1. A meeting of the Board of Governors was held from 2 to 4 February 2006 to discuss the implementation of the Agreement between the Islamic Republic of Iran (hereinafter referred to as Iran) and the Agency for the Application of Safeguards in connection with the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. The meeting was called in response to the announcement by Iran of its decision to resume from 9 January 2006 “R&D activities on the peaceful nuclear energy programme which has been suspended as part of its expanded voluntary and non-legally binding suspension.
So in this first paragraph the IAEA is declaring that
1. Iran's nuclear energy programme is "peaceful".
2. Iran had not broken any law, but had withdrawn from a VOLUNTARY and NON-LEGALLY BINDING agreement.
The US Ambassador to the United Nations is a man called John Bolton. Before being awarded this job he was Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Affairs. The aim of this grand sounding job is to control and limit nuclear weapons, undoubtedly overseeing an expansion and/or upgrading of Israel's nuclear strike capability. Bolton recently spoke at the American-Israel Political Action Committee (AIPAC) Policy Conference 2006, along with Dick Cheney. The AIPAC website has a section dedicated to Iran. After the %£*@heads at the IAEA referred Iran to the UN Security Council the AIPAC website now has this to say;
The International Atomic Energy Agency has reported Iran to the Security Council—an important next step in the international effort to prevent Iran from attaining nuclear weapons. The Security Council must use its authority to make clear to Iran that the continued flouting of its non-proliferation obligations will be met with strong and decisive sanctions and Tehran’s further isolation. As President Bush said in his State of the Union address, “The nations of the world must not permit the Iranian regime to gain nuclear weapons.”
So there's AIPAC, supported by Bolton and Cheney and several others in the Bush Administration, screaming that Iran must be held to account for "continued flouting of its non-proliferation obligations". Meanwhile Israel is NOT a signatory to the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty. In 1995 a summit was held at which it was agreed that the Middle East should be a nuke-free zone. Iran signed up. Israel didn't.
There have been numerous reports lately that the USA, Israel and even NATO are planning and preparing to strike Iran. Reporting Iran to the UN Security Council has only given these warmongers a boost. We will soon be in the position we were in with Iraq.
Sack el-Baradei.
Sack Bolton.
Sack Cheney.
What would I have done? Got China, Russia and Iran, locked them in a room together and not let them out until an agreement had been reached between them.
Reporting Iran to the Security Council will only give some legitimacy to any air strike on Iran, whenever it occurs. Believe me, it's coming. These warmongers have form for this sort of thing.
And when reporting Iran there should at the very least have been a very, very strong condemnation of Israel, if not a referral of Israel to the Security Council.
STOP THE WORLD! I WANT TO GET OFF!
thank fuck israel has the bomb.
