It increases the necessity and urgency of comprehensive sanctions against the Iranian regime
NCRI – The President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, described the latest report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on the nuclear activities of the religious fascism ruling Iran as an alarm bell for the international community. Mrs. Rajavi urged the UN Security Council to impose comprehensive oil, arms, technological and diplomatic sanctions against the clerical regime without further delay.
Mrs. Rajavi added: The report clearly demonstrates that when it comes to its nuclear projects, the clerical regime has no other objective but to obtain nuclear weapons. Its only goal for resorting to such ridiculous maneuvers as swapping low-enriched uranium with 20 percent enriched uranium in Turkey is to both delay or prevent approval of serious sanctions and also buy the time needed to obtain a nuclear bomb. Any delay in the imposition of comprehensive sanctions would only help the terrorist mullahs ruling Iran to get their hands on a nuclear weapon sooner.
Unable to curb the uprisings of the courageous people of Iran, the clerical regime needs a nuclear bomb now more than ever before for its survival and will never relinquish that objective. Therefore, the only way to rid the region and the world of fundamentalists armed with nuclear bombs is regime change by the people of Iran and their resistance.
The latest IAEA report states, among other things, that contrary to the relevant resolutions of the IAEA Board of Governors and the UN Security Council, which have called on the regime to cease its uranium enrichment in Natanz and Arak, the clerical regime has refused to do so; it has continued with uranium enrichment at the 20 percent level and is forging ahead with the construction of a reactor in Arak; It has denied IAEA access to the Heavy Water Production Plant in Arak while preventing the agency from taking samples of the heavy water currently in storage; and, it has defied the Additional Protocol.
The report adds that in the past two years, the regime “has declined to discuss the outstanding issues with the Agency or to provide any further information or access to locations and people necessary to address the Agency’s concerns,” leaving questions relating to the “possible military dimensions” of the nuclear program unanswered. The regime “has not provided the necessary cooperation to permit the Agency to confirm that all nuclear material in Iran is in peaceful activities,” it adds.
