U.S. Unilateralism Rebuffed Worldwide - KCNA News Analyst's Article

KCNA

    Pyongyang, November 6 (KCNA) -- The U.S. unilateral pressure on Iran has evoked a sensitive reaction in the international community. Recently, President Bush cited a groundless rumor about Iran's "development of nuclear bombs". He said it would not be tolerated, charging Iran with the "breach of international nuclear safeguards".
    Vice-President Dick Cheney and Defence Secretary Rumsfeld alleged that Iran was building two nuclear power plants in secrecy and hiding and backing al-Qaeda members, so tough measures should be taken against the Iranian government.
    Though Iran has decided to go ahead with its peaceful nuclear program in cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, U.S. State Undersecretary Bolton even said recently that the final means for a solution to the Iranian issue would be a military action.
    Meanwhile, the United States has tried in a planned way to destabilize the situation of Iran and disintegrate the country from within.
    The French newspaper Figaro and other European media have said that after the Iraqi war, Washington had become all the more offensive against Iran and that the hawks of Washington had already worked out a plan to destabilize the Iranian government and encourage the Iranians to start a riot against the government, and were attempting to carry it out overtly.
    The United States' escalated anti-Iran campaign indicates that it intends to stifle one anti-imperialist independent nation after another, particularly "members of the axis of evil" it designated, and replace the Islamic system with one based on the American-style value in the Middle East.
    The U.S. unilateral, high-handed practice, however, has touched off a strong protest in Iran.
    The Iranian Foreign Ministry voiced indignation at the United States seeking to isolate Iran and cause instability in society and vowed to defend the sovereignty of the country with the utmost resolution.
    Iran, to cope with the U.S. policy, is cementing national unity, while expanding and developing political and economic relations with Russia, the European Union and other countries.
    Khamenei, Iran's Islamic revolution leader, called for strengthening the unity of the Iranian people and dismissed the U.S. plan to topple the Iranian government under the pretext of the "nuclear issue" as foolish.
    Russia and other European countries, opposed to the U.S. unilateral policy towards the Middle East, are boosting cooperative ties with Iran.
    The Russian president pledged to strengthen the Moscow-Tehran cooperation for Iran's peaceful nuclear program, while the top diplomats of France, the EU, Australia and other countries had talks with their Iranian counterpart and agreed to further develop bilateral ties.
    Former German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt said the ultranationalist and unilateral thinking pattern of the Americans rendering the policy imperialist was more serious than that they pursued right after World War II.
    Iran is pushing ahead with its nuclear energy program, unyielding to the U.S. hostile policy.
