European powers, US warn Iran over unexplained nuclear materials

2023-09-15

[IsraelTimes] Washington, London, Gay Paree and Berlin tell IAEA that if Iranians don’t provide explanations needed, UN atomic agency will need to take further action to hold Tehran accountable

Like what? The IAEA has no brigades, and we’ve seen that international sanctions are a) not respected by the countries imposing them, and b) unable to keep Iran from continuing to develop its Shiite nukes. And only Israel has been willing to do the sabotage, assassination, and tqrgetted missiles necessary, and only then they can only work around the edges where the big boys can’t adt to block them.

Britannia, the US, La Belle France and Germany told the UN’s nuclear agency that Iran
Iran

...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate ~~Jews~~ ~~Zionists~~ Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
must clarify remaining questions over its nuclear program or face further action against it.

However,
corruption finds a dozen alibis for its evil deeds...
the four countries said an ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency resolution on the matter would only be needed if the Iranians do not comply.

"Iran cannot continue to fail to meet its legal safeguards obligations," the group of four countries said in a Wednesday statement to the IAEA board, which is meeting in Vienna. "We urge Iran to act without delay to clarify and resolve all outstanding issues."

Among the issues concerned are reinstalling IAEA monitoring cameras Tehran had removed from its known nuclear sites, and explaining the presence in Iran of uranium particles enriched to near weapons-grade level.

"If Iran fails to implement the essential and urgent actions... the Board will have to be prepared to take further action... to hold Iran accountable in the future, including the possibility of a resolution," the statement said.

President Biden just gave them $6 billion and a bunch of spies, with the implied promise of more money later. Again, shat is the Board going to do that matters?

The quartet noted it has been more than four years since undeclared nuclear material was found at undeclared locations in Iran and that in November 2022 the IAEA decided it is "essential and urgent" that Iran clarify the issues.

Clearly, the IAEA’s definition of urgent isn’t.

The countries said Iran must provide "without further delay, technically credible information" about nuclear material and contaminated equipment found at sites in Turquzabad and Varamin.

“Got those locations, Corporal Shoshana?”
“Yes, ma’am! Calculating targetting coordinates for the F-35s now, Sgt. Rivka!”

Without such explanations, the statement said, the IAEA will not be able to provide assurance that Iran’s nuclear program "is exclusively peaceful."

Given that it has from the beginning been explicitly not peaceful...

"Iran persists in its deliberate refusal to engage earnestly with the Agency," it said.

If the countries controlling the IAEA were actually serious, perhaps Iran would take it seriously.

On Monday, IAEA director Rafael Grossi lamented there was a "decrease of interest" by IAEA members states regarding Iran’s nuclear program, without naming them.

Joe Biden’s America, for one.

The comments followed an easing tensions between Iran and the United States, which announced a prisoner swap last month.

"We are aware that there is a bilateral process of sorts. We have been informed by the United States about this. But when it comes to the nuclear part, (it is) not clear what is being discussed," Grossi stressed at the time.

Last week, the IAEA said in confidential reports seen by AFP that Iran had made "no progress" on several outstanding nuclear issues.

In 2015, major world powers reached a deal with Iran, under which Tehran would curb its nuclear program in exchange for relief from crippling economic sanctions.

That started to unravel in 2018 when then-US president Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
unilaterally withdrew from the pact and reimposed sanctions. Tehran in turn stepped up its nuclear program.

Efforts to revive the deal have been fruitless so far.

As far as Iran was concerned, the purpose of President Obama’s deal was to ease sanctions and give them time to quietly develop their nuclear bomb and refine their uranium without interference. Now that they’ve reached that point without their centrifuges being pounded to rubble, they have no more need for a “deal.”

Iran has always denied any ambition to develop a nuclear weapons capability, insisting its activities are entirely peaceful.

Taqqiya.
