World | China | Russia Iran said 60 countries were represented, including "seven or eight" foreign ministers and the deputy foreign ministers of China and Russia -- the two major powers the West is pushing to accept new sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program. U.S. President Barack Obama spoke to the leaders of both countries at his Washington summit on Monday and Tuesday where Iran's nuclear program was not on the official agenda but dominated talks on the sidelines. With new sanctions looking ever more likely, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad used his address to the conference to hit back at the "bullies" who were trying to prevent Iran gaining the nuclear knowhow it says is for purely peaceful purposes. "Unfortunately, the American government has both used nuclear weapons and has also officially threatened to use nuclear weapons," Ahmadinejad told delegates gathered at the conference center of the state broadcaster IRIB. "When those who possess nuclear weapons and use those weapons have the unequal veto right in the highest body responsible for international security, does this not mean encouraging others to proliferate nuclear weapons in order to provide their national security?" he asked. The foreign ministers of Iraq, Lebanon and Syria supported Iran's nuclear work, calling for Israel to be stripped off its nuclear arsenal. Israel is believed to have the Middle East's only nuclear arsenal. Iran refuses to recognize Israel. "Israel should let U.N. inspectors to visit its nuclear facilities," Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshiyar Zebari told the conference, state TV reported. A U.S. sanctions draft proposes new curbs on Iranian banking, a full arms embargo, tougher measures against Iranian shipping, moves against members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and firms they control, and a ban on new investments in Iran's energy sector. "BULLYING" While Washington hopes the U.N. Security Council will approve the sanctions in the coming weeks, Ahmadinejad has said he will not beg to avoid them and that they did not pose a huge risk to the economy of the world's fifth largest oil exporter. "The Security Council has openly turned into a tool for the implementation of the policies of a few bullying governments," Ahmadinejad told the conference. He called for changes to its structure and to that of the U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) which had become "a political lever" to use against non-nuclear countries. The IAEA said in February Iran might be working on a nuclear weapon. Ahmadinejad said a new U.N. body should oversee global disarmament and that states that possess or threaten to use nuclear weapons should be suspended from the IAEA. While Iran remains defiant in the face of new sanctions -- saying its nuclear program is "irreversible" -- Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast it said it remained open to a deal with the West. Mehmanparast restated that Iran was prepared to swap its low-level enriched uranium for higher-grade fuel enriched abroad, a move which would help address fears about Iran's enrichment activities, but this must happen on Iranian soil. "We want to exchange 3.5 percent enriched uranium, 1 tonne, for 100 kg (220 lb) of 20 percent enriched nuclear fuel inside Iran under the supervision of the IAEA and we are ready for interaction," Mehmanparast told Reuters on the sidelines of the conference. Iran would continue cooperation with the IAEA even if a new round of sanctions were imposed, its envoy to the Vienna-based body said. "We continued our cooperation with the IAEA in the past despite three imposed (U.N.) resolutions. This is our clear policy, even in that case (of new sanctions) we will continue our cooperation," Ali Asghar Soltanieh told Reuters.

Only China is allowed to complain about bullies Storyburncom_is Report As Abusive Apr 17, 2010 10:39am EDT I have no love for right wing, religious regimes, whether in Iran, Israel or the United States, but, I have to say that I have gained respect for Iran and the Iranian leadership for their determined and principled resistance to hypocritical, two-faced double standards from the U.S. and the “West.” Remember, Saddam was supposedly lying about WMD too, but, it turned out that he was telling the truth and it was the Americans and British who were lying. Is it just possible that the Iranians are really telling the truth about their intentions? Just sayin’. Now, if the Iranian regime would only be as principled in their behavior to their own people, then the international community could actually embrace them, but, for now, I think the hypocrites should just “get off their back.” Lavrentii Report As Abusive Apr 17, 2010 10:46am EDT i love iran,persian and ahmainejad tidy Report As Abusive Apr 17, 2010 11:22am EDT Let’s face the facts: Iran today is really run by a council of bearded mullahs still thinking in the 7th Century. They see everything thru the prism of their religion. While there are a lot of people in the country who don’t share their views, they call all the shots. Any argument that they are somehow being bullied blindly ignores this point. Therefore, they are far more dangerous potentially with nuclear weapons than anyone else. This is the reason China and Russia must concur with the West and insure the regime doesn’t develop them. apollo1981 Report As Abusive Apr 17, 2010 11:36am EDT Well Mr Ahmadinejad and his backers are at it again. Practising their well honed craft of deception and deliberate lies. They know what bullying is because they are doing it everyday to millions of ordinary Iranians, men and women, children and old people. While it is undoubtedly true that the US is pursuing an agenda that is intent on maintaining a Middle East that will never be able to unite to form a solid power bloc, Iran has been equally intent on making sure that the Sunni Arabs will not be able to unite to pose a credible threat to Iran’s own hegemonic aspirations. It amazes me that the Arabs are seemingly happy to kill each other (as in Iraq) or letting themselves be killed as in Lebanon and Palestine on the direct instigation of Iran who will always look down on the Arabs. The Iranian nuclear programme (whether peaceful or militarised) is but just another toy that the Persians want to wave in the face of the Arabs. MeCynic Report As Abusive Apr 17, 2010 11:44am EDT Isn’t Iran calling for Isreal to be “wiped off the map” also playing the part of a bully????? DOUBLE STANDARD!!!
