Iran Seeks Condemnation of Israeli Nukes

Something tells me the Security Council wont be eagerly and earnestly addressing the issue. Like so much else which has to do with Israel, Jews or the ideology of Zionism. Iran is of course correct in this. And had Israel declared the ownership of nuclear weapons in the first place they may have been able to flout the rules, much like the US, Russia et al. But now they are open to the same scrutiny as any other suspected “new” nuclear state, at least in theory. Israel’s nuclear hypocrisy is something that we must never fail to point out or tire of debating. We must never forget those who paid the price for speaking the truth.

UNITED NATIONS — Iran demanded Tuesday that the U.N. Security Council condemn what it said was Israel’s clandestine development of nuclear weapons and “compel” it to place all its nuclear facilities under U.N. inspection.

If Israel refuses to comply, Iran said the council must take “resolute action” under Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter which authorizes a range of measures from diplomatic and economic sanctions to military action.

Given Israel’s hardheaded assertions about Iran’s supposed nuclear weapons ambitions and threats against the nation, among other things to “wipe Iran off the map” (see, anyone can misquote), not to mention Israel’s hostile stance, poor human rights record, bankrupt judiciary, terrorism and sponsorship of terrorism, illegal occupation, a history of aggressive wars and preemptive attacks on sovereign states, Iran has a right to defend itself and is now putting its faith in the international community.
