Iran under Pressure while Israel Has Atom Bomb

"Iran's nuclear facilities are under the inspection and supervision of the IAEA and this has proved the peaceful nature of these facilities," Ibrahim al-Asiri told Al Alam news network.

Asiri stressed that Iran has never blocked inspection of its nuclear facilities since the agency started verifying the peaceful nature of the Iranian nuclear program.

He criticized the ongoing ballyhoo over Iran's nuclear program while Israel possesses nuclear weapons and delivery systems such as aircraft, submarines and missiles.

"The hue and cry against Iran is underway while it has been proved that Israel has nuclear weapons and plants which are used for military objectives in practice and has enriched enough plutonium for making 100 nuclear warheads," the former IAEA chief inspector lamented.

Iran has always stressed its full cooperation with the IAEA, and meantime protested that the world body is not fulfilling its duties with regard to Israel.

Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Fereidoon Abbasi said in September that Iran would continue cooperation with the IAEA but only within the framework of its present undertakings, stressing that Tehran may not accept any new undertaking in its ties with the UN nuclear watchdog agency.

Washington and its Western allies accuse Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons under the cover of a civilian nuclear program, while they have never presented any corroborative evidence to substantiate their allegations. Iran denies the charges and insists that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.

Tehran stresses that the country has always pursued a civilian path to provide power to the growing number of Iranian population, whose fossil fuel would eventually run dry.

Despite the rules enshrined in the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) entitling every member state, including Iran, to the right of uranium enrichment, Tehran is now under four rounds of UN Security Council sanctions for turning down West's calls to give up its right of uranium enrichment.

Tehran has dismissed West's demands as politically tainted and illogical, stressing that sanctions and pressures merely consolidate Iranians' national resolve to continue the path.
