Iranian Paranoia In Full Swing....Accuse IAEA Of Passing Nuclear Secrets To Israel

Perhaps the Israeli strategy all along was to make Iran certain that they were going to attack Iran at any moment and then just wait.....wait for the crazy mullahs in Iran to simply melt down under the pressure of the anticipation of destruction.

Pretty much every day now there is a new accusation coming from Iran and today it is that the U.N.'s IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) has been passing along secrets about Iran's nuclear facilities to the Iranians.  Hahahaha!

First thing ....the IAEA is made up of Muslim terrorists so I really doubt they would give any useful information to the Israelis - if anything, they would give the WRONG info if it would do anything to help destroy Israel.  And secondly, the Iranians haven't let the IAEA anywhere NEAR anything top secret at their facilities so how would the IAEA have anything to relay to the Israelis?

The story comes from The Jerusalem Post.

Iran accuses IAEA of passing nuclear secrets to Israel


DUBAI - A senior Iranian lawmaker accused the head of the United Nations' nuclear watchdog on Sunday of passing confidential information about Iran's nuclear activities to Israel.

In the latest sign of strained relations with the International Atomic Energy Agency, Javad Jahangirzadeh, a member of parliament's presiding board, said IAEA chief Yukiya Amano would be to blame if Iran reduced its ties with the body.

"Amano's repeated trips to Tel Aviv and asking the Israeli officials' views about Iran's nuclear activities indicates that Iran's nuclear information has been disclosed to the Zionist regime (Israel) and other enemies of the Islamic Republic," Jahangirzadeh was quoted as saying by Iran's English-language Press TV.

"If the agency's actions lead to Iran cutting cooperation with this international body, all responsibility will be with the IAEA director general," said Jahangirzadeh, a member of parliament's national security and foreign policy committee.

The IAEA was not immediately available to comment on his allegation.

Last week, Iranian nuclear energy chief Fereydoun Abbasi-Davani said "terrorists" might have infiltrated the Vienna-based agency. He suggested the IAEA included too much sensitive information about Iran's nuclear program in its reports that he said could be used by saboteurs.

Western diplomats dismissed his allegations as an attempt to distract attention away from the agency's bid to gain access to a site in Iran it suspects was used for nuclear weapons research, something Tehran denies.

Iran blames Israel and its Western allies for the assassination of nuclear scientists in Iran, including an unsuccessful attempt on Abbasi-Davani in November 2010. It also blames those countries for computer viruses that appeared designed to damage its nuclear machinery.

The 35-nation board of the agency censured Iran earlier this month for defying international demands to curb uranium enrichment and failing to address mounting disquiet about its suspected research into atomic bombs.

The resolution prompted Iran's Parliament Speaker, Ali Larijani, to cast doubt on the benefit of Iran's membership in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), the Tehran Times reported.

The commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, Mohammad Ali Jafari, told a news conference last week that Tehran would withdraw from the NPT if attacked by Israel which has increased hints it may launch air strikes on Iran's nuclear sites.

Iran's parliament does not decide matters of foreign policy and national security, which are the province of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Are the Iranians Trying To Cover Up the Evidence of Their Nukes?

I guess the title here is one of the dumbest questions I've ever asked here at Holger Awakens but this article at The Jerusalem Post is pretty interesting as to how the Iranians are trying to continue to dupe the United Nations and their watchdog, the IAEA.

You can see from all of the photos at the article that there is pretty suspicious stuff going at Iran's nuclear site and as is usually the case, the Islamists get caught with their hands in the cookie jar.  But hey, don't worry...the U.N. will send a team in about a month from now, find the site clean as a whistle and declare that indeed the Iran facilities are all about being able to run the country's four air conditioners.

Think-tank: Iran covering building IAEA wants to visit


VIENNA - A US think-tank published satellite imagery on Friday which it said showed "pink colored material" covering a building at a sensitive military site in Iran which UN nuclear inspectors want to visit.

The Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) said the tarp - at the Parchin military complex - might be an attempt to conceal alleged clean-up work there at a time when Iran is under growing international pressure to open up its disputed nuclear program to scrutiny.

The images were consistent with a Reuters story on Thursday, which cited diplomatic sources as saying a brightly-colored tent-like structure now covered the building.

The UN International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) believes that explosives tests relevant to the development of nuclear weapons were conducted in a steel chamber in the building, possibly a decade ago, and wants to go there to search for evidence.

The IAEA pressed Iran again in talks on Friday to address concerns about suspected nuclear weapons research in the Islamic state, repeating requests for access to Parchin, but their meeting ended without an agreement.

In recent months, Western diplomats have cited satellite pictures showing extensive sanitization efforts at the site in what they describe as an apparent attempt to remove any evidence of illicit nuclear activity.

Iran, which denies Western allegations that it is seeking a nuclear weapon capability, says Parchin is a conventional military facility and has dismissed allegations about it as "ridiculous."

ISIS, which tracks Iran's nuclear program closely, said commercial satellite imagery it had obtained from Aug. 15 "clearly shows the suspected high explosive test building covered in a pink-colored material."

Citing experts it had consulted, it said the size of the building had increased and that it believed that a covering tarp was supported underneath by scaffolding, adding that similar activity appeared to be taking place at a nearby building.

"The purpose of covering the buildings could be to conceal further clean-up activity from overhead satellites or to contain the activity inside," ISIS said.

"Alternatively, tarps could provide a cover for the demolition of the buildings, or portions of them, while also containing the spread of potentially contaminated debris," it added.

Iran says it must first agree a broader framework deal with the IAEA on how the agency should conduct its probe into suspected nuclear weapons research in the country before possibly allowing inspectors access to Parchin, a sprawling complex southeast of the capital Tehran.

More than 60 nuclear experts at work building Iranian nuclear bomb

Well, for all of those out there that seem to think the Iranians really aren't hard at the development of nuclear weapons, there's a little more evidence that's come out of Iran in the past day or so that should help clarify how quickly and seriously the Iranians are progressing to that end.

From the report at DEBKA:

The names and addresses of 60 Iranian experts employed by 11 different Iranian agencies under the control of the Iranian Defense Ministry were revealed Saturday, May 12, by the main Iranian opposition Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK/PMOI). This is the first time an extensive, highly secret, central organizational structure dedicated to building a nuclear weapon has been revealed in detail – specifically the Ministry of Defense under the command of the Revolutionary Guard Corps, which also runs the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant.
The information updated to April 2012 was provided by “sources within the Iranian regime’s agencies, including military institutions.”
It contradicts the fundamental conclusion reached by the US and five world powers and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) - that Iran’s nuclear program is not run by a single organization - on the basis of which they entered into negotiation with Tehran. Most of all, it refutes another key argument heard in the West that Iran has not yet decided to actually build a weapon because Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei’s said it would be a “sin.”

Now, some will say that this is just propaganda by the opposition to the Ayatollah's regime but the fact of the matter is that we haven't been able to believe one thing coming from the IAEA for literally years - we have caught the IAEA in outright lies many times and only when the evidence was undeniable, did the IAEA finally admit they had covered up things.  So yes, I'm willing to believe the hell out of what the Iranian opposition has to say.

