arsenal containing between about 250-300 nuclear warheads without having to declare them to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of the United Nations.
Iran is somewhat different in that it has, as yet, no nuclear weapons at all and would take at least twenty years to build the nuclear fire-power that Israel already possesses today.
The further difference is that whilst Iran is a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and subject to IAEA inspection – Israel is subject to neither. You might well come to the reasonable conclusion that something is not quite balanced in this dangerous situation or, to be blunt, that something smells stronger than a piece of blue cheese – or a charred body – left out in the sun.
If Israel’s Netanyahu is successful in pulling the US into a disproportionate and one-sided nuclear conflict in the Middle East, that would have severe and frightening consequences for world peace and stability.
The answer is for the UN Security Council to proclaim the whole Middle East, including both Iran and Israel, to be a nuclear weapons free zone. ###”
I have always disagreed with the idea promulgated to make the Middle East a nuclear free zone. My disagreement is not due to my love of nuclear weapons. On the contrary, they are vile and abhorent. No, my disagreement is in the implicit desire to have the Middle East nations denuded of protection while the bully Wetern nations continue to keep their weapons as though it is dictated by God that they have rights that other nations do not have. Unless the entire world is nuclear free, then I am all for the Middle East nations to join this madness and to develop their own nuclear weapons, as repulsive as that is to me. At least that way, they could have some defense against the ubiquitous bullies.
Here's some free advice to Iran: Don't withdraw from the IAEA. Keep a close eye on those inspectors, since they are capable of espionage not related to your program and likely already do it. But kicking them out just gives the West an excuse to invade and occupy. They won't consider the price before they do it, so you have to.
The IAEA itself and the NPT should be dismantled because it has been totally prostituted and distorted by US and its gangster ally, Israel. It no longer serves to protect the world from nuclear proliferation and destruction. In fact the truth is that the US has secretly initiated nuclear weapons programs in several of its ally nations such as Israel, South Korea, Japan, Saudi Arabia etc. Iran, strangely enough does not have such a program. That's how corrupt this system has become as everything that the US is involved with is corrupt.
Only an Iranian nuclear bomb would prevent war, as there will then be an 'balance of power'. As long as only the Zionist Israel mad dogs are in possession of atomic bombs is there a likelyhood of a major nuclear conflagration after Iran hits back when her nuclear sites are attacked . Iran will be unable to use atomic bombs for geographical reasons. Have a close look at the map.
In 1836 Samuel Colt placed his .45 Caliber Peacemaker Revolver on the market, and in doing so, put every non-agressive weakling on an equal footing with the bully of the town. Colt had this to say of his invention: "The good people in this world are very far from being satisfied with each other, and my arms are the best peacemaker." Since the US and Israel insist on being the world’s bullies, nuclear weapons are the best “peacemaker” weaker nations could ever have
