Iran hurls defiance as UN braces itself for a nuclear showdown
By Richard Beeston, Diplomatic Editor
IRAN will be reported to the UN Security Council today for defying the
international community and pressing ahead with its controversial
nuclear programme.
But even as a damning report, prepared by the international nuclear
watchdog, was being sent to UN headquarters in New York, Tehran stepped
up its inflammatory rhetoric and challenged the world to do its worst.
President Ahmadinejad of Iran, who has made confrontation with the West
the centrepiece of his tenure, said that his country was impervious to
outside pressure.
=E2=80=9CIf you think that by frowning at us, by issuing resolutions . . .
you can impose anything on the Iranian nation or force it to abandon
its obvious right, you still don=E2=80=99t know its power,=E2=80=9D the har=
dline
leader said. =E2=80=9CWe have obtained the technology for producing nuclear
fuel . . . No one can take it away from our nation.=E2=80=9D
His remarks reflected Iran=E2=80=99s growing conviction that it can defy the
world with impunity because the international community is hopelessly
divided about how to proceed. Last night Condoleezza Rice, the US
Secretary of State, told Nato foreign ministers meeting in Sofia, the
Bulgarian capital, that the Security Council would lose credibility if
it did not act. But key members remained deeply divided. Although
President Bush insists that the military option is still =E2=80=9Con the
table=E2=80=9D, Russia and China recoil from the idea of even modest
sanctions.
The report will be delivered today by Mohamed ElBaradei, the
Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), who
was assigned last month the impossible task of persuading Iran to halt
its programme of uranium enrichment and reporting back to the Security
Council on Tehran=E2=80=99s compliance.
At the heart of the crisis is Iran=E2=80=99s decision to press ahead with i=
ts
programme to enrich uranium. Tehran insists that this is to provide
fuel for its civilian nuclear programme, but critics contend that the
oil-rich country is developing an atomic bomb.
Dr ElBaradei=E2=80=99s attempt to bridge the widening gap between Iran and
the international community proved unsuccessful. He spent only one
fruitless day in Tehran.
Although some nations might be intimidated by the prospect of taking on
the joint will of America, Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia,
Iran has positively relished thumbing its nose at the world powers. The
Iranian leadership has fired almost daily verbal salvos against its
critics. This week alone it has threatened to cut oil production, to
export its nuclear technology, to ban international nuclear monitors,
to hide its atomic programme and to withdraw from the Nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty.
For good measure Mr Ahmadinejad also denounced Israel as a fake regime
and predicted that it could not continue to live. Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, added that if the US attacked
Iran, it would retaliate twice as hard against American interests
around the world.
Iran=E2=80=99s defiance is not based on a suicidal wish to take on the worl=
d,
but rather on an understanding that the international community is
crippled by deep divisions on what to do next. While all five permanent
Security Council members agree that Tehran should stop its enrichment
programme, Russia and China oppose any moves that could lead to
sanctions or the use of force.
Britain has been working behind the scenes to persuade Moscow and
Beijing to support a resolution under Chapter VII of the UN Charter,
which can impose punitive sanctions and even approve force against a
country deemed to be a threat to international security. Jack Straw,
the Foreign Secretary, said this week that London was already
contemplating sanctions, which would probably include a ban on senior
Iranian officials travelling abroad and a freeze on all sales of arms
and nuclear equipment to Iran.
But Moscow and Beijing, which have huge commercial interests in Iran,
appeared yesterday to reject any embargo against Tehran. President
Putin of Russia said: =E2=80=9CWe think that the IAEA must continue to play=
a
major, key role, and it must not shrug off its responsibilities to
resolve such questions and shift them on to the UN Security Council.=E2=80=
=9D
Beijing echoed the need for patienct restraint. =E2=80=9CA diplomatic
solution is the correct choice and is in the interests of all
parties,=E2=80=9D a Foreign Ministry spokesman said. =E2=80=9CChina urges a=
ll
parties to avoid measures that could worsen the situation.=E2=80=9D
There are fears in the region that, without a diplomatic solution,
America or Israel may decide to take pre-emptive military action
against Iranian nuclear facilities. MajorGeneral Amos Yadlin, the head
of Israeli military intelligence, said yesterday that Iran had bought
North Korean surface-to-surface missiles that had a range of 1,550
miles (2,500km) and were capable of carrying a nuclear warhead.
Military experts confirmed that the Iranians had received 18 BM15
missiles, which could put countries including the Czech Republic, Italy
and Romania within range.=20

Again, the "Tailors Of Panama" spin their 'desires' into scripted
text.
Reality never follows the pre-SCRIPTed PLOT Lines of FOOLs !!! (If
it did, life would be so boring.)
Time to brush up on your Roddenberry's ('Original' Star Trek), Chris
Carter's (X-Files) and [The Master Of Them All] Rod Serling's (The
Twilight Zone) "Fourth Act" twists.
(Although Carter usually tended to follow the Five Act format. - one
act was usually dedicated to the show's Plot Line continuity.)

