Deceptions over the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty

Iran is not in violation of the NPT, but America has been in violation ever since the day we signed it.

America will also continue to forfeit credibility by playing along with Israel’s ineffective nuclear ambiguity.

Blowing Doors and Nuclear Deceptions, the peoplesvice.org, April 23rd, 2010  eileen fleming Last week’s two-day summit on nuclear security in Washington was attended by leaders of 47 countries. Iran was not invited, but did host a two-day conference in Tehran on nuclear disarmament with sixty countries represented.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a statement delivered at the conference stating that nuclear weaponry was “haram” meaning prohibited under Islam.

Oman’s Foreign Affairs Minister Yusuf bin Alawi bin Abdallah said, “The Islamic Republic of Iran emphasizes that it is pursuing a peaceful, and not, as certain states claim, a military nuclear goal. We have taken part in the Tehran conference in a bid to reemphasize that Iran’s nuclear program is peaceful.” [1]

President Obama’s drive for tougher sanctions on Iran picked up momentum at the D.C. nuclear security summit, which focused at finding ways to prevent terrorists from getting their hands on weapons-grade nuclear material……We know that Al Qaeda leaders have said they would use a nuclear weapon, but they aren’t even close to building a bomb.

We also know that largely unreported is the fact that the United Nations General Assembly approved a draft resolution put forward by Iran on nuclear disarmament in October 2009, despite strong opposition from the U.S., Britain, France, Israel and a number of western countries.

“The resolution ratified in the first committee of the UN General Assembly calls on all nuclear countries to destroy their nuclear weapons under the supervision of international bodies…The resolution also urges Israel to join the NPT and allow the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to inspect its nuclear facilities.” [3]

Many in America will blow off Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s flaming rhetoric as engaging in anti-American propaganda, but in the big world, his speech blew the doors off Israel’s nuclear ambiguity and American policy:…..

America has a nuclear arsenal of over 10,000 weapons and nearly 2,000 remain on

hair-trigger alert ever since the end of the Cold War and American taxpayers provide over $54 billion annually to maintain a nuclear arsenal.

An estimated 150 – 240 tactical nuclear weapons remain based in 5 NATO countries and the United States is the only country with nuclear weapons deployed on foreign soil……….

The NPT/Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, was created in 1968, and maintains that nuclear weapons proliferation can only be curtailed if nuclear countries move toward disarmament while the rest of the world is allowed to access civilian nuclear technology.

Iran signed the NPT, which allows them the right to have nuclear power and to enrich uranium. Israel has not signed the NPT.

The 185 non-nuclear states have agreed to give up the right to have nuclear weapons and the five nuclear powers that signed the NPT agreed to get rid of their nuclear weapons.

Iran is not in violation of the NPT, but America has been in violation ever since the day we signed it.

America will also continue to forfeit credibility by playing along with Israel’s ineffective nuclear ambiguity. Blowing Doors and Nuclear Deceptions
