Iran is not pursuing a military nuclear program. It might have the desire for this, but it does not have a capacity that goes hand in hand with this desire. Dr Mohammed ElBaradei, the former Director General of the International Atomic Agency has said this time after time, while the current Director Yukiya Amano reiterated this in his first press conference after assuming his post as the agency's director. Then both the Geneva and Vienna meetings acknowledged this implicitly, with the six major powers offering Iran a proposal whereby the latter's uranium (enriched to 5 percent) would be enriched further to 19.75 percent. This would be suitable to operate the reactor near Tehran which conducts medical experiments (a military nuclear program requires uranium enriched beyond 90 percent). For instance, we heard that Iran has developed a neutron detonation trigger, a story that turned out to be based on fabricated documents. This reminds us of the forged documents about the uranium purchased by Iraq from Niger. Both forgeries were probably carried out by the same source, which I insist is Israel. The above is not a personal opinion, but solid and documented information that is devoid of any personal predilections. True, I have many reservations against Iran's policies in the region, whether in interfering in Iraqi affairs, or whether regarding its meddling in Lebanon, Palestine and now Yemen, not to mention its old new ambitions in the Gulf and its continuing occupation of the Three Islands. However, I am with Iran one thousand percent against Israel, to the extent with which I wish that Iran is lying, and that it is indeed producing, or has already produced, nuclear bombs. I also hope that this Iranian situation raises concern in both the near and far away Arab countries, and pushes them to also acquire nuclear weapons to confront Israel, and not Iran. In this vein, I was quite encouraged by the Emirati nuclear program with South Korea which was recently announced. The Iranian military nuclear program is nothing but a rumour started by Israel, which was not clearly denied by Iran because perhaps the latter wants to appear strong. It is fascistic and Likudnik arrogance that a country which did not sign the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty, and which itself has a sizable nuclear arsenal, wants a signatory country to commit to the treaty and threatens if it should otherwise not commit. Meanwhile, Iran is proclaiming its nuclear program to have peaceful purposes, and that it has the right to pursue such a program under the treaty. Once again, I hope here that Iran is lying, as every day brings with it a new “Israel” reason for me to support Iran. On the 16th of this month, a German Israeli Ministerial summit was held. The delegations of both countries were respectively headed by Chancellor Angela Merkel and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Following the meeting, Merkel raised the possibility of new severe sanctions against Iran to allay Israel's concerns. I want to ask here, why is Merkel not trying to also allay the concerns of the Palestinians and Arabs regarding her Israeli policies, which are ongoing despite the existence of an extremist fascistic government in Israel? Merkel spoke following reports that the six major countries, i.e. the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany, will meet and impose “crippling” sanctions, all for the sake of Israel and in response to a nonexistent military nuclear program. Merkel's statements were published on the 17th of this month, the day I read in the London bases newspaper the Sunday Times a news story that falls under the practice of yellow journalism that Israel is known for. Thus, the paper ran a story prepared by its correspondent in Tel Aviv Uzi Mahnaimi, a former secret service agent, entitled “Iranian dissident ‘killed by Arab hitman'”. The article quotes unnamed “opposition groups” by saying that the scientist Masoud Ali Mohammadi, a supporter of the opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi, was killed by a hitman from Hezbollah known as “Abu Nasser”...they even know his name. It was this very same Mahnaimi who once claimed that Israel produced an “ethnic” nuclear bomb. Thus, the reader of Rupert Murdoch's newspaper is supposed to put his thinking on hold and believe the claims of an Israeli journalist that a hitman was sent by Hezbollah to assassinate a dissident, who is not just any dissident, but a nuclear physicist. So it seems that the Iranian regime, which is pursuing a nuclear bomb, is killing its own nuclear scientists, while procuring a hitman from abroad because it apparently could not find a single hitman to do the job from the army, or the revolutionary guard or the Basij. Israel is a Nazi state that murders women and children in the Palestinian territories and steals the Palestinians' homes in Jerusalem, as it stole their entire country. It alone practices terrorism around the world and assassinate its enemies, or those which it perceives as its enemies, then accuses others of what it commits itself. Here too, I want to pause to say that while I do have reservations against Hezbollah's behaviour in Lebanon, and against its attempt to help Hamas in Gaza through Egypt which ruined Hezbollah's relations with the largest Arab country, I congratulate Hezbollah on not being drawn to carry out terrorist attacks abroad. This latter is what Israel wants Hezbollah to do. In any case, I am with Hezbollah, whether it is wrong or right, one thousand percent against Israel. While the reader can accept or reject my opinion, my information is always correct, and as I began this article with some bits of information, I will end it with other information. -All the fabrications of Israel and Merkel's and others' enthusiasm ended in nothing, as the meeting of the six countries in New York did not approve any additional sanctions after these latter were opposed by China, which sent a low level representative. - The Iranian regime is not facing the risk of collapse, whether now or in the future. - The most important issues raised by the Iranian opposition are domestic in nature. If this opposition should seize power, it will continue the nuclear program which started before moderates such as Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and Mohammad Khatami were in power and continued after them with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and it will continue even after him.
