The latest IAEA media leaks on an Iran report, which are not strictly on a new report but rather on a slightly updated one, are again accusing Iran of expanding their uranium enrichment program.
These leaks are consistent in claiming Iran’s enrichment is getting faster, though they tend to ignore that Iran has made that enrichment reversible, and is using it as leverage in negotiation.
Enrichment expansion was happening with new centrifuges before, but the report now indicates that Iran’s focus is on installing much more efficient centrifuge models.
There’s no real problem with Iran upgrading centrifuges, despite the US griping about it. The IAEA just keeps bringing up “problems” to keep from having to acknowledge the civilian nuclear program as peaceful, because the US wants to justify not making a nuclear deal.
Once again, this positions the IAEA as hostile to the deal, and harms future direct talks it may have with Iran. Iran has become increasingly distrustful of the IAEA,and the process by extension.
Short of getting a seismic boom tested somewhere in Iran, all these leaks are wordplay.
SANCTIONS SEEM TO BE WORKING OR ARE THEY?
The IAEA seems to have become completely pro certain powers. Oh for the days of Blix and Al-Baradei.
They told the truth and could not stop the illegal invasion of Iraq and the millions killed in the ME by the USA. The real war criminals.
Putin should give Iran Nukes ASSAP , why should Israel have them and no one else .
The following can be reasons for enriching U235. Use in nuclear reactors. Use in nuclear weapons. Sale to other countries (1). In this case also: pressure on negotiations.
(1) Such plants exist in The Netherlands and Germany. Enrichment is done here in the US too but I do not know whether the products are sold abroad.
The only products of military use we’ve exported lately are the means to wage warfare.
If there is no problem, why aw is reporting it in the first place…?!
Because the Americans made it a problem, that is the problem.
Because Americans will start thinking negatively about Iran and will assume Iran is doing something horrible over there . US says something against Iran even when the confabulated mixture of half truths are in contradiction to reality, treaty,rights of sovereign nation or US own behaviors, these marinated crowds fed on CNN or Fox aduletrtaedc diet of information will gladly believe .Because believing lies is being informed and something to be proud of .
It is like Pavlovian dog standing on its hind legs and giving high fives to the US leaders and media hosts announcing the lies .
“IAEA Report: Iran Expanding Uranium Enrichment.” Exactly. The title puts Iran’s name in a negative light. If you scan several MSM outlets, you would find very similar verbiage repeated ad nauseum. Regardless of what’s actually in the articles, do this daily and you end up with plenty of Americans who believe Iran should be destroyed, including its civilians. That’s how it’s done. Mission accomplished.
W: “In Texas, we don’t do nuance.”
There is no reason to trust the IAEA, like all international institutions it too is controlled by the Washington hegemon monster. The UN has become just as useless. No institution has remained trust worthy, not one.
The NPP inspectors were in the plant when it was shelled and they don’t know who did it? Of course they know who did it.
They know who did it, the Ukrainians, if they had one iota of evidence pointing to Russia they would have blown the horns telling the whole world, but they know the Ukrainians did it and they better not mention it. Forget about civil courage.
I see no reason whatsoever that Iran, the only country which has actually held up its commitments under the since trashed P5+1, should now hold itself to any commitments no longer observed by the US. And this includes enrichment.
And if the Europeans had any decency and courage they would refuse to sanction Iran. Sanctions too are war crimes, illegal killings of people by denying food and medical supplies to people. Demolishing their economies, sanctions are war crimes.
The mother of sanctions was the one Bill put on Iraq that led to the deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children.
Iran signed the NPT in 1968, ratified same in 1970. What say Israel and a couple of other countries?
Good for Iran and make it a success by kicking out IAEA.