More than 60 nuclear experts at work building Iranian nuclear bomb


The names and addresses of 60 Iranian experts employed by 11 different Iranian agencies under the control of the Iranian Defense Ministry were revealed Saturday, May 12, by the main Iranian opposition Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK/PMOI). This is the first time an extensive, highly secret, central organizational structure dedicated to building a nuclear weapon has been revealed in detail – specifically the Ministry of Defense under the command of the Revolutionary Guard Corps, which also runs the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant.
The information updated to April 2012 was provided by “sources within the Iranian regime’s agencies, including military institutions.”
It contradicts the fundamental conclusion reached by the US and five world powers and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) - that Iran’s nuclear program is not run by a single organization - on the basis of which they entered into negotiation with Tehran. Most of all, it refutes another key argument heard in the West that Iran has not yet decided to actually build a weapon because Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei’s said it would be a “sin.”
The Mujahedin-e Khalq, which Tehran accuses of collaborating with US and Israeli intelligence to assassinate its nuclear scientists, clearly timed the publication of its findings for 11 days before the Six Powers were due to hold a second round of nuclear talks with Iran in Baghdad on May 23, debkafile’s intelligence and Iranian sources report.
Ahead of the meeting, US administration sources put about word that a compromise deal developed in the direct backdoor channel between Washington and Tehran had a good chance of coming before the meeting. It was said to consist of three points of accord: Allowing uranium enrichment up to 5 percent purity to continue; barring enrichment up to 20 percent (effectively discontinuing work at Fordow); and exporting Iran’s entire 20 percent in stock to prevent its use for bomb production.
According to debkafile’s Iranian intelligence sources, there is no such deal: Tehran is not willing either to stop 20 percent uranium enrichment or shut down the Fordow plant. Just the opposite: DEBKA-Net-Weekly, the only Western publication following the secret US-Iranian negotiations, last week quoted a message from Khamenei to President Barack Obama flatly refusing to close Fordow, whose sole purpose is the production of 20 percent grade uranium which brings the fuel a short step before weapons grade.
After procuring Washington’s consent to 5 percent enrichment – over strong Israeli protests – Tehran has been encouraged to fight for 20 percent as well. The probable point of accord would be a ceiling on quantity.
Other American sources most recently explained their optimism about a successful culmination of the secret talks by Tehran’s admission for the first time that it was engaged in developing a nuclear weapon, which it hitherto denied. This laid the issue open to negotiation.
All in all, Jerusalem takes issue with US acceptance of the above deal as “bad for Israel.” It refuses to accept anything less than a complete halt of all uranium enrichment forthwith, the shutdown of Fordow and the removal of every scrap of enriched uranium from Iran.
This position was put firmly before the European Union Foreign Executive Catherine Ashton by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and the heads of his unity government, Defense Minister Ehud Barak, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman and designated Deputy Prime Minister Shaul Mofaz, last Wednesday, May 9.
She arrived in Jerusalem the day after the expanded Netanyahu government was formed to find out where it stood on the Iranian question.
The exhaustively detailed Mujahedin-e Khalq document presents a completely new picture of a well-advanced and centralized nuclear weapons program, quite different from the one broadcast by the US and its fellow nuclear negotiators - and even by some Israeli circles.
Refuting the belief Iran has not actually started building a nuclear warhead or bomb, the Iranian opposition group provides chapter and verse to demonstrate that Iran is way past the decision and flying ahead at top speed on its manufacture.
The project is revealed to be working out of the “headquarters of the Iranian Defense Ministry’s SPND (New Defense Research Organization) at the Mojdeh site in the western part of Malek Ashtar University in the Lavizan region.”
(This university was first exposed in 2009 along with its three campuses in Tehran, Isfahan and Urma.)
Where the document breaks startling new ground is in detailing the SPND’s 7 sub-sections, “each of which conducts research and tests in a specific field:”

1. Working on the main element for the bomb, i.e. enriched uranium and fissile material.

2. Shaping and molding the required material, including metal elements, to build a warhead.

3. Producing metals required for building a nuclear warhead.

4. Producing high-explosive material used to detonate a nuclear bomb.

5. Conducting research on advanced chemical material.

6. Blue prints and carrying out electronic calculations required for building a nuclear warhead.

7. Laser activities applicable in the nuclear field.
To each sub-division, the Mujahedin-e Khalq document has attached diagrams of its internal structure plus the full names and addresses of its heads, officers, researchers and the liaison offices among the departments. Some are provided with their landline and cell phone numbers. The information is said be updated to April 2012.
In response to these revelations, some official American sources commented that they could not be confirmed and were skeptical about the document’s credibility. Our intelligence sources note that all of this Iranian group’s previous disclosures in the past nine years have proved accurate.

United Nations' IAEA Finally Comes Clean and Reveals Iran's Work Towards Nuclear Weapons

It's my estimation that every United Nations official associated with the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency needs to be brought up on charges of coercion with the Iranian government and sentenced to prison. Well, now that the evidence of Iran's efforts to create nuclear warheads is mountainous, the U.N. agency is saying that indeed the Iranians are guilty of bringing nuclear weapons into their arsenal.

From the report at The Jerusalem Post:

In the most critical and damning report of Iran’s nuclear program to date, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Tuesday that the Islamic Republic is working to develop a nuclear-weapon design and is conducting extensive research and tests only relevant for a nuclear weapon.

"The agency has serious concerns regarding possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear program," the IAEA said in the report, which included a 13-page annex with key technical descriptions of its research. “The information indicates that Iran has carried out activities relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device."

I mean, does this news come as news to ANYONE??!! Are there people on earth who actually believed the Iranians when they professed their nuclear ambitions were for power to run air conditioners and frigidaires?

Blow this damn country into the stratosphere and do it now. Call your Congressman and Senators and tell them you expect military action taken against Iran in order to safeguard the security of the United States of America.

IAEA confirms Iran worked on building nuclear bomb


In the most critical and damning report of Iran’s nuclear program to date, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Tuesday that the Islamic Republic is working to develop a nuclear-weapon design and is conducting extensive research and tests only relevant for a nuclear weapon.

"The agency has serious concerns regarding possible military dimensions to Iran's nuclear program," the IAEA said in the report, which included a 13-page annex with key technical descriptions of its research. “The information indicates that Iran has carried out activities relevant to the development of a nuclear explosive device."

Israel played a key role in helping the IAEA compile the report and its intelligence agencies provided critical information over the years used in the report. Israel now hopes that the United States will use the report to push through a new regimen of sanctions against Iran including a focus on the Central Bank of Iran and the Iranian energy sector.

The report can be found here.

In the report, the IAEA reveals a list of Iranian research centers that are connected to the work on the nuclear weapons program.

The agency says that it frequently confronted Iran with information it obtained from various IAEA member states – including documents seized from computers belonging to members of a black market nuclear arms network which supplied technology to Iran. The reference is likely to the Pakistani ring led by AQ Kahn.

The report focuses on three main technical areas - the “green salt project”, a name for a covert Iranian program to enrich military-grade uranium; the development and testing of high explosives; and the re-engineering of the payload chamber of ballistic missiles to be able to accommodate a nuclear warhead.

In the report, for example, the IAEA reveals that Iran was working on “exploding bridgewire detonators” which are fast-acting detonators required to create a nuclear explosion.

“Given their possible application in a nuclear explosive device, and the fact that there are limited civilian and conventional military applications for such technology, Iran’s development of such detonators and equipment is a matter of concern,” the report said.

One member state provided the IAEA with information about a “large-scale” test Iran conducted in 2003 to initiate a high explosive charge in the form of a hemispherical shell whose dimensions are consistent with the dimensions of a potential nuclear payload that can be installed on a Shahab-3 ballistic missile.

Work on this project was assisted, according to the IAEA, by a foreign expert, apparently a reference to a Russian scientist who worked with Iran from 1996 to 2002. The scientist has been named in various media reports as Vyacheslav Danilenko.

Additional information in the report reveals that Iran has manufactured simulated nuclear explosive components using high density materials such as tungsten to determine if its theoretical design of an implosion device is correct.

These high-explosive tests are referred to as “hydrodynamic experiments” are conducted when fissile and nuclear components are replaced by surrogate materials.

The explosives chamber, the IAEA said, was constructed in a facility called Parchin in 2000.

The agency said that it obtained commercial satellite images of the facility which showed the chamber built around a large cylindrical object and that it was designed to contain the detonation of up to 70 kilograms of high explosives, which would be suitable for carrying out nuclear weapons experiments.

