Iranians Want Capacity to Enrich Uranium But Accept NPT Rules Against Developing Nuclear Weapons - World Public Opinion

Iranians Want Capacity to Enrich Uranium But Accept NPT Rules Against Developing Nuclear Weapons - World Public Opinion
"We might tarry for a moment to ask whether there is any solution to the U.S.-Iran confrontation over nuclear weapons. Here is one idea:(1)Iran should have the right to develop nuclear energy, but not weapons, in accord with the NPT. (2)A nuclear weapons-free zone should be established in the region, including Iran, Israel, and U.S. forces deployed there. (3)The United States should accept the NPT. (4)The United States should end threats against Iran and turn to serious diplomacy.
The proposals are not original. These are the preferences of the large majority of Americans, and also Iranians, in polls by World Public Opinion, which found that Americans and Iranians agree on basic issues." (Noam Chomsky, Hopes and Prospects)

Hilary: "it’s not so much the timing as to when if – when or how the Iranians might pursue the nuclear weapons, it’s whether they do so."

Interview With David Sanger and Mark Landler of The New York Times

Hillary Rodham Clinton
Secretary of State

August 6, 2010



SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, that would be based on intelligence assessments so I’m not going there.

QUESTION: But it’s also based on your conversations with allies who are --

SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, let me just – let me say that based on my conversations with allies, it’s not so much the timing as to when if – when or how the Iranians might pursue the nuclear weapons, it’s whether they do so. And so whether it would take six months, a year, or five years, it’s that deep concern about Iran acquiring nuclear weapons that is the preoccupation of our friends and partners. And we would be pursuing the path we’re pursuing regardless of any issue of timing because we think it’s got the best potential for changing Iranian behavior.

QUESTION: One of your colleagues made the observation a few weeks ago that if, in fact, the Iranians don’t respond to the sanctions, don’t come back in a serious way in the September, October period, that the time may come for you or the President or others to speak – to use that phrase, “All options on the table,” more vigorously than you have. And I noticed that the President did use it briefly with the columnists the other day. Is there a sort of a conscious decision underway here to reinforce to the Iranians that you’re giving this limited time?

SECRETARY CLINTON: (Inaudible) I think we’ve always said that we were looking at all kinds of approaches to resolving this very threatening situation. So I don’t want to characterize what we’re doing now other than to say we’ve always pursued a two-track approach of pressure and engagement and we continue to do so, and I don’t think the President or any of us want to be issuing public red lines at this point. The President’s been very clear that Iran should understand that he is leaving all options on the table and that they should take him at his word, but I don’t think it benefits our efforts to go much further than that.

Muhammad Sahimi « Antiwar Radio with Scott Horton and Charles Goyette

Muhammad Sahimi « Antiwar Radio with Scott Horton
Muhammad Sahimi, Professor of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Southern California, discusses the Iran/Turkey/Brazil enriched uranium swap agreement, the predictable negative reception from Europe and the US, further demands upon Iran and continuing sanctions meant to queer the deal, Hillary Clinton’s last minute attempt to dissuade Turkey and Brazil from cooperating with Iran and why arguing for Iran’s rights under the NPT is not an endorsement of Ahmadinejad or the ayatollahs.

ANTIWAR.COM: The Iran bomb threat talks are unreliable

Philip Giraldi « Antiwar Radio with Scott Horton and Charles Goyette

Former CIA and DIA officer Philip Giraldi discusses evidence that documents contradicting the 2007 US National Intelligence Estimate on Iran are forgeries, the history of Rupert Murdoch-owned media passing along propaganda from Israeli and British intelligence, how bogus news stories create a deeply ingrained false narrative and distort public perception, the overwhelming Congressional support for warlike sanctions on Iran, the possibility Osama bin Laden is long-dead and how ending military occupations would almost completely eliminate terrorism.
