IAEA credibility and Iran’s nuclear program : Comments

By Abolghasem Bayyenat, published 17/11/2011

The IAEA is straining very hard to find any evidence of military use of Iran's uranium.

What on earth does Iran's human rights record have to do with nuclear Weapons? It would be like saying that the US can't be trusted with nuclear weapons because it imprisons more of its own people than any other country in the world. The two issues are completely separate.
The reason Iran needs missiles that can reach Israel is because Israel constantly threatens to attack it. They need such missiles to act as a deterrent. The missiles may well be inaccurate but this does not detract from their ability to act as a deterrent. I'm sure they would prefer more accurate and advanced weapons, but unfortunately due to sanctions they are unable to purchase these. They were even prevented from purchasing the purely defensive s300 Russian anti aircraft system.
Does Israel have missiles that can reach Iran? Does the US have missiles that can reach Iran? Why should they have a monopoly on these kind of weapons? Its certainly not because they have shown great restraint in using them.
The fact is that Iran does not have any history of attacking its neighbours. The fact that Iranians do not share elements of our culture are completely irrelevant. Just more distortions to try to justify attacks on people that have not attacked us.

There's enough in the world as it is. If Iran was not a deviate it would not be under threat, the world needs Iran, it has oil. It does not need an atomic bomb. Israel is said to have the bomb, but there is no need to use it, if it wern't for the ramblings coming out of Iran. Iran is a radical state.

The USA ,NATO and its bankster backers have us headed for nuclear confrontation.That is the reality.

Glowing in the dark might be trendy for a short while, but I promise you,it has no future.

Bigger problems than merely Iran on the horizon. The IAEA Commission is backed by the major players in the Nuclear Pantheon, whether you regard them as capable of working out facts is irrelevant.

Iran sponsors religious fanatics that think strapping a bomb to themselves and detonating it in the middle of a crowded market/cafe/nightclub/etc. is a legitimate way to wage war. It is not, they have quite deliberately set out to antagonize others in the region, thinking that the status quo could be upset without serious consequences. Newsflash, it cannot and nobody is going to accept the potential for nuclear armed suicidal nutters. That is a zero sum game, there can be no winners, just those who lose and those who lose significantly more. Mutually assured destruction and suicide bombers really don't mix.

What is interesting is how the supports for Iran are being removed, rapidly. China has long been supplying Iran through North Korean proxies. Then the SE Asian region, with South Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Vietnam, Korea, (and the Commonwealth) etc. building a bloc to challenge China. Meanwhile India, the Commonwealth and the USA are starting to work together to challenge China in South Asia? China threw her weight around way too hard, without regard for what would happen if the rest of the region(s) banded together.

Learn to sit back, watch what is going on and relate it to what is happening overall. China has overplayed its hand, as have her allies (Pakistan, North Korea and Iran). China is now being surrounded with Nuclear capable Blocs that can match her for size and weapons (it will be very interesting to see if Russia takes advantage of that). It is pretty much how the Americans de-fanged the USSR, arming NATO and fighting brushfire wars. But this is the cost of proliferation (also the reason for the incredible arms race in both the South-Eastern (China Sea/West Pacific) & Southern Asian (Indian Ocean) regions).