The IAEA also said that it obtained evidence from a member state that Iran was working to manufacture small capsules called “neutron initiators” which are placed in the center of the nuclear core and produce a burst of neutrons needed to create a fission chain reaction.

The location where the experiments were conducted was said to have been cleaned of contamination after the experiments had taken place. The IAEA said that Iran allegedly worked on validating this process through 2010.

Lastly, the IAEA said that Iran also appeared to have taken preparatory steps to conduct an underground nuclear weapons test. It said that it obtained a document in Farsi which relates directly to the logistics and safety arrangements that would be necessary for conducting a nuclear test.

United Nations Tries Once Again To Force Israel To Have Nukes Inspected

You know, there is no agency in the world more corrupt than the United Nations' IAEA (Internation Atomic Energy Agency) and once again, this band of islamic terrorists is putting the pressure on for Israel to have to sign one of its pacts and succumb to IAEA nuclear inspections - you know, the nuclear inspections that they DON'T do in Iran? You know, those nuclear inspections that they had no clue about doing in Syria?

From the article at Breitbart:

The United States warned Thursday that adopting another resolution on Israel's nuclear capabilities at next week's general meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency could "threaten" the Middle East peace process.
At a regular IAEA Board of Governors meeting, U.S. envoy Glyn Davies rebuffed calls by Arab nations for a vote on a resolution urging Israel to join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty during the General Conference starting next Monday. A similar resolution was adopted at the Vienna-based agency's annual meeting in September 2009.
Last year's resolution about Israel's nuclear capabilities called on the country to join the NPT and bring its nuclear facilities under IAEA inspections. It was the first time such a resolution had been adopted at an IAEA General Conference since 1991.

It's obvious that this resolution would be totally ignored by Israel but the fact that the damn Arabs keep trying with it is beyond the pale. They basically tell Israel - we want to document all of your nuclear weapons and facilities and then send that information on to the likes of the mullahs in Iran and the governments of Syria, Egypt and Saudi Arabia and in return, we'll continue our program of getting the muslim countries set up with nuclear weapons.

If the whole situation wasn't so damn ominous, it would be laughable.

IAEA resolution on Israel could 'threaten' Mideast peace process: U.S.+


U.S.+ (AP) - VIENNA, Sept. 16 (Kyodo)—The United States warned Thursday that adopting another resolution on Israel's nuclear capabilities at next week's general meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency could "threaten" the Middle East peace process.
At a regular IAEA Board of Governors meeting, U.S. envoy Glyn Davies rebuffed calls by Arab nations for a vote on a resolution urging Israel to join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty during the General Conference starting next Monday. A similar resolution was adopted at the Vienna-based agency's annual meeting in September 2009.

Adopting it "could send a very bad signal" to peace talks in the Middle East and "could threaten these talks," Davies told reporters.

"Our view of the proposed resolution on Israeli nuclear capability is that now is not the time, and the IAEA is not the place for this resolution," he said, adding that it would "negate and undercut" results achieved at an U.N. conference reviewing the NPT held in New York in May.

Last year's resolution about Israel's nuclear capabilities called on the country to join the NPT and bring its nuclear facilities under IAEA inspections. It was the first time such a resolution had been adopted at an IAEA General Conference since 1991.

Israel's nuclear capabilities remain of concern to many countries as it is not a party to the NPT and as the agency has only limited access to its nuclear facilities. Jerusalem is widely assumed to have a nuclear arsenal, which it has never confirmed or denied.

After Three Years of Covering Up For Iran's Nuclear Weapons Program, the United Nations Warns That Iran Is Working On Nuke Missiles

I don't know if I've met anyone that doesn't think the United Nations is a worthless, piece of shit body of asswipe, terrorist-appeasing criminals but if there are any holdouts in this world that actually think the U.N. has served a purpose, this revelation by the U.N. today should convince even those morons.

For years, the IAEA, the atomic watchdog of the United Nations, has spun lies to assist Iran in their nuclear weapons development - I must have blogged half a dozen times about the fact that former head of the IAEA, Mohamed ElBaradei, was working FOR the Iranians and purposely covering for their terror plans. And now that ElBaradei is gone from his post, the U.N. has decided to try and come clean.

Here's some of the article at Times Online:

The United Nations' nuclear watchdog has radically increased pressure on Iran by publicly describing concerns over atomic weapons for the first time.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said it feared that Tehran could be working on a "nuclear payload for a missile" in its bluntest report yet on Iran’s uranium enrichment programme.

Look at that. Even after all of the lies, after all of the coverup, these peons still can only must a "could" - perhaps after Iran actually fires a nuclear warhead into Tel Aviv, the U.N. will then say that Iran definitely has a "nuclear payload for a missile."

There can be no resolution of this until ElBaradei is behind bars along with everyone that worked with him at the IAEA.

And while on the subject, can anyone explain to me why, after even this spineless terror organization admits the truth, Barack Hussein Obama isn't ordering a squadron of bombers to Tehran? Anyone?

UN nuclear watchdog accuses Iran over nuclear weapons

The United Nations' nuclear watchdog has radically increased pressure on Iran by publicly describing concerns over atomic weapons for the first time.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said it feared that Tehran could be working on a "nuclear payload for a missile" in its bluntest report yet on Iran’s uranium enrichment programme.
The White House responded to the report by threatening “consequences” if Iran failed to co-operate with nuclear inspectors.
In the IAEA’s first report on Iran under its new director-general, Yukiya Amano, tougher language appeared to signal a sea-change in its attitude towards Tehran.

Mr Amano was expected to be more confrontational than his predecessor, Mohamed ElBaradei, who had refused to acknowledge worries about nuclear intentions in public before his retirement on December 1.
The report, published last night, said: “The information available to the agency is extensive ... broadly consistent and credible in terms of the technical detail, the time frame in which the activities were conducted and the people and organisations involved.
“Altogether this raises concerns about the possible existence in Iran of past or current undisclosed activities related to the development of a nuclear payload for a missile.”
The development comes little more than two months after The Times revealed that Iran was working on testing a key final component of a nuclear bomb.
While there was no direct new evidence of weapons production in the report, the IAEA said that scientists at the Natanz nuclear facility had already begun refining uranium to 20 per cent in a clear breach of UN obligations.
Last week Iran publicly announced a start to higher-scale enrichment, saying that it was frustrated at the collapse of an IAEA-backed plan for foreign governments to provide it with fuel rods for nuclear medicine made from high-enriched uranium.
The IAEA report complained that Iran had started the process already by feeding low-enriched uranium into centrifuges for refinement before inspectors could get to the facility.
“We have expressed our dissatisfaction,” said a senior official close to the IAEA. “It is of paramount importance to have this information in a timely way to make sure there are no undeclared activities or facilities in Iran.”
The report also said that Iran increased its low-enriched uranium stockpile by about 250kg to 2,060kg (4,540kg) since November — enough for one or two nuclear bombs if enriched to 90 per cent purity.
“The fact that they have increased the level of non-cooperation indicates to me that unless we can mount the international pressure to stop it, this program is heading more and more in the direction of seeking a weapons capability,” an IAEA official said.
The United States is already leading a push for the UN Security Council to impose a fourth round of sanctions on Iran because of suspicions it may be developing nuclear weapons. Russia has recently declared its support for the move, although it had previously been opposed to expanding sanctions.
“We always said that if Iran failed to live up to those international obligations, that there would be consequences,” Robert Gibbs, the White House spokesman, said.
Tehran responded to the report by claiming that its nuclear program was meant only to yield electricity or radioisotopes for agriculture or medicine.
Ali Asghar Soltanieh, Iran’s envoy to the IAEA, said: “The IAEA’s new report confirmed Iran’s peaceful nuclear activities and the country’s non-deviation towards military purposes.”

