The Neo-Crazies, in cahoots with the Anti-Nuclear-Whatever crazies, have managed to get Western politicians from across the political spectrum to view-with-alarm the Iranian nuclear weapons "threat". Of course, as those politicians know, there is no evidence whatsoever that Iran is now a nuke threat.
Know, because until March of this year Iran had VOLUNTARILY [beyond its obligations under NPT] cooperated with Director-General ElBaradei and staff of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as if an unratified "Additional Protocol" [1] [Iran's parliament has not ratified the 'Additional Protocol', so Iran has no obligation to it] to their 1974 "Safeguards Agreement" [2] was actually in force.
After more than 3 years, comprising 1700 man-days of inspections, the IAEA found "no indication" there were "undeclared source or special nuclear materials" in Iran. Furthermore, they found no indication that any declared source or special nuclear materials had been diverted to military purpose.
As for Iran comprising a nuke threat, the IAEA inspectors didn’t even find trace amounts of almost pure Uranium-235, much less the hundreds of pounds that would be needed to make a few first-generation nukes.
But the almost certain knowledge that there is no Iranian nuke threat doesn’t faze Western politicians.
Nor does the knowledge appear to faze them that if George Bush nukes Iran – as he and his henchmen keep threatening – we are all going to be in a heap of trouble.
What’s more puzzling is why the Western media elite do not challenge the oft repeated assertions by Western politicians and government officials that we have "no choice" but to remove the Iranian nuke "threat", by force "if necessary".
The Western media elite also repeatedly report that Iran’s alleged nuke program – if not actually on the agenda – is a hotly debated sideline topic at recent meetings of the Arab League, the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council (PGCC), the China-Arab Cooperation Forum, the Non-Aligned Movement’s (NAM) Ministerial Meeting, the Organization of the Islamic Conference and the upcoming meeting of the Group of Eight.
But it’s not hotly debated.
On the contrary, Iran is acknowledged to be a principal defender of the Treaty on Non-Proliferation of Nuclear weapons (NPT) [3] and a principal advocate of a "nuclear-weapon-free" zone in the Middle East.
Most notably at the 2005 NPT Review Conference [4] (made disastrous by Condi’s quasi-boycott), but also at the "high-level event" (savaged by Bonkers Bolton) that immediately preceded last year’s 60th Session of the UN General Assembly [5], by the address of their new President before the General Assembly last September[6], and in addresses made by high-level Iranian officials [7] at quarterly meetings of the IAEA Board of Governors.
In fact, virtually all meetings of all these organizations end with expressions of strong support for the NPT (and implicitly, Iran) and its "three pillars":
(1) non-proliferation,
(2) disarmament and
(3) the inalienable right to peacefully use nuclear technology.
Note that for the anti-nuclear-whatever crazies, that third NPT pillar is bad.
And for the neo-crazies, that second NPT pillar is really bad.
Nevertheless, soon after taking office, with the Cold War won, President Clinton began taking positive steps towards compliance with the NPT disarmament provisions (the 13-Steps). [8]
By 1995 Clinton had gotten all signatories to agree to extend the life of NPT – originally requiring renewal every five years – indefinitely [9].
The first Review Conference (REVCON) to assess NPT effectiveness – held in 2000 [10] – was considered by the disarmament crowd to be a great success, in spite of the fact that in 1998 both India and Pakistan (neither country an NPT signatory) had detonated their homegrown nukes for the first time.
Why a success?
Because Clinton committed the United States to "an unequivocal undertaking" to accomplish "the total elimination" of our nuke arsenal, as well as to "a reaffirmation" of the commitment in UN Security Council resolution 984 (UNSCR-984) [11] to "give security assurances against the use of nuclear weapons to non-nuclear-weapon States that are Parties" to the NPT.
Wait a minute.
Haven’t the Iranians been insisting that Bush resume taking those steps towards early nuke disarmament agreed to at the 2000 NPT Review Conference?
Haven’t the Iranians been insisting that Bush reaffirm the commitment made as a signatory to the NPT to "cooperate" in contributing to the "applications of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes", especially "in non-nuclear-weapons States"?
Finally, haven’t the Iranians been asking the Brits-French-Germans to hold Bush to the U.S. commitment to never nuke a non-nuclear-weapons State?
Well, maybe there’s hope. The Russians and Chinese – who already have oil, gas and nuclear energy co-development projects in Iran – will join the Brits-French-Germans in the next round of negotiations. Maybe they can explain to Dubya (or McCain or Hillary) why nuking those CO-development projects wouldn’t be a good idea.

