Why El Baradei must be forced out of the IAEA.
- Bruno Schirra, writing for the German website Die Welt just published a report that the IAEA tried to stop entitled: Atomic Secrets: The man who knew too much. This is the first time the IAEA’s Chief Inspector, Chris Charlier, has spoken out publicly. We have just translated the report.
Here are a few excerpts:
When Baradei went to Tehran in April for consultations, the chief negotiator of the Shiite theocracy, Ali Larijani gave him an ultimatum to fire Chris Charlier. …
Mohammad El-Baradei acted swiftly in accepting the demand.
Chris Charlier had made himself highly unpopular in Tehran since 2003. "I am not a politician, I am a technician and as such the only thing which interests me is whether Iran's nuclear program is a civil or military one", Charlier states. "The inspections have to reach an unambiguous conclusion".
"I believe they are hiding what they are doing with their nuclear activities. …
Charlier notes the results of inspections and lists the tricks and deceptions of the Tehran rulers, which leads the inspectors in Vienna to a single conclusion: based on pieces of the puzzle gathered by Charlier, "Tehran is obviously making a bomb." …
Mohammad El-Baradei promised Ali Larijani, the most trusted person of Iran's Supreme Ruler Ali Khamenei not only to remove Charlier, the team leader of the inspectors, but also to no longer allow him access to any documents in Vienna, relative to Iran's nuclear program.

IAEA is not in the business of stopping nuclear weapons program, they are in the business of monitoring and documenting them.
That is all. They have not stopped anyone from getting a weapon, and they won't, because that isn't the business they are in. They are in the business of providing cover, of providing a substitute for action in order to forstall any real action.
"The council is tasked with ensuring global peace and security. It has five permanent member nations: China, France, Russia, the UK and the US.
Profile: UN Security Council
Ten other countries have temporary membership on a rotating basis.
The council can impose economic sanctions and can authorise the use of force in conflicts.
It also oversees peacekeeping operations."
Clearly, IAEA is broken.
Iranian secret services have large agents network in Azerbaijan
The former staff member of the Ministry of State Security of Azerbaijan Ilkham Yismail considers that the secret services of Iran as early as 1993 have placed in Azerbaijan a large net of agents, and at any moment they can organize provocations in Baku, online paper Day.az writes today. AIA already wrote today that the Iranian Minister of Intelligence and Security Mohseni-Ejei stated in a conversation with the press that "the instigators of disorders are located abroad, and we would force them to lose the faith in their tactics". According to the minister, the Foreign Ministry of Iran already required in several countries to suppress the "activity of instigators". At the same time he noted that the Iranian secret services would also study this matter.
There is a high probability that the Iranian secret services will act against the Iranian refugees and the dissidents also in Azerbaijan, furthermore problems could arise by the leaders of the Iranian Azerbaijani living in other countries. The secret services of Iran already have more vigorously concentrated on their work in the states of the South Caucasus and Central Asia. The regional activity of the secret services of Iran concerns, predominantly, the South Caucasian and Central Asian policy of the US, Day.az writes. Azerbaijani experts note that the representatives of Iran pay priority attention to the regional contacts of Americans in the political and military spheres, especially to the trips to the countries of the region of the representatives of the Pentagon, the CIA and the NATO headquarters.

That map has been known to incite vicious arguments.
It's extremely unpopular with Iranians, and others, understandably so.
Yup. Regime's agents are in many countries.
"from what country (Iran?)"
Hard to say
Whilst I think Ralph Peters article and before and after maps may have some merits for other Middle East countries, I think he should learn more about Iran and its ethnic groups, languages (dialects), customs, traditions, etc. before he makes a statement such as this:
Iran, a state with madcap boundaries, would lose a great deal of territory to Unified Azerbaijan, Free Kurdistan, the Arab Shia State and Free Baluchistan
.[Iran would, in effect, become an ethnic Persian state again] !!, with the most difficult question being whether or not it should keep the port of Bandar Abbas or surrender it to the Arab Shia State.
And then, there is this statement:
.. But would gain the provinces around Herat in today's Afghanistan a region with a historical and linguistic affinity for Persia..
The Republic of Tajikistan also speaks a version of Persian language called Dari, similar to parts of Afghanistan, and has close historical affinity with Iran (Persia). Why has R.Peters left them out? Is it because he thinks people want it that way or that Tajikistan is already an independent republic?
The issue isnt redrawing the map of current Iran. The central issue, among other things, is governance and the current regime in Iran and its treatment of various ethnic groups including the Persians.
Here is a start for learning a bit more about Iranian ethnic groups for Ralph Peters:
