UN nuclear watchdog censures Iran for failing to cooperate
Deutch Welle ^ | November 21, 2024

The United Nations nuclear agency has passed a resolution increasing pressure on Iran over its nuclear program. Tehran has responded by activating additional centrifuges.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) passed a censure motion against Iran on Thursday, ordering it to immprove its cooperation with the agency and requesting a "comprehensive report" into Tehran's efforts early next year.

Iran and the IAEA have been at loggerheads on a range of issues including Tehran's failure to explain traces of uranium at two undeclared locations, the barring of some of the agency's leading uranium-enrichment experts and its refusal to facilitate expanded IAEA monitoring.

Moments after the vote, Iranian state media cited a joint statement by the foreign ministry and the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran saying nuclear chief Mohammad Eslami had issued orders for the activation of new, advanced uranium-enriching centrifuges.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had earlier warned of a "proportionate" response from Tehran to the resolution, which he said "will disrupt" its interactions with the IAEA, but stressed Iran would remain keen to cooperate.

According to the IAEA, Iran already has enough uranium close to the 90% purity required to make it weapons-grade and which, if enriched further, would be enough for four nuclear bombs.

Iran denies seeking such weapons.

This is how it started with Saddam.

Popular ignorance notwithstanding, it wasn’t the suspicion that he had secret unconventional weapons programs (and stockpiles of same) that led to him being overthrown and then hanged, but his obstinate refusal to let international sanctioning bodies see for themselves.

I believe the Israelis are in total non compliance of all international atomic weapons protocols.

You’re attempting to prevent nations from creating 1944 vintage technology. You might as well try to keep them from producing a 1944 Spitfire or Mustang.

Only it is easier than that. They know how it is done because it has been done before.

The longer we go into the future the more difficult it is going to be to keep certain guys out of the nuclear club. The better response might be “We have more and bigger bombs than you, you pip-squeak, and we’d love to have a reason to demonstrate them on your soil. So you really need to think; do you hate us that much?

False

Iran has nuclear power plants that require compliance with international inspection protocols. Israel does not have any nuke plants

Nuke technology is much more difficult to perfect. That why, despite trying for over a decade, Iran hasn’t been able to achieve it

You might want to learn about the Sunni theocracy that runs Iran and their death cult theology. The people who run Iran are not the least bit afraid of the West’s military edge.

Why is that a problem? They want to arrest Bibi, and Bibi says, "F U"
