All this talk is baseless, said Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Hassan Qashqavi in response to the statements brewed by U.S military chief Admiral Mike Mullen against Iran.
As while talking to CNN U.S. Military Chief on Sunday stated that Iran has enough fissile material for a bomb. Which is of course a tricky statement to impose pressure over Iran to expose more what is yet covered and such stated wording seems bearing a signal for IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) to accelerate its efforts in exposure of the Iranian Nuclear setup.
Where as, its negation also came out of U.S officials when US Defense Secretary Roberts Gates uttered, “They are not close to a weapon at this point”, which means that Iran is possessing peaceful nuclear assets. But a few actors in this play are restive to unveil Iranian nuclear assets. Adding to this UN Atomic watchdog chief El Baradei has directed Iran to expose more about the assets which in other way the USA wants.
Owing to these horizons, the sun of negotiations was likely to rise during the presidency of George. W. Bush, as Tehran had demanded a direct dialogue with US government but lastly this offer was refused by Mr. Bush.
To be erect like a plank, is some times not a fruitful measure, so that refusal is now being molded by U.S government as new president Barak Obama has indicated that they are willing to talk to Iran. The new U.S government has appeared firm to learn more about Iranian nuclear plant.
Meanwhile, Hassan Qashqavi’s this statement that, ‘it is baseless from technical point of view and has propaganda connections’, is also notable.
The word ‘propaganda’ is somehow suitably used by Iranian foreign ministry spokesman because Iran has readily mentioned that its nuclear program is absolutely peaceful and is vital to generate electricity which is pre-requisite for this world’s fourth largest crude producer to export more of its gas and oil.
Where as, Barak Obama’s administration has called Iran’s nuclear program an ‘urgent problem’ the international community should address. And if we converge the issue towards U.S, which has jumped confidently all hedges in the way to nuclear arm race against Russia, and now has a stockpile of nuclear war heads.
Israel too, has acquired much more beyond nuclear arms, a part of which was used in recent battle against Hamas.
Finally, the fencing against nuclear enrichment can be more efficient, if IAEA oversees all the nations at equal graph.
