Here is the mission statement from IAEA web site, no interpretations required:

Mission Statement
The International Atomic Energy Agency:
is an independent intergovernmental, science and technology-based organization, in the United Nations family, that serves as the global focal point for nuclear cooperation;
assists its Member States, in the context of social and economic goals, in planning for and using nuclear science and technology for various peaceful purposes, including the generation of electricity, and facilitates the transfer of such technology and knowledge in a sustainable manner to developing Member States;
develops nuclear safety standards and, based on these standards, promotes the achievement and maintenance of high levels of safety in applications of nuclear energy, as well as the protection of human health and the environment against ionizing radiation;
verifies through its inspection system that States comply with their commitments, under the Non-Proliferation Treaty and other non-proliferation agreements, to use nuclear material and facilities only for peaceful purposes.

Now here is your statement:
To correct one factual misrepresentation in this posting: Yes, the IAEA has never found Iran to be in violation of the NPT, but it never will. Just as it never did in the case of North Korea. The IAEA does not draw conclusions about nations’ adherence to the NPT. It can only determine that a nation is in violation of IAEA safeguards agreements. The IAEA has done this for Iran. And since implementation of the safeguards agreement is an integral part of a nation’s NPT nonproliferation obligations, it is entirely fair and logical for many governments, including the US, to state that Iran has been found not to be in compliance with the Treaty.

I am going to leave it to others to draw their own conclusions. The IAEA was correct on Iraq (over a million killed and 4 million displaced) and people like you chose to ignore it for political ends. The IAEA has always declared that Iran has not diverted any material to a military program. The IAEA under intense political pressure from the zionists and their lackies in US administration(s) and congress has kept the Iran file open as a tool of blackmail. There are no legal or technical justification for the IAEA actions except intense zionist pressure on the board of governors.

The IAEA should however inspect all nuclear weapons labs, processing facilities in the US and go through every lab and facility in Israel and establish a comprehensive monitoring program for two of the biggest violators of NPT: US and Israel. Once thats done then some loud mouths in and out of the government can wrap themselves in a flag and start shouting at other countries. Till then these hypocritical moralistic claims by a bunch of duplicitous and hypocritical liars will be viewed as worthless. BTW, until I see GW and Dick C. and Don R. and other criminals who lied us into a war in a court of law being prosecuted for war crimes I wont beleive a word coming out of the mouths of our elite. I dont need to be lied to more than once to realize who I am dealing with.

What is a known fact is that Iran has not started a war in recent memory. Not used WMD against anyone. However we cant say the same thing about US and Israel. Two loud mouths that have a clear criminal history in starting numerous wars of aggression with the US being the only government in the history of mankind to have used nuclear weapons against civilians but somehow instead of its leaders who ordered such a criminal act and those who continue to defend and support it, be prosecuted for war crimes they have become loud mouths who preach morality to the rest of the planet. What a ridiculous joke.

It’s interesting to note that while Barack Obama keeps the “option on the table” for Iran’s non-existant nuclear arsenal – he has alway maintained a duct-tape on his mouth when it comes to Israel’s existing nuclear arsenal.

Obama ’s “carrot and pressure” diplomacy during the recently concluded Nuclear Security Summit in Washington to bring Russia, China, India, Brazil and Turkey failed once again. They all believe that Tehran’s nuclear program is not for the military purposes and that Israeli fear of a nuclear Iran should be resolved by peaceful negotiations. This leaves the Western ZOGs (the US, Britain, Germany and France) and Israel for the “Crippling sanctions” followed by a “military option” against Tehran.

Thank you for your comments, unfortunately with regard to Iran’s Nuclear rights, there is a similar altitude with many of Iranian intellectuals, especially with Greens and the expatriates, as is evident by the vote they cast in the last Presidential election of June 09, and the Greens position with proposed swap deal of October.

To my understanding, this group’s position is that any resolution of the nuclear standoff between Iran and the west will enhance and cement the current Islamic system in place for a long time to come. In other words, since in Iran currently no one politically or even physically affords to agree, to let go, some, or all of Iran’s NPT rights, and because of this groups deep hate for the current Islamic ruling system, therefore they prefer a status quo verses a resolution of the nuclear standoff.

There is a funny Yazdi Iranian proverb, which I have heard from my mother since my childhood, it perfectly matches this group of Iranian’s reasoning
for this issue. Translation of it is “To get even with whom who is washing your dirty cloths, one shouldn’t shit in his own pants”

I didn’t mean to imply that Israel as US ‘aircraft carrier’ made any sense, or, for that matter, that any of US policy toward Israel makes any sense. If Israel fell into the sea tomorrow it would not change the political dynamics of the region, except eliminate one of the distractions/misdirections used by Arabs and US alike to divert attention from their internal politics and the politics of oil. When FDR made the ‘forever’ pact with King Saud in 1945 for US to be the protector of the Kingdom in exchange for oil, Israel was shaping as more than just a glint in the eye of the Zionist movement – the Zionists were on the verge of establishment of a state – a state that has been another tribal antagonist in a region which already had too many. We know that Truman had great hesitation about supporting creation of Israel, but I doubt that even his best military and political advisors would have predicted the extent of the mess we have today. The Zionist/neo-con strategy of wedding US to Israel has been more successful than their wildest dreams – to the detriment of the whole world.

Its rather mind boggling, criminal, duplicitious and hypocritical for the US government who already has the criminal honor of using nuclear weapons against civilains in WWII and repeatedly since then has threatened non-nuclear weapon states with a nuclear strike in order to black mail them, to constantly cry foul about Iran’s civilain nuclear program, that even the US – zionist dominated IAEA board has not been able to definitively claim to be in violation of the NPT.

If I was Iran, I would immediately start a military nuclear program and weaponize my delivery system to safeguard my country against criminals who will not hesitate to start WWIII on false pretexts and outright lies.

Are you serious? The propaganda line of neocons that Israel is an “unsinkable aircraft carrier” needed to ensure US access to oil is so obviously spurious I would urge you to think again.

US military and foreign policy experts told Truman Israel would be a millstone around the neck of the US and adversely affect US relations with oil-producing Arab countries. This remains true today, more than 60 years later.
