ElBaradei: Iran Not a Nuclear Threat to World

Comment by Larry Ross, April 2, 2007

Mohammed ElBaradei, as Director General of the International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA), is a world authority on nuclear issues including whether a nation has a nuclear weapons and is a potential nuclear threat. He says Iran is not a nuclear threat to the world.

It's his job to oversee UN inspections of Iran's nuclear facilities and report on them.

I trust his report that Iran is not a nuclear threat to the world.

On the other hand the Bush Administration has earned a reputation for creating, cherry picking, or doctoring intelligence to suit their war plans - as they did to make war on Iraq. They are doing the same thing with Iran.

The US and Israel are demonising Iran and creating lies to portray it as a nuclear threat. They are doing this as part of the preparation to attack and bomb Iran according to many reports on our website.

Fortunately an honest man was willing to speak the truth about Iran, thereby exposing Bush's lies about Iran's nuclear enrichment programme.

ElBaradei: Iran not a nuclear threat to world

by Islamic Republic News Agency, April 2, 2007

IAEA Director General Mohamed ElBaradei said on Thursday night that Iran is not considered as a nuclear threat to the world.

In an interview with Al-Arabia television network, he said the country poses no nuclear threats to any country around the globe.

Iran's problems should be resolved through comprehensive talks with all parties, he underlined.

Military conflict does not help resolve the issue, he said, adding that it only will lead to a regional catastrophe and will make the situation more complicated.

UNSC resolution only conveys a message that the international community is concerned about Iran's goals and calls for confidence building between the two sides, he said.

There is no doubt that the issue should be merely resolved through dialogue, he said.

The international community should differentiate between technical duty of IAEA and political evaluations of UNSC, he pointed out.

"Although we declared that there is no evidence of existence of nuclear weapons in Iraq but they did not give us enough chance to accomplish our task and ignited the war," he said.

"On Iran's case, we hope that the international community will listen to our words and provide chances to help resolve the issue through dialogue," he said.
