 Ending talks, referring mullahs' nuclear file to Security Council only
way to confront Tehran's blackmail, preventing it from obtaining the
A-bomb
Following a week-long campaign of threats and blackmail, the clerical
regime started the process of breaking off the seals of the Isfahan nuclear facility last
night. French news agency quoted remarks by Supreme National Security
Spokesman (SNSC) Ali Agha Mohammadi on the state-run television in
which he said, "Initial preparations have been made. Inspectors from
the IAEA are working, controlling (surveillance) cameras and making
their own controls so that the seals can be removed," nuclear
negotiator Ali Agha Mohammadi said on state television. When their work
is completed this will mean that the (uranium conversion) plant at
Isfahan will restart. It is routine and practical work but from our
point of view Isfahan is already back online."
In a letter sent simultaneously to the International Atomic Energy
Agency, the mullahs claimed brazenly, "Iran wants to ensure that no
effort is spared in order to reach a negotiated resumption of its
enrichment activities. It is therefore, prepared to continue in good
faith and in an expeditious and result-oriented manner."
Starting up the Isfahan facility and this demagogic position make it
crystal clear that negotiations between the European Union and the
ruling theocracy have utterly failed. Former SNSC secretary and nuclear
point man Hassan Rowhani as well as other officials acknowledged that
the 21-month talks provided the greatest opportunity for the regime to
complete different parts of its nuclear weapons project. Ten days ago,
Rowhani said that at the start of the talks, "neither UF4, nor HF6 had
been produced in Isfahan. In fact, no such thing as Isfahan facility
existed… Today, we have started up and tested Isfahan on an industrial
scale and several tons of UF6 have been produced… We did not suspend
work at Isfahan site for a moment, until we completed it and had
results. Arak was never suspended to begin with."
Commenting on Isfahan facility's start-up, Mohammad Mohaddessin,
Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Council of
Resistance of Iran, said, "In truth, EU's policy of appeasement and
flexibility vis-à-vis the clerical regime has provided the
technological capabilities, sufficient time and a favorable political
climate for the advancement of nuclear weapons projects." He added,
"The EU's concessions in the past two years, especially the offer to
keep the People's Mojahedin Organization on the EU's terrorist list in
return for Tehran restricting its nuclear programs, were a clear sign
of weakness on the part of the international community and only
emboldened the terrorists ruling Iran to continue their nuclear
projects."
Now that there are no doubts as to the clerical regime's intensions to
obtain nuclear weapons, negotiations must be abandoned. The first
necessary step to prevent the mullahs from acquiring the atomic bomb is
to immediately refer their nuclear file to the United Nations Security
Council for the adoption of binding punishments.