The Secret Deal Between The U.N. and Iran Exposed

From the article here at Times Online, it is revealed that the United Nations IAEA has been secretly negotiating with Iran to help get rid of western sanctions on Iran and also allow the Iranians to GROW their nuclear program...all in exchange for the IAEA being able to "monitor" the situation more closely. Yeah, you read that right. From the article:

United Nations and Iranian officials have been secretly negotiating a deal to persuade world powers to lift sanctions and allow Tehran to retain the bulk of its nuclear programme in return for co-operation with UN inspectors.
According to a draft document seen by The Times, the 13-point agreement was drawn up in September by Mohamed ElBaradei, the directorgeneral of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), in an effort to break the stalemate over Iran’s nuclear programme before he stands down at the end of this month.

So, let me see if I have this right. The United Nations, without the consent of members of the U.N. Security Council, has laid out an offer to appease the Iranians on nuclear weapons so that the IAEA, which basically is responsible for NOT noticing the Iranian development of nuclear technology, can now keep tabs on Iranian nuclear development activities? To put it more bluntly, the IAEA, which PURPOSELY overlooked the Iranians development of illegal nuclear technology, which DELIBERATELY covered up their lack of action, which COVERTLY assisted the Iranians in their nuclear ambitions is now willing to remove all penalties to the Iranians as long as they, the IAEA, can now try to do their jobs.

This would be like a pedophile school teacher, who was finally caught molesting your child at school, being made the child's mentor for the next school year.

It's bad enough for western nations to try and hold their line in trying to break Iran with sanctions over the Iranian nuclear crisis without the U.N. going behind their backs to sabotage the whole process and for this reason, western nations who make up the U.N. Security Council need to demand the removal of all members of the IAEA and demand their own investigative team. Immediately.

UN nuclear chief in secret talks with Iran over deal to end sanctions

United Nations and Iranian officials have been secretly negotiating a deal to persuade world powers to lift sanctions and allow Tehran to retain the bulk of its nuclear programme in return for co-operation with UN inspectors.
According to a draft document seen by The Times, the 13-point agreement was drawn up in September by Mohamed ElBaradei, the directorgeneral of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), in an effort to break the stalemate over Iran’s nuclear programme before he stands down at the end of this month.
The IAEA denied the existence of the document, which was leaked to The Times by one of the parties alarmed at the contents. Its disclosure was made as the agency warned that Iran could be hiding multiple secret nuclear sites.
Despite the assessment, diplomats believed that Mr ElBaradei was hoping to agree the outline of a deal with Tehran that he could present to the US, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany as a solution to the impasse.

It was thought that Mr ElBaradei was anxious to secure his legacy after infighting over his perceived weakness in dealing with Iran.
The plan would require the UN Security Council to revoke the three existing sanctions and five resolutions ordering Iran to halt its uranium enrichment — an unthinkable development at a time when the West is focused on how to impose more, not fewer, sanctions on Iran.
Russia and China, who have commercial ties with Iran and have been pressing for a compromise, may see merit in the plan, however.
Hopes of reaching a consensus rose in September with the discovery of a second uranium enrichment plant under construction near Qom, which inspectors were allowed to visit finally last month.
Mr ElBaradei’s draft agreement envisaged allowing Iran to maintain and even expand its uranium enrichment programme, albeit under closer IAEA scrutiny, as part of a globally managed nuclear fuel bank. “The sides are to set up an international consortium for uranium enrichment, both in Iran and outside Iran,” the document said.
Section ten of the document proposed that if Iran complied with the arrangements, the signatories would report positively to the UN Security Council, where Iran would be rewarded with the lifting of sanctions.
“At first, the sanctions prohibiting the movement of scientists and technicians are to be lifted immediately, as are the sanctions connected to the supply of spare parts for aircraft and other essential activities,” it said.
The disclosure coincides with leaks from the report by IAEA inspectors warning of the dangers of taking Iran at its word over its nuclear programme.
The report, to be discussed at Mr ElBaradei’s final board of governors meeting next week, warned that Iran may be concealing multiple nuclear plants.
Iran claims that the Qom site was a fallback to preserve its declared peaceful enrichment programme if the Natanz complex was bombed. Inspectors said that Tehran had failed to convince them of its use and had even lied when it was being built. Nuclear experts said that the size of the plant suggested a military use.
Tehran belatedly informed the IAEA of the existence of the plant in September, reportedly after realising that it had been discovered and was being monitored by Western intelligence agencies.
“The agency has indicated that its declaration of the new facility reduces the level of confidence in the absence of other nuclear facilities under construction and gives rise to questions about whether there were any other nuclear facilities not declared to the agency,” the report said.
Iran’s failure to inform the IAEA of its decision to build or authorise construction of a nuclear facility as soon as the decision was made was inconsistent with its transparency obligations to the UN watchdog, the report by the inspectors said. “Moreover, Iran’s delay in submitting such information to the agency does not contribute to the building of confidence.”
The report said that Tehran lied when it told the agency that construction began in 2007, when evidence showed that the project had started in 2002 before pausing in 2004 and resuming in 2006.
Inspectors found the Qom site in an advanced state of construction but without centrifuges or nuclear materials. They said that Iran had told the agency it would be started up in 2011.
Western diplomats and nuclear experts said that the planned capacity of the Qom site, 3,000 centrifuges, made little sense as a peaceful enrichment centre because it would be too small to fuel a nuclear power station. It could, however, yield fissile material for one or two atom bombs per year.

Reality Sets In On United Nations and Obama...Ahmadinejad Pwnd Them AGAIN

I told you all this was going to happen, remember? Yep...right here I told you.

From the report at Breitbart:

The mood is grim behind the scenes at the headquarters of the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency, with diplomats expressing dismay at Iran's response to a Western proposal to defuse the standoff over its nuclear program.
Publicly at least, world powers insist the deal is not dead, saying that Tehran may still swing around and accept an offer meant to hamper any ability to make a nuclear warhead while providing it with fuel for its research reactor.

But diplomats familiar with the issue—some from countries directly involved in drawing up the plan—say Tehran's reaction is so far off the mark that they are skeptical the initiative can be salvaged.
And if the deal dies, it could kill off even more significant outreach toward Iran.

So here we are again...Obama reaches out to Iran, they shit all over his shoes. I'm beginning to believe that our new President is a masochist.

Analysis: Iran enrichment deal up in air

VIENNA (AP) - The mood is grim behind the scenes at the headquarters of the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency, with diplomats expressing dismay at Iran's response to a Western proposal to defuse the standoff over its nuclear program.
Publicly at least, world powers insist the deal is not dead, saying that Tehran may still swing around and accept an offer meant to hamper any ability to make a nuclear warhead while providing it with fuel for its research reactor.