Use of Force Against Iran May Lead to Catastrophe =E2=80=94 Russian Expert

Attempts to use force in solving Iran=E2=80=99s nuclear problem may lead to=
a
catastrophe, the chairperson of Russia=E2=80=99s Commerce and Industry
Chamber said.
Speaking in Tel Aviv at a meeting with Israeli businessmen, Yevgeny
Primakov quoted by RIA-Novosti news agency called for political
settlement of the crisis around Iran.
Primakov added that Russia is in no way interested in a nuclear state
near its borders.
=E2=80=9CThe questions is how we can prevent it. If someone is proposing use
of force, it is counterproductive. It may lead to catastrophic
consequences. Therefore, it is necessary to find political solutions.
Is it difficult to find them? No doubt. But one must aim at it,=E2=80=9D
Primakov said.
He added that the issue connected with Iran=E2=80=99s uranium enrichment at
the Russian territory was still open and that negotiations should be
continued.
=E2=80=9CThe main thing is to evade use of force against Iran because
(otherwise) it would throw not only the region back, it would throw the
whole East back, I think. One should not trifle wth this,=E2=80=9D Primakov
said.
Yevgeny Primakov was Russia=E2=80=99s Prime Minister since September 1998
until May 1999. He was regarded as a compromise figure between
Yeltsin=E2=80=99s government and Communist opposition.
During the Soviet era, Primakov was director of the Institute of
Oriental Studies of the Academy of Sciences (1977-1985) and director in
the Institute of World Economy and International Relations (until
1989). In 1989, he was appointed chairman of one of two houses of the
Soviet parliament. He served as Gorbachev=E2=80=99s special envoy to Iraq in
the run-up to the Gulf War, in which capacity he held talks with
President Saddam Hussein. In 1991, after the coup against Gorbachev
failed, he was appointed First Deputy Chairman of the KGB.
In modern Russia, Primakov worked as director of the Foreign
Intelligence Service (1991-1996), and as foreign minister (1996-1998).
He strongly but pragmatically supported Russia=E2=80=99s interests and was =
an
opponent of NATO=E2=80=99s expansion into the former Eastern bloc. He
promoted Russia, China and India as a =E2=80=9Cstrategic triangle=E2=80=9D =
to
counterbalance the United States.

Iran Denounces U.S. Nuclear Strike Stance By EDITH M. LEDERER,
Associated Press Writer
Mon May 1, 2:40 PM ET
Iran denounced the United States on Monday for contemplating possible
nuclear strikes against Iranian targets and urged the United Nations to
take urgent action against what it called a dangerous violation of
international law.
In a letter to U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan obtained by The
Associated Press, Iran's U.N. Ambassador Javad Zarif called President
Bush's refusal April 18 to rule out a U.S. nuclear strike on Iran and a
similar follow-up statement by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice
"illegal and insolent threats."
Bush was asked whether U.S. options regarding Iran "include the
possibility of a nuclear strike" if Tehran refuses to halt uranium
enrichment. "All options are on the table," Bush replied, but he
stressed that the United States will continue to focus on diplomacy.
Iran insists it is legally entitled under the Nuclear Nonproliferation
Treaty to enrich uranium to provide fuel for civilian power plants but
the United States suspects its real aim is to produce nuclear weapons,
a view backed by Britain and France.
Zarif said the use of "false pretexts" by senior U.S. officials "to
make public and illegal threats of resort to force against the Islamic
Republic of Iran is continuing unabated in total contempt of
international law and fundamental principles of the United Nations
Charter."
The "U.S. aggressive policy" of contemplating the possible use of
nuclear weapons also violates the nonproliferation treaty and other
U.S. multilateral agreements, he said.
"Such dangerous statements, particularly those of the United States
president, widely considered in political and media circles as a tacit
confirmation of the shocking news on the administration's possible
contemplation of nuclear strikes against certain targets in Iran,
defiantly articulate the United States policies and intentions on the
resort to nuclear weapons," Zarif said.
"In view of the past illegal behavior of the United States, these
assertions yet again constitute matters of extreme gravity that require
an urgent, concerted and resolute response on the part of the United
Nations and particularly the Security Council," he said.
"It is indeed regrettable that past failures of the United Nations in
responding to these illegal and inexcusable threats have emboldened
senior United States officials to go further and even consider the use
of nuclear weapons as an `option on the table,'" Zarif added.
After lengthy negotiations, the U.N. Security Council adopted a
statement a month ago demanding that Iran stop enriching uranium. A
report Friday from the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N.
nuclear watchdog, confirmed what the world already knew: Iran has
refused to stop enriching uranium.
The United States, Britain and France immediately announced plans to
introduce a new Security Council resolution this week that would make
Iran's compliance with their demands mandatory. To intensify pressure,
they want the resolution under Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter, which
means it can be enforced through sanctions or military action.
China and Russia, the two other council members with veto power, oppose
sanctions and military action and want the Iran nuclear issue resolved
diplomatically, with the IAEA taking the lead, not the Security
Council.
Bush called Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday to discuss Iran.
"The two leaders stressed the importance of preventing Iran from
obtaining nuclear weapons, especially in the United Nations Security
Council," White House press secretary Scott McClellan said.
A Kremlin statement said the two sides "discussed interaction on urgent
international problems, including the Iranian nuclear issue, on which
numerous consultations at various levels are to be held in the coming
days."
U.S. spokesman Stephane Dujarric said Annan had not yet received the
letter from Zarif. The U.S. Mission to the United Nations said it was
also waiting to see the letter before commenting.
