Iran hits out at 'dangerous' US

[DoYouEverWonder]

1 May 2006




Iran has strongly criticised the US at the United Nations, accusing Washington of threatening to launch a military strike against its nuclear facilities.

In a letter delivered to Secretary General Kofi Annan, Iran said the US was "openly" planning to attack Iran in breach of international law.

Officials from the five permanent members of the UN Security Council will discuss Iran in Paris on Tuesday.

Iran has resisted calls by the UN for it to suspend uranium enrichment.

The rhetoric between the US and Iran has become more heated following the UN nuclear watchdog's report on Friday which found Tehran had not complied with a UN demand to end uranium enrichment, says the BBC's Laura Trevelyan at the UN.

1. Bush is giving Iran every reason they need to rush to acquire nukes

& use them against America. That's the "Doctrine of Preemptive War":

2. Their "nuclear program" is well within the bounds ot the NPT.

Iran should be asking why Isreal's destabilizing and not so secret nuclear program has been encouraged by the US and is not the object of threatened destruction by us.

3. specifically mentions Hersh article

The letter referred specifically to a report in the New Yorker by journalist Seymour Hersh, which suggested US military planners were considering a "bunker-busting" nuclear strike. Mr Bush has refused to rule out military action, but has repeatedly insisted that the dispute should be resolved diplomatically.
