Iran seeks report on powers' N-arms

This also came about during the UN's General Assembly 2008. Which i think is a good point, well made. The country that is the most open about its nuclear activities (Iran) calling for others to follow its example, if only a little bit. We could name a few, but both the US and Israel are developing the most WMD on the planet.

Iran seeks report on powers' N-arms
Wed, 24 Sep 2008 02:00:19 GMT


President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has urged the UN's atomic watchdog agency to report on the nuclear weapons of the world powers.

Ahmadinejad also called for a nuclear disarmament of these powers by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Ahmadinejad, speaking at the 63rd session of the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, slammed some world powers that are stockpiling weapons of mass destruction including atomic weapons and also threatening the world peace by installing new missile systems.

Ahmadinejad was indirectly referring to the US plan to deploy new missile shield in Eastern Europe.

He also voiced the Iranian nation's commitment to defend its nuclear rights, stressing that Tehran will not give up its rights under pressure from certain world powers.

“Despite the inalienable right of all nations to produce nuclear fuel for peaceful purposes and the fact that Iran's nuclear program has been transparent and Tehran has been cooperating with the IAEA inspectors and that the IAEA has confirmed peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program, some bullying powers try to hinder Iran's nuclear program,” Ahmadinejad insisted.

“These are the same countries that are producing new generation of nuclear arms and no international organization is monitoring their program. The catastrophe in Nagasaki and Hiroshima was perpetrated by one these powers,” Iran's president added.

Ahmadinejad stressed that such powers are not against a proliferation of nuclear weapons but they want to monopolize advanced technologies to use them as a tool to impose their own will on others.

“It is natural that the great Iranian nation will resist the bullying powers and will continue to defend their nuclear rights,” remarked the president.

Ahmadinejad suggested that it is time that the UN nuclear agency report to the international community on how it monitors the nuclear activities of major powers.

He also called for formation of a disarmament committee by independent states to monitor the disarmament of the nuclear powers.