The International Atomic Energy Agency is describing Iran's reply Thursday to the plan as an "initial response." The U.S. State Department says it is still awaiting a "formal response from Iran."
And Iran's official IRNA news agency on Friday cited an unidentified official as saying that Iran's response Thursday was only its view on the deal—and not a definitive answer—as it prepares for a new round of talks.
But diplomats familiar with the issue—some from countries directly involved in drawing up the plan—say Tehran's reaction is so far off the mark that they are skeptical the initiative can be salvaged.
And if the deal dies, it could kill off even more significant outreach toward Iran.
An Oct. 1 meeting between Iran and five world powers, including Washington, was heralded as a tangible reflection of the new U.S. policy of talking with America's enemies. Senior U.S. and Iranian negotiators met one on one separately, and follow-up negotiations were tentatively agreed on—but only if the Islamic Republic signs on to the enrichment plan.
Now, instead of planning for new negotiations, talk has turned to a fourth set of U.N. Security Council sanctions to punish Tehran's nuclear defiance, with British officials saying Friday the council may consider additional penalties early next year. Asked about sanctions, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs replied: "The president's time is not unlimited."
The offer seems simple. With Iran needing fuel for its research reactor, Russia would take most of the Islamic Republic's low-enriched uranium and enrich it to the higher level needed to fuel the reactor. France would then turn this material into fuel rods for the Iranian facility.
A win-win deal—at least on the surface. Iran would get the fuel it needed for the reactor. And the world could breathe easier after Iran shipped out most of its low-enriched uranium because it would no longer have enough to turn into nuclear warhead material—at least not for the year or so that it would need to replenish its stockpile.
It is relatively simple to turn fuel-grade uranium into weapons-grade material—and the West fears that Tehran could decide to do just that. Iran says it is not interested in nuclear arms and wants only to create fuel for a planned network of reactors.
But any such network is decades away, meaning Iran has no immediate use for the enriched uranium it has accumulated. That makes its reluctance to ship it out in one shipment and then wait until it is returned in research reactor fuel form all the more vexing. For some, it increases suspicions that Tehran may indeed have other plans for the stockpile.
Details of Iran's response to the draft deal drawn up by IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei have not been made public. But diplomats familiar with its details say Thursday's Iranian counteroffers are meant to ensure that it gets to keep most of its enriched uranium.
Since its clandestine enrichment program was revealed seven years ago, Iran has amassed more than 3,300 pounds (1.500 kilograms) of low-enriched uranium at its cavernous underground facility at Natanz.
The ElBaradei plan would commit Iran to turn over more than 2,600 pounds (1,200 kilograms) of low-enriched uranium—more than the commonly accepted amount needed to produce weapons-grade material. If that happens, Iran would not be able to replenish its stockpile to levels that would again yield enough enriched uranium for further enrichment into weapons-grade material for about a year.
Instead, Tehran is demanding what diplomats accredited to the IAEA describe as the "slice and dice" or the "dribs and drabs" approach—shipping out a small amount, waiting until it comes back in the form of fuel rods and then exporting the next small batch. Other diplomats say Iran has also offered to enrich what it has to the level needed for the research reactor domestically under IAEA supervision.
But both of these approaches are rejected by the U.S. and their allies. The first would leave Tehran with enough material to turn into the fissile core of a nuclear warhead. The second would actually empower it to get part way there because the process of turning out weapons grade uranium becomes simpler with each higher stage of enrichment.
While suggesting that it was prepared to discuss the ElBaradei plan further, the IRNA report Friday said it would not ship out most of its uranium and then wait for a return shipment of fuel rods, describing that stance as a "red line" that would not be abandoned.
The wording left open whether Tehran was willing to send most of its enriched stockpile abroad if it immediately got fuel rods in return—it would have to wait for up to a year for the material it now possesses to be turned into such rods.
But—considering what diplomats say Iran demanded in Thursday's response—the IRNA dispatch is more likely reinforcing the demand that Tehran be allowed to ship out a small batch, wait for it to be turned into fuel rods, and then ship out the next amount.
One of the diplomats—who like others interviewed demanded anonymity because his information was confidential—said he had partial sympathy for Tehran's reluctance to give up its "crown jewels." Iran's enrichment program—and the stockpile of material it has amassed with it—are key pieces of leverage in any talks with the U.S.
Still, for the West, Iran's call for more talks is disheartening.
Less than a month ago, Western participants of the Oct. talks—the first negotiations between Iran and six world powers in more than a year—came out that meeting ebullient with what they thought was Iranian agreement in principle to the enrichment deal. But talks in Vienna last week dashed Western hopes that they would cement agreement.
Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt, whose country holds told the European Union's rotating presidency, expressed the frustration felt by the West.
"It's the same old tricks," he told the AP: "A back-and-forth for further talks."

A First Amendment Hero!

By Findalis of Monkey in the Middle

Professor Indrek Wichman

He looks mild-mannered, not a man who would stand up to bullies and force them to back down. But Professor Indrek Wichman of Michagan State University, has become a Hero.

Now what would force this Professor of Mechanical Engineering to stand up for the First Amendment? Nothing less than a planned protest by the MSU chapter of the Muslim Students Union (MSU)

Members of the Muslim Student Association (MSA) at Michigan State University (MSU) didn’t know what they were getting into when they tried to suppress the free speech rights of Professor Indrek Wichman. On February 28, 2006 he read in the MSU student newspaper a call to protest the publication of the Muhammad cartoons. The article struck a raw nerve. He responded with the following:

Dear Moslem Association:

As a professor of Mechanical Engineering here at MSU I intend to protest your protest. I am offended not by cartoons, but by more mundane things like beheadings of civilians, cowardly attacks on public buildings, suicide murders, murders of Catholic priests (the latest in Turkey!), burnings of Christian churches, the continued persecution of Coptic Christians in Egypt, the imposition of Sharia law on non-Muslims, the rapes of Scandinavian girls and women (called "whores" in your culture), the murder of film directors in Holland, and the rioting and looting in Paris France.

This is what offends me, a soft-spoken person and academic, and many, many, many of my colleagues. I counsel you dissatisfied, aggressive, brutal, and uncivilized slave-trading Moslems to be very aware of this as you proceed with your infantile "protests."

If you do not like the values of the West--see the 1st Amendment--you are free to leave. I hope for God's sake that most of you choose that option. Please return to your ancestral homelands and build them up yourselves instead of troubling Americans.

Cordially,

I. S. Wichman, Professor of Mechanical Engineering.

Some may say this reaction was a tad over-heated. But in a university environment, the more important question is: Were the statements accurate? It’s tough to argue with the validity of Professor Wichman’s factual assertions. And even tougher to demand that Wichman remain morally neutral regarding the examples of Muslim misconduct he cites.

For over three weeks Professor Wichman heard nothing about his email. But behind the scenes, the MSA had called in CAIR and had three separate meetings with the MSU provost. The MSA and CAIR both demanded that Wichman be censured, disciplined, enrolled in diversity and sensitivity training, and even “re-educated” on Islam.

To his credit, the MSU Provost did not cave in to the CAIR/MSA demands. On March 20, 2006 he wrote Wichman a letter saying that he strongly disagreed with the “intemperate tone” of his email. But he added that Wichman still had rights to free speech. From there, things got worse.

The MSU Provost told Wichman that if he continued to “harass” and “intimidate” the MSU MSA - while creating a “hostile intellectual climate” - then formal charges consistent with MSU anti-discrimination policy (ADP) would be filed by MSU against him. (emphasis mine)

On April 24, 2006 Wichman realized that the issue had not quietly gone away. He began receiving telephone calls and emails from local newspapers, AP, Reuters and other national and international outlets. CAIR and MSA, frustrated by the MSU Provost, had gone over his head and published a response, organized a press conference, and made a national/international press release.

CAIR and MSA’s public call upon MSU to take “disciplinary action" against Wichman’s “Islamophobic” email was a classic example of Muslim cowardice. Michigan’s CAIR Executive Director Mr. Dawud Walid said it was “unconscionable for a professor to use his university e-mail account to foster a hostile learning environment for Muslim students.” He added, “The University needs to take appropriate disciplinary action in this case to demonstrate through its actions that anti-Muslim bigotry will not be tolerated on campus.”

It should be noted that Mr. Walid has gone to court to argue for applying Sharia law in mid-Michigan. That serves to undercut significantly his stature as an opponent of bigotry towards minorities.

I sat down for a beer - I believe it was a Danish beer – with Indrek Wichman in April. When he said he meant to “protest the protest” of the MSA he really meant it. He helped form a conservative faculty group at MSU. The group serves to protest speech codes, invite conservative speakers to campus, and represent students and faculty whose rights are trampled by the MSU administration.

Indrek Wichman is not your typical college professor. He is a true First Amendment hero.

