Fresh off the latest IAEA quarterly report on Iran, the US and EU are pressuring the IAEA to demand Iran explain past uranium traces. Both are pushing an internal resolution to push this issue.
This same resolution happened in June, opposed by Russia and China. It raised tensions, but nothing came of it beyond tensions.
The discovery of uranium traces has been around for years. Iran gave the IAEA access, and attempted to explain, but the IAEA has never accepted anything, and keeps demanding more as though Iran didn’t respond.
This has been repeated enough that Iran doen’t immediately respond to new requests, understandably knowing it won’t resolve anything.
US and EU resolutions make the demands a bigger deal, but there is still little chance of an Iranian response accomplishing something. This keeps the issue going.
The traces are not a proliferation threat, but so long as they remain unresolved it will continue to undercut nuclear talks, and give the US an excuse to not finalize the deal to restore the JCPOA.
Iran still adheres to the guidelines set by the NPT, which Iran signed in 1968, ratified in 1970. The U.S. knows that. Israel knows that. The IAEA knows that. So, when will Israel be a signatory to the NPT???
EU doesnt have much of a power .But we would like it to be reduced to the status of say Chile or Mlayasia or Taiwan or Comoors island ,enjoying certain prosperity but having no courage or chuztpath to say anything on what others do.May be the cold winter and ensuing recession will teach these cretins .
Iran should say goodbye to NPT and kick out all of IAEA inspectors…!
Always the baseless allegations by the EU/US, simply to stop any progress on the deal.
The IAEA has devolved into yet another mouthpiece for the US and its subordinates in Europe.
“US Admits Iran Is NOT Building a Nuclear Bomb”
So, WTF?
The air went out of that old balloon, maybe they can think of something new…
The Ministry of Truth does get the palm for persistence.
This is just smoke and mirrors, to obfuscate the US decision to continue as Trump did instead of returning to the Iran Deal.
