Iran To The West: Prove It!

Amid Western clamor over Iran's newly-disclosed nuclear enrichment facility, Tehran's ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency challenges Western countries to prove their claim of 'Iranian deception'.

Speaking to Press TV on Saturday, Ali Asghar Soltaniyeh explained that under the IAEA Safeguards Agreements, Iran is only obliged to inform the UN nuclear watchdog of the existence of enrichment plants six months before the facility goes operational.

Iranian officials have announced that the country's second nuclear enrichment facility, believed to be located near the central city of Qom, will be operational in about 2 years.

Soltaniyeh said that "Iran has been too cooperative to inform well in advance."

The remarks came in reaction to comments made by Western leaders addressing the issue of Iran's second enrichment facility.

Speaking on Friday, the US President Barack Obama called the nascent Iranian nuclear facility "a direct challenge to the basic foundation of the nonproliferation regime."

He also said that Iran's second enrichment facility — which will reportedly house up to 3,000 centrifuges — "is inconsistent with a peaceful (nuclear) program" and demonstrates a "disturbing pattern" of evasion by Iran.

The French President Nicolas Sarkozy seconded President Obama's stance and accused Tehran of taking the world down a "dangerous" path.

Meanwhile the British Prime Minister Gordon Brown reacted by saying that Iran's "serial deception of many years" in its nuclear work demanded a tougher action by the international community.

Iran's representative to the IAEA reacted to the united western front against the Islamic Republic, saying that the construction of a nuclear facility for civil purposes should not be considered as "deception" even if the Islamic Republic "is not informing the agency or Mr. Brown."

"Now I challenge the United States or the UK or France to come to Vienna with their top legal experts and prove to me that we had had concealment," Soltaniyeh told Press TV.

"I'm very sorry that they would not understand even the spirit and the letter of Statute of the IAEA and the Comprehensive Safeguards Agreements," he added.

Iran's uranium enrichment has been the focus of prolonged international debates over the country's nuclear program and is what some countries fear might lead to producing bomb-grade material for military purposes.

Tehran has denied seeking nuclear weapons and has called for the removal of all weapons of mass destruction across the globe.

"Meanwhile the British Prime Minister Gordon Brown reacted by saying that Iran's "serial deception of many years" in its nuclear work demanded a tougher action by the international community. "

This coming from the mouth of British ruler, whose country continues to wage aggressive wars in Iraq and Afghanistan justified by serial deceptions that go back to the 1990s!

Ever heard of Weapons of Mass Destruction? Dodgy Dossiers? Saddam Hussein's 45 minute missiles? Al-CIAda?

Western arrogance is so brazen and delusional as to be self-parody.

Iran's not so secret, 'secret' fuel plant

Media hype will die down soon again

This media hype will die down soon again.

There were some rumours that Iran was forced to come forward with this, as US secret services had been detecting the site.

But regardless wether Iran was forced by the circumstances to confirm the Qom enrichment facility or wether she was revealing it on purpose, it is a blow to all such ideas as 'eliminating the iranian threat by force'.
The Qom site is said to be buried deep inside a mountain, below a layer of rock hundreds of meters thick.
There is absolutely no chance to destroy it, not even with a nuclear warhead.

To me, it's really amusing.
Each time the West tries to corner Iran on some nuclear achievement, Iran is already conjuring the next new nuclear rabbit out of the hat !

Why are the G5+1 so infuriated now ?
Because if this second enrichment facility is real, it could serve as a strong argument against further sanctions, as it would indicate the complete failure of earlier sanctions ?

Anyway, who knows how many more nuclear facilities exist in Iran ?
Maybe we are not even aware of half of them.

In my view, western intelligence about Iran is extremely poor, and it is easily possible that Iran was reaching nuclear weapons capability long ago and now is pissing herself laughing at the G5+1 and Israel.



it's a 'bait and switch'

the Apartheid State was accused publicly by the UN of committing war crimes, of attacking innocent women and children.

the only way to get that off the front page, is to put Iran on it.

Probably more truth in what you say than in any other comments around the net.

thanks, I don't get to surf the net much these days, but just what I hear or see splashed across the MSM smacks of opportunism, it's amazing really, that the MSM even aired the UN report findings, although they threw in the obligatory line that, "hamas too, was guilty of war crimes."