Meanwhile, Dawud Walid is still fighting to repeal the First Amendment and keep Muslims from being offended. He wants to replace it with Sharia law so Muslims can freely beat their wives and publicly execute homosexuals.

How is it that Muslims can say the most hurtful, racially insensitive, anti-Semitic rhetoric on US campuses without the administrations of those schools saying a word no, yet one lone professor on a campus writes an e-mail in protest of the barbaric practices of Islam, he is vilified and crucified? The behavior of the MSU in regards to Free Speech and other rights is well documented on the net. One just has to read Fousesquawk by blogger Gary Fouse to see what is happening at UC Irvine.

And it is happening at every college and university in the US.

What the MSU & CAIR are trying to do is first to stiffle free speech, then to impose Shar'ia Law on the US. Their counterparts have been very successful in doing this in Europe and Great Britain. But unlike those lost lands, the US has the Free exercise of Speech firmly written into the US Constitution. And there are plenty of court cases backing the right of Free Speech.

Slowly, on campuses, faculity are speaking out against the MSU. They are challenging their claims, and forcing the 1st Amendment down their throats.

I wonder what has taken them so long.

U.N.'s IAEA Exposed: Conclusion That Iran Could Make Nuclear Bomb and Plans To Weaponize It Leaked

Well, once again, the United Nations has been caught in a huge lie and coverup. The details of a report from the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) that had been kept under the lid of secrecy has been leaked and it proves that the U.N.'s atomic watchdog agency HAD determined that Iran was capable of developing a nuclear weapon AND that the Iranians WERE actively working towards weaponizing that technology. You may remember the song and dance the IAEA has been shoveling the world for years now how they didn't have proof of the Iranians doing just that.

From the article at Times Online:

Experts at the UN's nuclear watchdog believe that Tehran has the ability to make a nuclear bomb and worked on developing a missile system that can carry an atomic warhead, according to a leaked report.
The document, drafted by senior officials at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and seen by the Associated Press, is the clearest indication yet that those officials share Washington’s views on Iran’s weapon-making capabilities and missile technology — even if they have not made those views public.
The document, titled “Possible Military Dimension of Iran’s Nuclear Programme”, appeared to be the so-called IAEA “secret annex" on Iran’s alleged nuclear arms programme that the US, France, Israel and other IAEA members say is being withheld by the agency's chief Mohamed ElBaradei — claims that the nuclear watchdog denies.

I've said it here many times before, that the head of the IAEA, ElBaradei, is a terrorist sympathizer and that his ultimate goal is to position some islamic countries into a military position that negates Western superiority. The United Nations simply has put people in charge of the Iranian investigation that WANT Iran to have the bomb and they also want them to use the bomb.

This leak demonstrates the corruption in the U.N. once again and it is beyond me how the United States contingent to the U.N. has not called for the immediate firing of the IAEA personnel and a complete investigation of the Iranian inspections. Oh wait, sorry about that...I lost my head...I forgot who is leading America at the moment.

Iran has the ability to make nuclear bomb, says leaked UN report

Experts at the UN's nuclear watchdog believe that Tehran has the ability to make a nuclear bomb and worked on developing a missile system that can carry an atomic warhead, according to a leaked report.
The document, drafted by senior officials at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and seen by the Associated Press, is the clearest indication yet that those officials share Washington’s views on Iran’s weapon-making capabilities and missile technology — even if they have not made those views public.
The document, titled “Possible Military Dimension of Iran’s Nuclear Programme”, appeared to be the so-called IAEA “secret annex" on Iran’s alleged nuclear arms programme that the US, France, Israel and other IAEA members say is being withheld by the agency's chief Mohamed ElBaradei — claims that the nuclear watchdog denies.
It is a record of IAEA findings since the agency began investigating Iran’s nuclear programme in 2007 and has been continually updated.

The information in the document that is either new, more detailed or represents a more forthright conclusion than found in published IAEA reports includes:
The IAEA’s assessment that Iran worked on developing a chamber inside a ballistic missile capable of housing a warhead payload “that is quite likely to be nuclear”.
That Iran engaged in “probable testing" of explosives commonly used to detonate a nuclear warhead — a method known as a “full-scale hemispherical explosively driven shock system".
An assessment that Iran worked on developing a system “for initiating a hemispherical high explosive charge" of the kind used to help spark a nuclear blast.
In another key finding, an excerpt notes: “The agency ... assesses that Iran has sufficient information to be able to design and produce a workable implosion nuclear device [an atomic bomb] based on HEU [highly enriched uranium] as the fission fuel.”
Dr ElBaradei said in 2007 that there was no “concrete evidence" that Iran was engaged in atomic weapons work — a source of friction with the United States, which has sought a hardline stance on Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.
Responding to the Associated Press report, the agency did not deny the existence of a confidential record of its knowledge and assessment of Iran’s alleged attempts to make nuclear weapons. But an agency statement said that the IAEA “has no concrete proof that there is or has been a nuclear weapon programme in Iran”.
It cited Dr ElBaradei as telling the agency’s 35-nation governing board last week that “continuing allegations that the IAEA was withholding information on Iran are politically motivated and totally baseless”.

IAEA Head Tries To Buy Iran Another Year Of Nuke Building Time

Well, our favorite surrogate Iranian nuclear sympathizer at the U.N.'s IAEA, Mohamed ElBaradei, is back at it - back trying to buy Iran another year or so of unfettered time to finish their nuclear warhead systems, that is. We have watched the head of the IAEA, for two years now, refuse to admit that Iran had intentions of building nukes and now that all of the evidence steamrolled his coverup attempts, he is finally admitting that it could happen....but hey, this time he's playing the time card to try and make sure it happens. Here's some of the details from the article at Reuters:

Iran could gain the capability to make a nuclear weapon in 2-5 years but there is ample time to deal with the concern, the head of the United Nations' nuclear watchdog said in a televised interview.
Mohamed ElBaradei, director-general of the Vienna-based U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said that after stockpiling enriched uranium, Iran would face further technical and political hurdles should it seek to build nuclear arms.
"There is a concern, but don't hype the concern," ElBaradei, alluding mainly to U.S. and Israeli warnings, said in a CNN interview broadcast late Sunday. "There is ample time to engage (Iran) and reverse the concern and to move into more engagement rather than more isolation."

The fact of the matter is that ElBaradei has gone beyond being incompetent to being complicit with Iran's schemes and if I was Ambassador to the U.N. from America, I would be bringing forth a motion for his arrest under international law for his crimes.

I mean, this moron has the gall to lay out that there is "ample time" to halt Iran's progress?! My question is WHY? WHY would Iran all of a sudden decide to scrap these nuclear designs? Iran has weathered the financial sanctions the world has tried to impose on them. What else is there? Isolation? Hell, the Iranians thrive on isolation. Why would a country that is actively operating illegal terrorist organizations in Lebanon and Gaza be trusted to even want to sit down and discuss its nuclear ambitions.

Between the U.N. keeping this criminal in place at the IAEA and the folly of America's new President thinking he can sit down and reason with the Persians, the world better get used to the idea of Iranian nuclear weapons being used as blackmail in every international conflict for the rest of time.

