The discussions about Iran and the problems of nuclear safety have been going on all week long in the United States. Politicians in New York and experts in Washington were talking about how to prevent a nuclear catastrophe in the future.
Talks about the inevitability of military conflict over Iran’s nuclear program are relevant and popular once again. “As part of our effort on non-proliferation, I offered the Islamic Republic of Iran an extended hand last year, and underscored that it has both rights and responsibilities as a member of the international community. I also said — in this hall — that Iran must be held accountable if it failed to meet those responsibilities,” said American President Barack Obama, speaking at the UN General Assembly. In response, Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad mocked the Americans and denounced the Zionist conspiracy. At the same time, he enticed and split the West over the possibility of new negotiations.
Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergei Lavrov, on behalf of the union of the “Six” (Russia, the United States, China, Britain, France and Germany), expressed “hope for an early negotiated settlement of Iran’s nuclear problem.” In diplomatic speak, this means it’s not worth it to delay talks for the sake of Tehran.
In Washington, during meetings of the Luxembourg Forum, which brings together 60 experts on nuclear safety from 14 countries, former Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Igor Ivanov said that Iran’s nuclear program was more like Ahmadinejad’s public relations deal than a real threat. Not everyone agrees with this statement. The President of the European Jewish Congress, Vyacheslav Kantor, believes that negotiations with Tehran are pointless, will not lead to anything positive and even give a break to Iran as well as the possibility of another step “to develop nuclear weapons and new means of delivering extended range.”
In New York and Washington, there was a lot of talk about mutual trust among major world powers in the matter of preventing a nuclear catastrophe and non-proliferation of nuclear weapons in the world — particularly about the lack of necessary confidence. Of course, President Medvedev’s decree to prohibit supplying Iran with missiles and weapons was welcomed by the U.S., but on the sidelines, he was constantly asked what the catch was.
Israel is stressed out by the delivery of Russian missiles to Syria. “The arms trade is a delicate issue,” said Igor Ivanov to Kommersant. “In this situation, mutual trust and understanding of whether these deliveries lead to destabilization in the region are important. We believe that the delivery to Syria will not lead to destabilization. It is necessary for everything to be open. There have been suspicions about Iran, but they have not been confirmed.”
The alignment of global interests among countries facing the threat of nuclear holocaust in the future with their local military interests, now and in specific regions, is a complex problem. I tried to find out from Vyacheslav Kantor which is more difficult for him: persuading Moscow to limit its military cooperation with Arab countries or convincing Tel Aviv that such cooperation does not pose a threat to Israel. According to the former chairman of the Russian Jewish Congress and current head of the EJC, it is clear that it’s hard everywhere. He avoided a direct answer.
Experts fear that through Iran or North Korea nuclear weapons will end up in either Latin America (this perspective was spoken of for the first time; everyone is scared of Hugo Chavez, with his idea of peaceful nuclear energy), or in the hands of Islamic terrorists. These potential threats must join the world powers, who have not trusted each other for a very long time.
Kantor proposed the establishment of a military headquarters for rapid response in Brussels. He suggested that Russia and the United States could carry out this project. His appeal was ignored in Washington. Meanwhile, as in Russia with Lukashenko, it has been decided to strengthen the informational pressure on Ahmadinejad.
Ahmadinejad looks more like a buffoon than a believing Muslim and an upright politician. Islam teaches humility and piety and not boasting and bragging. The Iranians vastly differ from the great majority of Sunni Muslims in their faith in Islam. One has only to look at the contrast between the Iranians and the Turks. The Iranian Mullahs calling themselves Imam (leader) claim direct descendents of the Grandson of the Holy Prophet. But there is a manifest contradiction in their piety and honesty. The incumbent Mullah has blatantly rigged election of Ahmadinejad and ruthlessly suppressed dissent. He has lost face and integrity before Iranians. The stupid Iranian Army Chief is reported to have written a letter to the occult Imam Mehdi to come out of the hiding and elevate Iran as a mega super power. There is consensus on the coming of this figure in the Islamic world. His arrival coincides with the descent of Jesus Christ. Both are harbingers of peace and blessings to the whole world. Iran’s euphoria is, therefore, false and misleading. America is unnecessarily dragged in a conflict with this jester and a clown by Israel. Iran and Israel are both intoxicated with false euphoria, Israel only more so. Iran’s ruling Mullah is fully exposed as a liar on the election of Ahmadinejad. The UNO can hold a referendum to find out his credibility with the Iranian people. As for Israel, the Zionists are manifest atheists and cheats. The founding father of Israel outright rejected God with contempt at the founding ceremony. The mere fact that the oath at the ceremony was administered minus God in the name of the “Rock of Israel,” is fright with a terrible catastrophe. Not only it has sealed the fate of Israel becoming a Jewish State, but the blatant sin that Ben Gurion committed has cast a dark cloud at Israel’s very survival. In the past Jewish hawks have been defying God’s messengers. Then they even splayed some of the messengers. Now the stupid Ben Gurion contemptuously just got rid of Him once and for all. Thus the peace process is a mere farce. Jews have known heavenly retributions in the past culminating in the Holocaust. This wrongdoing of denying faith in God might even surpass the Golden Calf episode. The fear is it might such even America in the catastrophe which is just waiting to happen. Presidents Barack Obama and Shimon Peres, please read the writing on the wall.