The 13 Practical Steps for the implementation of "Article VI" adopted by the 2000 NPT Review Conference to nuclear disarmament. In light of the rules of treaty interpretation set forth in Articles 31 and 32 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, the Practical Steps lay down criteria, principles, and measures for compliance with Article VI. They constitute subsequent agreement and practice authoritatively applying and interpreting Article VI. Accordingly, to implement the Practical Steps is to move towards complete fulfillment of the legal obligations set forth in Article VI. To fail to do so in essential respects is to demonstrate a lack of good faith and to breach the Article VI obligations.

[11] United Nations Security Council resolution 984 (UNSCR-984)
UNSCR-984 is a security assurancefor non-nuclear-weapon states parties to the Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons. Among other things, UNSCR 984 "RECOGNIZES" that "in case of aggression with nuclear weapons or the threat of such aggression against a non-nuclear-weapon State Party" to the NPT, "the nuclear-weapon State permanent members of the Security Council will bring the matter immediately to the attention of the Council and seek Council action to provide, in accordance with the Charter, the necessary assistance to the State victim".
http://www1.umn.edu/humanrts/resolutions/SC95/984SC95.html
In other words, U.S., Britain and France who have openly and officially threatened to use nuclear weapons against Iran, would REQUIRE U.S., Britain and France to be referred to UN Security Council (UNSC) for violating the UNSCR-984.
British Defense Minister Geoffrey Hoon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoff_Hoon) at Nottingham University said that he will launch nuclear attack on Iran without hesitation (November 2004).

West has kept billions of Iran's EURODIF investments for 30 years In 1975, Iran took a very costly 10% financial participation in EURODIF uranium enrichment plant being built in France. Iran paid $1 billion towards the purchase of a 10% share of ownership in EURODIF and agreed to buy a quota from the new plant. But after the Iranian revolution in 1979, neither was Iran given any enriched uranium nor did it get back its investment from EURODIF. The U.S. was also paid to deliver new fuel and upgrade its power in accordance with a contract signed before the revolution. U.S. gave neither the fuel nor the billions of dollars it had received for it. Germany was paid for in full, billions of dollars for the two nuclear facilities in Busher, but after three decades, Germany has refused to export any equipments or refund the money.

> Because Clinton committed the United States to "an unequivocal undertaking" to accomplish "the total elimination" of our nuke arsenal, as well as to "a reaffirmation" of the commitment in UN Security Council resolution 984 (UNSCR-984) [11] to "give security assurances against the use of nuclear weapons to non-nuclear-weapon States that are Parties" to the NPT.
> Wait a minute.
Indeed, Dr:
-- begin recall from Memory Hole --
-- begin fragments of the Proposal --
http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/GH13Ak01.html
item 4(a) [EU declares right to Nuclear First Strike against a
non-nuclear nation -- and here you thought only "neo-cons" in USA had
adopted such a new 'doctrine' ..]
The United Kingdom and the French republic would reaffirm to Iran that
they will not use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear weapon states
parties to the treaty on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons
except in the case of an invasion or any attack on them, their
dependent territories, their armed forces or other troops, their allies
or on a state toward which they have a security commitment.
-- end --
> Well, maybe there's hope. The Russians and Chinese - who already have oil, gas and nuclear energy co-development projects in Iran - will join the Brits-French-Germans in the next round of negotiations. Maybe they can explain to Dubya (or McCain or Hillary) why nuking those CO-development projects wouldn't be a good idea.
The good Dr. seems to have misplaced the facts, or perhaps UNSCR-984 is
not sufficiently broad to cover Item 4(a) of the EU-3 (aka the rotten
proxy heads of Sissy Pirate Merachants of Europe) "proposal" (aka
ultimatum) to Iran.
Perhaps Arash will write to the good Dr. and get us further
clarification regarding this new found "hope[s]"?
