‘Stop madness on Iran nuclear program’

A recent article on an American website has urged restraint on the wave of ‘unsubstantiated’ allegations in the United States regarding Iran’s nuclear program.

The article, titled “Stop the Madness” and published on the website of the American Foreign Policy magazine, censured Washington’s allegations that Iran’s nuclear activities have a military dimension, adding that such claims are “based on unsubstantiated assumptions” and merely serve “to provide ammunition for hawks in Washington that would rush the United States into another destructive war in the Middle East.”

The article pointed to the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) explicit assertion that Iran’s nuclear material “remains under the Agency’s containment and surveillance” and that the Agency considers Iran’s 20-percent enriched uranium to be to be low-enriched uranium and, in fact, “a fully adequate isotopic barrier” to weaponization.

The article further pointed to the fact that multiple experts and official reports on Iran have found no evidence that affirm diversion of nuclear materials to a weapons program, adding that, “Even US officials have conceded that they have no proof” of a military diversion in Iran’s nuclear program.

The US and its allies have used the allegations against Iran’s nuclear program as a pretext to sway the UN Security Council to impose four rounds of sanctions against the country.

As a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the IAEA, Tehran insists it is entitled to utilize nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.

Meanwhile, the IAEA has conducted numerous inspections of Iranian nuclear facilities but has never found any evidence indicating that Iran’s civilian nuclear program has been geared up for nuclear weapons production.