Enough time to address Iran bomb concern: IAEA head

VIENNA (Reuters) - Iran could gain the capability to make a nuclear weapon in 2-5 years but there is ample time to deal with the concern, the head of the United Nations' nuclear watchdog said in a televised interview.
Mohamed ElBaradei, director-general of the Vienna-based U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said that after stockpiling enriched uranium, Iran would face further technical and political hurdles should it seek to build nuclear arms.
"There is a concern, but don't hype the concern," ElBaradei, alluding mainly to U.S. and Israeli warnings, said in a CNN interview broadcast late Sunday. "There is ample time to engage (Iran) and reverse the concern and to move into more engagement rather than more isolation."
ElBaradei said that for Iran to have weapons capacity, it would have to eject IAEA inspectors, leave the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), reconfigure production to refine uranium to the high degree needed for bomb fuel and fit the material into a warhead:
"Even if I go by the CIA and other U.S. intelligence, the estimations (are) that if even if they go through all these scenarios, we're still talking about two to five years from now."
Western powers believe Iran's declared program to refine uranium to the low level required for civilian nuclear energy is a front for gaining the means to reprocess it into highly enriched material for bombs at short notice.
Iran insists its nuclear ambitions are limited to the peaceful generation of electricity, and refuses to freeze a program that it says is its sovereign right under the NPT.
It is under IAEA investigation over alleged military dimensions to its nuclear work as well as U.N. sanctions imposed over past undeclared activity and a failure to prove its nuclear intentions are wholly peaceful.
The IAEA's last report on Iran in November said it planned to start installing another unit of 3,000 enrichment centrifuges in early 2009, adding to 3,800 machines already enriching uranium and another 2,200 being gradually introduced.
Some Western analysts believe Iran will have enriched enough uranium by later this year to make a bomb if it wishes. Iran says it will enrich uranium only to the low level needed for civilian power.
In an interview with the Washington Post, ElBaradei said Iran had seen that the ability to build an atom bomb in a short period would give it an insurance policy against attack.
"Obviously, they look for their own security, and they have seen that if you have nuclear weapons, or at least the technology, you are somehow protected from an attack," he told the Post's Sunday edition.
ElBaradei urged Iran anew to cooperate with the IAEA probe in order to build trust, but also blamed the impasse on the Bush administration, which declined to open a dialogue with Iran.

U.N. Atomic Watchdogs Investigate Syrian Nukes, Decide To Award Them $350,000 For New Nuke Plant

You know, if you didn't actually see this in type, you simply wouldn't believe it. The article is here at UPI but let me sum it up in a nutshell. While the dust hasn't even settled on the United Nations' investigation of the illegal nuclear weapons facility in Syria that was bombed by Israel, the SAME AGENCY, the IAEA, has recommended a $350,000 grant for Syria to build....wait for it....a nuclear energy plant! Good grief. Here's some of the lunacy:

The United States says a decision by the International Atomic Energy Agency to help Syria build a civilian nuclear power plant is "inappropriate."
IAEA head Mohammed ElBaradei says there's no legal reason to prevent Syria from receiving a $350,000 assistance package from the U.N. agency, making the comments after an investigation of a Syrian site bombed by Israel as a suspected nuclear reactor revealed traces of uranium, the Voice of America reported Tuesday.
"(The IAEA decision) is wholly inappropriate, we believe, given the fact that Syria is under investigation by the IAEA for building a nuclear reactor, outside the bounds of its international commitments," U.S. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack told VOA. "And for the IAEA to be involved in providing technical information concerning nuclear activities would seem to be contradictory, if not ironic."

This head of the IAEA, Mohammed ElBaradei, once investigated...we will find that this man's mission is to arm the muslim world with nuclear weapons. This is the asshat that has allowed Iran free reign to construct and perfect nuclear weapons. And now, he is saying there is no reason why the Syrians can't join the club.

It's my contention that ElBaradei is a terrorist. He has infiltrated the U.N. with a plan to arm the nations of Iran, Syria, Yemen and Saudi Arabia with nuclear weapons. The U.S. officials have to be at a breaking point at this place and time on this whole issue - and it has become apparent that the only way to stop ElBaradei's operations in the U.N. is to take out Iran's nuclear facilities immediately and warn the Syrians of the same fate. And I'm not talking about just an Israeli strike on Iran - I'm talking about a joint operation between Israel, the U.S. and Britain. The time is probably too late to be 100% effective but there simply is nothing left to do. With Iran armed with nukes and Syrians in preparatory stages, the IAEA will simply roll over for more and more islamist countries to join the party.

U.S. blasts IAEA's Syria funding move

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25 (UPI) -- The United States says a decision by the International Atomic Energy Agency to help Syria build a civilian nuclear power plant is "inappropriate."
IAEA head Mohammed ElBaradei says there's no legal reason to prevent Syria from receiving a $350,000 assistance package from the U.N. agency, making the comments after an investigation of a Syrian site bombed by Israel as a suspected nuclear reactor revealed traces of uranium, the Voice of America reported Tuesday.
"(The IAEA decision) is wholly inappropriate, we believe, given the fact that Syria is under investigation by the IAEA for building a nuclear reactor, outside the bounds of its international commitments," U.S. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack told VOA. "And for the IAEA to be involved in providing technical information concerning nuclear activities would seem to be contradictory, if not ironic."
Syria denies concealing nuclear activities but a IAEA report released last week said Syria had ignored requests for documentation on the building destroyed by the Israelis and wouldn't allow inspectors to visit three other sites believed linked to the alleged reactor, VOA reported.

U.N.'s Atomic Agency Director Continues To Cover For The Islamists

The piece of shit Director of the United Nations' IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency), Mohamed ElBaradei, can add another example of how he has covered up for islamists and jihadists across the globe as this time, he is covering up the evidence of a nuclear weapons plant in Syria. This is concerning the evidence inspected at the Syrian nuke plant that Israel destroyed and yes, this fool...this tool...ElBaradei doesn't cease to amaze yet again with his blatant co-conspirator status with the terrorists of the Arab and Persian world. Remember, this is the same doofus that more or less admitted that he had the wool pulled over his eyes by the Iranians.

Anyway, here's some of the details of what this "super sleuth" is saying about the Syrian site via the story at Reuters:

Uranium traces found at a Syrian site bombed by Israel were not sufficient evidence of undeclared nuclear activity but Syria must be more open to help clarify the issue, the head of the U.N. atomic watchdog said on Monday.
"We won't be able to reach a quick conclusion unless we have credible information," International Atomic Energy Agency Director Mohamed ElBaradei told a news conference in Dubai. "There was uranium but it does not mean there was a reactor."

What kind of bloody idiots does this moron think we are? Why is this chump still holding a director's role in this agency? Oh yeah, it's the U.N. Sorry, I lost my head there for a bit. The corruption of the United Nations is played out each and every day and this poster child for it has done more to showcase the U.N. as corrupt than anyone.

Remember, it is ElBaradei who is supposed to safeguard the lives of the people of the world from illegal Iranian nuclear weapons. Hell, this guy is looking at a report of uranium traces at the bottom of a bomb site and STILL won't admit that the Syrians were up to no good. What a shill.

ElBaradei says Syria uranium traces not conclusive

DUBAI (Reuters) - Uranium traces found at a Syrian site bombed by Israel were not sufficient evidence of undeclared nuclear activity but Syria must be more open to help clarify the issue, the head of the U.N. atomic watchdog said on Monday.
"We won't be able to reach a quick conclusion unless we have credible information," International Atomic Energy Agency Director Mohamed ElBaradei told a news conference in Dubai. "There was uranium but it does not mean there was a reactor."
The IAEA inquiry was spurred by U.S. intelligence that the site was a secret nuclear reactor Syria had almost completed when it was reduced to rubble by an Israeli air raid last year.
Syria has said the target was a disused military building.
ElBaradei said the uranium particles were not highly enriched -- the type used to fuel atomic bombs. "It could have come in so many different ways .... We are looking at so many different scenarios," he said.
Both Syria and Israel should do more to help the IAEA's investigation, he said. "We need cooperation from Syria; we need cooperation from Israel. I would still like more transparency from the Syrians," he added.
Diplomats monitoring the IAEA in Vienna told Reuters a week ago that particles of uranium had been retrieved from swipe samples taken by IAEA inspectors from the site in June.
They said the traces appeared to be of a processed form of uranium, possibly at the stage at which it would be loaded into a reactor for enrichment as fuel for civilian energy or for weapons. But the origin of the traces was unclear, they said.
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem last week dismissed the disclosures about uranium particles as politically motivated and said they could have been on munitions used by Israel to bomb the site in September last year.
Depleted uranium is a hardening agent in some munitions. But it is not normally used in air force ordnance and would not have been needed to destroy the Syrian target, analysts say.
ElBaradei confirmed the IAEA's first report on its six-month-old investigation into Syria's alleged covert atomic activity, to be issued later this week, would not be conclusive.
"The report will say that there is still a lot of work to do. (There will be) no conclusion on whether there was a reactor or not," said ElBaradei, who also has been investigating Iran's disputed nuclear enrichment program since 2003.

