Iran rejects nuclear inspections unless Israel allows them

GENEVA - An Iranian envoy said Monday his government will not submit to extensive nuclear inspections while Israel stays outside the global treaty to curb the spread of atomic weapons. "The existing double standard shall not be tolerated anymore by non-nuclear-weapon states," Ambassador Ali Asghar Soltanieh told a meeting of the 190 countries that have signed the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. Nuclear safeguards are far from universal, he said, adding that more than 30 countries are still without a comprehensive safeguard agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency to ensure full cooperation with that U.N. body. "Israel, with huge nuclear weapons activities, has not concluded" such an agreement or submitted its facilities to the IAEA's safeguards, Soltanieh said. Israel, which does not discuss whether it has atomic weapons, did not sign the nonproliferation treaty, which requires all signatories except the major powers to refrain from obtaining nuclear arms. India and Pakistan, which have developed nuclear weapons, also are not signatories. Iran did sign the treaty and is under U.N. Security Council sanctions meant to pressure the Tehran government into allowing inspections that will ensure it isn't developing nuclear weapons. Iran insists its atomic program is peaceful, with the sole goal of using reactors to generate electricity. A U.S. envoy accused Iran of "provocative and destabilizing activities" and said its leaders were responsible for leading the country into the sanctions imposed by the Security Council. "The path of defiance is also the path of isolation, of continuing and additional sanctions and of further stunted economic opportunities for a proud and sophisticated people already suffering from economic turmoil and mismanagement by its regime's leaders," said Christopher A. Ford, U.S. special representative for nuclear nonproliferation. Ford said Iran joined North Korea and Syria in weakening the nonproliferation treaty. "This treaty regime faces today the most serious tests it has ever faced: the ongoing nuclear weapons proliferation challenges presented by Iran, by North Korea and now by Syria," Ford said. Ford cited U.S. intelligence that North Korea was helping Syria in "secretly constructing a nuclear reactor that we believe was not intended for peaceful purposes." Syria denied last week that it was working on an undeclared reactor, which purportedly was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike last September. Soltanieh said nuclear-armed powers like the United States, Britain and France are practicing "nuclear apartheid" by denying or restricting peaceful atomic technology to countries like Iran. "Access of developing countries to peaceful nuclear materials and technologies has been continuously denied to the extent that they have had no choice than to acquire their requirements for peaceful uses of nuclear energy, including for medical and industrial applications, from open markets," Soltanieh said. This usually means the material is more expensive, poorer quality and less safe, he said. |

No matter what Iran does in the eye of the U.S they will always remain to be a terrorist nation.

Now go back to the hole wince you came...
Krypton, it is becoming increasingly clear that you advocate the use of violence against American citizens abroad. As mentioned in another thread, that is pretty troublesome.

Khomeini should have been executed in 1964 rather then be let out of prison. That bastard helped shape Iran into the backwards thinking society it is today.

| Things in Iran are so controlled and hardlined that you prolly can't even view movies like Mary Poppins there. Iran's extremist regime = one dimensional. |

The seventy million people there have it so much better now with religious extremists in power as opposed to the Shah and the West |

I'm sure there's a Mons Venus and an Ybor City in every city in Iran.
And cosmopolitan? You mean like the ethnic mix of people in Tampa? A black and a growing Hispanic population? A White population from all parts of the US and Europe? Oh yeah, the resemblance to Tampa is just astounding.
Women in Tampa = very hot.
Women in Iran = who knows? Most of them aren't allowed to dress up like their Tampa counterparts.
Tampa Radio includes 2 Hip Hop stations, Bubba The Love Sponge is back on the radio (and thx to him 102.5 finally sounds good), a Modern Rock station, a hard Rock station, one of the country's most famous Top 40 stations, and a cool Public radio station.
Iran radio = crap, and is entirely controlled by the state. Definitely not diverse like the radio dial in Dubai, Beirut, and especially Istanbul.
EDM Club scene in Iran? Non existent. Definitely not like that of Tel Aviv, Sharam Al Sheikh, Dubai, or Istanbul.
American supermarkets vs. Iranian supermarkets? America wins hands down.
Car choices in America vs. Iran? America wins hands down.
Iran is anti-cosmopolitan. Oh yeah, I'm just so filled with envy right now
You know here in Nashville there's a big Kurdish population. Their views of Iran are very different from yours, and most of them could care less about Fox News.
