ShareThis May 3, 2010 5:14 p.m. EST Topics: politics, diplomacy, international relations, unrest, conflicts and war, weaponry, treaty, United States Tom Ramstack - AHN News Correspondent New York City, New York, United States (AHN) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Monday that policies of the United States and other Western countries encourage international nuclear weapons proliferation, prompting a walkout by U.S. and European delegates to a United Nations conference. He accused the United States of trying to protect its own nuclear weapons program while intimidating non-nuclear countries from starting their own. “Regrettably, the government of the United States has not only used nuclear weapons, but it also continues to threaten to use such weapons against other countries, including Iran,” Ahmadinejad said at the U.N.’s Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. Intimidation of other countries created by the U.S. nuclear stockpile encourages development of the weapons throughout the world, he said. He also said Iran’s nuclear program was designed for energy production and medical research, but not weapons. Despite his assurances about Iran’s innocent intentions, top United Nations’ leaders scolded Ahmadinejad for defying the 40-year-old international Nuclear Proliferation Treaty. “I call on Iran to comply fully with Security Council resolutions and fully cooperate fully with the International Atomic Energy Agency,” said U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon Ban as the conference opened. In a rare public rebuke of a head of state, Ban said Iran had an obligation “to clarify the doubts and concerns about its program.” He urged Iran to cooperate with the U.N. proposal to end its nuclear development in exchange for an agreement that the United States, Russia and China would supply it with purified uranium for its medical research reactor. Western nations have long suspected Iran is secretly enriching uranium for nuclear weapons. Unless Iran can ease international concerns about its uranium enrichment, the country faces a fourth round of U.N. economic sanctions. Details of the sanctions are being negotiated by the permanent members of the Security Council and Germany. They have set no date for announcing the sanctions and details are sketchy. However, Security Council delegates have hinted they involve an arms embargo as well as restrictions on finance, trade, shipping, energy and the Revolutionary Guards. Ahmadinejad spent much of his speech criticizing the United States as the “main suspect” in nuclear proliferation, which he said made it hated throughout the world. He mentioned the Israeli nuclear arsenal as another threat to world peace. Israel has an estimated 100 to 200 nuclear warheads. The exact number is unknown because the Israelis refuse to participate in the nonproliferation treaty. Iran and Arab countries often cite Israel’s lack of cooperation in the treaty as a reason for refusing to endorse international inspections of their nuclear facilities. India and Pakistan, which have developed nuclear weapons, also have not signed the nonproliferation treaty. North Korea withdrew from the nonproliferation treaty in 2003 as it tested nuclear devices. Yukiya Amano, the International Atomic Energy Agency’s director general, said Iran, North Korea and Syria were among the worst offenders for failing to allow international inspections of nuclear facilities. North Korea has refused to cooperate with U.N. inspectors since April 2009. Syria has refused to allow inspections since June 2008 of what was believed to be a nuclear facility obtained from North Korea but destroyed by the Israelis. Amano said Iran should “clarify activities with a possible military dimension” and allow inspections. The U.N.’s Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation is held every five years to encourage more countries to participate in the treaty, which so far includes 189 countries. The conference is scheduled to run through May 28.