Syria Refuses IAEA Inspections Of 3 Suspected Nuke Sites

Well, imagine that ... the Syrians maybe have something to hide? If you recall, the U.S. has claimed that Syria has up to three more nuke sites BEYOND the facility that the Israelis took out in their daring air raid a few months ago. And now, when the U.S. offered up this carrot to the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency), the IAEA has made inquiry and the Syrians are balking. Here's the article from Breitbart and a snippet excerpted here:

Syria has told fellow Arab countries that it will not permit an International Atomic Energy Agency probe to extend beyond a site bombed by Israel, despite agency interest in three other suspect locations, diplomats told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
The agency's main focus during its planned June 22-24 visit to Syria is a building in the country's remote eastern desert that was destroyed by Israeli jets in September.

On Tuesday, a senior diplomat familiar with the planned IAEA trip to Syria told the AP that expectations were Syria would gradually warm to the idea of giving agency experts access to those three sites, as well as the bombed Al Kibar facility.
But two other diplomats briefed on the Syrian stance said outside a meeting of the IAEA's 35-nation board that a senior official from Damascus had ruled that out during a meeting with chief delegates of the 10 Arab nations accredited to the IAEA.

First off, doesn't this sound a little familiar? Arab nation refusing to allow U.N. / IAEA inspections? Hmmmm....seems I sense some dejavu here. Secondly, the Syrians were very quick to show off the site that got bombed ...after they've had 3 months to clean it up and destroy most of the incriminating stuff but now, when the agency wants to dig a little deeper, that is "off limits."

Of course, the U.N. and the IAEA outta be used to an Arab or Persian country telling them to fuck off by now - the fact the Syrians are even letting them in the country is surprise enough. But I have to ask the question: when the IAEA is there inspecting the bombed out nuke site, why don't they just go take a look at the other sites? I mean, what's the worst thing that could happen...the Syrians might shoot 'em? :smirk:

Diplomats: 3 suspect Syrian nuke sites off limits

VIENNA, Austria (AP) - Syria has told fellow Arab countries that it will not permit an International Atomic Energy Agency probe to extend beyond a site bombed by Israel, despite agency interest in three other suspect locations, diplomats told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
The agency's main focus during its planned June 22-24 visit to Syria is a building in the country's remote eastern desert that was destroyed by Israeli jets in September.
IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei announced Monday that Damascus has agreed to an agency check of U.S. assertions that target was a plutonium- producing reactor that was near completion, and thus at the stage where it could generate the fissile material for nuclear arms.
The U.N. agency is also interested in following up on information that Syria may have three other undeclared atomic facilities. Diplomats and a nuclear expert told the AP on Monday that at least one of the sites is believed to be meant to reprocess nuclear material into the fissile core of warheads.
One of the diplomats said the IAEA was following up on a U.S. intelligence-based tip but emphasized the IAEA had not seen the intelligence itself. The nuclear expert said two of the military sites were operational and one was under construction. He and the diplomats asked for anonymity because their information was confidential.
On Tuesday, a senior diplomat familiar with the planned IAEA trip to Syria told the AP that expectations were Syria would gradually warm to the idea of giving agency experts access to those three sites, as well as the bombed Al Kibar facility.
But two other diplomats briefed on the Syrian stance said outside a meeting of the IAEA's 35-nation board that a senior official from Damascus had ruled that out during a meeting with chief delegates of the 10 Arab nations accredited to the IAEA.
The diplomats said Syrian atomic energy chief Ibrahim Othman told the Arab delegates his country could not open secret military sites to outside perusal as long as Syria and Israel remained technically in a state of war.
After fighting three wars and clashing in Lebanon, Israel and Syria are bitter enemies whose last round of peace talks collapsed eight years ago. Both countries recently confirmed that they are holding peace talks through Turkish mediators.
The diplomats also said Othman expressed fear that too much openness on Syria's part would lead to years of relentless international perusal of the kind Iran's nuclear program is now undergoing, despite Tehran's assertions its aims are purely peaceful.
After-hours calls to the Syrian Mission to the IAEA in Vienna for comment went unanswered.

Syria Had/Has THREE Nuke Facilities, Not One

This is not good at all. The article on this is over at DEBKA and here's a portion of it:

According to the Washington Post, US officials have identified at least three suspected nuclear sites in Syria, two more than the Al Kibar reactor Israel bombed last year, and passed the information to the International Atomic Energy Agency. This confirms the Oct. 25, 2007, disclosure by DEBKAfile military sources that the Israeli raid of Sept. 6 had destroyed at least two nuclear sites in Syria.
Washington released its request to the IAEA now - both to point up its disapproval of the Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert’s peace talks with Damascus and to continue the pressure on Syrian president Bashar Assad. More such disclosures are therefore expected.
CIA Director Michael V. Hayden told the WP that the intelligence community’s insight into Syria’s nuclear ambitions had deepened since the Israeli raid. “Do not assume that Al Kibra exhausted our knowledge of Syrian efforts with regard to nuclear weapons.”

I don't think this is a bad play for the U.S. at this time. We certainly know that alerting the IAEA means nothing and absolutely zero will get done but what it does is set the stage for actions against Iran. The U.S. , in my view, is putting out there for the world to see how the Syrians had secretly deceived the World and had/has three nuclear facilities capable of producing nuclear weapons. And with that knowledge out there, it becomes a matter of just pointing to Iran and saying that they have done the same thing.

Let's face it, the Israelis leveled the one (or two) nuke facilities in Syria and the world had nothing to say - most of everyone was shocked to hell by it - that Assad had come that close. So, in my opinion, a U.S. or Coalition strike on Iran's facilities would garner NO outrage in the World other than from Iran and Syria. The time is now for the Iranian facility to be taken out. The proof is out there that the Syrians had just about completed it and Iran can't be far behind and in fact, a case could be made that Iran has another facility that the world doesn't even know about.

Washington asks nuclear watchdog to search for two more Syrian nuclear sites – report

According to the Washington Post, US officials have identified at least three suspected nuclear sites in Syria, two more than the Al Kibar reactor Israel bombed last year, and passed the information to the International Atomic Energy Agency. This confirms the Oct. 25, 2007, disclosure by DEBKAfile military sources that the Israeli raid of Sept. 6 had destroyed at least two nuclear sites in Syria.

Washington released its request to the IAEA now - both to point up its disapproval of the Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert’s peace talks with Damascus and to continue the pressure on Syrian president Bashar Assad. More such disclosures are therefore expected.
CIA Director Michael V. Hayden told the WP that the intelligence community’s insight into Syria’s nuclear ambitions had deepened since the Israeli raid. “Do not assume that Al Kibra exhausted our knowledge of Syrian efforts with regard to nuclear weapons.”

Our military sources add: The fact that Syria was building three interconnected nuclear sites, a North Korean reactor and facilities for supplying nuclear fuel rods and fuel processing for extracting plutonium, proves Damascus was close to completing a weaponization program fueled by plutonium rather than enriched uranium. Both American and Israeli sources reported that the reactor was only weeks or months away from being ready for production.
Our sources add that if Syria was that close, how much closer must Iran, the senior partner in the alliance, be to its goal of a homemade nuclear weapon?
Syria has not responded to any IAEA requests for a date to conduct inspections.
