(Editorial) Iran`s nuclear case will never go to UN Security Council
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, Feb 9, IRNA -- Suffering from humiliation after the US propaganda campaign against Iranian nuclear program failed in the latest meeting of the Board of the Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to refer the case to the UN Security Council, Washington has embarked on a new series of lobbying for such a referral. WHEN A CASE BE REFERRED TO SECURITY COUNCIL? Being surrounded by anti-Iran hostility, the US officials have lost logic and seem they do not know the procedure for referral of a case to the United Nations Security Council. Let`s remind those who filled with vengeance against Iranian nation that as long as a nation respects the criteria of the international community and the regulations being enforced by the specialized agencies, there is nothing to be referred to the United Nations Security Council. As long as Iranian nation and the government they have brought to power is concerned, no violation has taken place in terms of Iranian obligations about Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and the IAEA safeguards. Iran has granted free and short notice inspections to all its nuclear sites as per the Additional Protocol to NPT it signed with the IAEA. WASHINGTON SUFFERING FROM SUPERIORITY COMPLEX Once having all the affairs of Iranian nation under control, the United States has developed a complex toward Iran after the Islamic Revolution in 1979 helped get rid of the US neo-colonialism. Washington never recognized establishment of the Islamic Republic in Iran in the past quarter-of-a-century in light of the superiority complex and lack of respect for national resolve of Iranians who decided to live in independence and determine their own fate. WASHINGTON FROZE 12 BILLION DOLLARS IRANIAN DEPOSITS WITH US BANKS Since, the deposed regime of Shah placed confidence in the US banking system, the former regime used to deposit national savings with the US banks and soon after triumph of the Islamic Revolution, the White House ordered to freeze the deposits as a first step to undermine the fledgling popular government in Tehran. It seems Washington could not understand the heavy price the nation paid to restore independence in 1979 and it believed that the same master-lackey relationship should continue between Washington and Tehran. IRAN SUPPORTS HONORABLE PEACE IN MIDDLE EAST Iranian nation, after establishment of the Islamic Republic could not remain indifferent to the tension in the region originated from occupation of territory of the Palestinians by Israel, on one hand, and the everyday massacre of the Muslim nation of Palestine by Israel, on the other. The 50-year record of Israel proved that it does not want peace with Palestinians and genocide of Palestinians is the only belief Israel has cherished in the past 50 years both in theory and practice. DOUBLE STANDARD ON DEFINITION OF TERRORISM The Islamic Republic of Iran has regularly expressed concern about the United States unconditional support for Israel and urged Washington to consider the humanitarian values in dealing with the dilemma of Palestine. But, ignoring the reason for the Iranian concerns about Palestinians, Washington has been adamant in accusing Iran of supporting Palestinian freedom fighters. The Islamic Republic of Iran has made clear that Iran`s support for Palestinian freedom fighters is only from humanitarian perspective and has moral significance. On the other hand, according to the international law and the regulations of the United Nations, the campaign of the Palestinians to liberate their territory cannot be interpreted as terrorism. Absolutely, Iran is keen on peace and security of the Middle East and will support any move either by the United Nations or by active participation of the United States and the European Union to establish peace in the Middle East through recognizing the Palestinians rights to come to their homeland and determine their own fate by establishment of the state of Palestine with the Holy Qods as its capital. 1416/1416
