Iranian Nuclear
Summit a 'Farcical Reaction' to America's
"The summit in the U.S. is considered
by many a turning point in the international effort to isolate Iran's ruling
theocracy. ... Observers note that all conference participants focused their
energies on the Iranian nuclear program - and all agreed on one thing: the Iranian
regime is terrorist in nature and threatens global security."

Many observers of the
situation in Iran were surprised that Iranian authorities decided to host their
own “international” summit in Tehran under the slogan “Nuclear Power for All, Nuclear
Weapons for None.”
The reason for the odd
surprise is that such a summit wasn't on the agenda of Iranian authorities,
despite the regime's false claim to have been preparing such a conference for
the past two years. Tehran's nuclear summit, coming immediately after the
Nuclear Security Summit in Washington that saw the participation of 47 states, shows
that the summit in Iran was just a reaction to Washington's. The summit in the
U.S. is considered by many a turning point in the international effort to
isolate Iran's ruling theocracy. It is widely understood that "through its
absence, Iran was present" at Washington’s nuclear summit.”
Let's take a look at the
farce that took place in Tehran. The Tehran newspaper Jomhury Irani said
that Iran's summit was attended by ten foreign ministers, six members of
parliaments and other ministers - without offering further details or
clarifications. But Agence France Presse broadcast a story revealing
that the conference was attended by foreign ministers from Lebanon, Iraq,
Syria, South Africa, the Sultanate of Oman, Turkmenistan and Swaziland, as well
as Russia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, all of which were represented by
foreign ministry officials.
Turning now to the Nuclear
Security Summit in Washington, the plan was for it to focus on global nuclear
security and the threat to that security posed by terrorist organizations. But once
the opening session began, it became clear that the main target of the summit
was the Iranian regime. Observers have noted that all conference participants
focused their energies on the Iranian nuclear program - and all agreed on one thing:
the Iranian regime is terrorist in nature and threatens global security. It was
the first time that the world highlighted the Iranian threat without hedging
and with such clarity - and the proof was the agreement of all participants and
that immense pressure must be maintained on the Iranian regime.
The Washington summit was a
major turning point in the Iranian nuclear issue. The regime that rules Iran
has hypocritically bitten the hand extended toward it, which offered a package
of incentives for helping it create a peaceful nuclear program. The reason Iran
continues this comedic drama is because of its ambition to obtain nuclear
weapons. This in turn prevents it from coming to an acceptable agreement with the
global community, which is now convinced that it is a state sponsor of
terrorism. All agree that Iran must, by all possible means, be prevented from obtaining
nuclear weapons, give the immediate threat it poses to the world and the
independence of neighboring countries. This is particularly true since the
mullahs in Tehran have an agenda and ambitions regarding its neighbors that are
now all too clear.

It is also notable that the number
of countries calling for a boycott and the imposition of isolation on the Iranian
regime, especially with regard to freezing the assets of the Revolutionary
Guard, has been rising by the day. Meanwhile, the number of countries that used
to vote in favor of Iran is dwindling. For instance, we noticed how Malaysian Prime
Minister Najib Tun Razak, who previously described the Iranian regime as a good
trading partner, announced that Malaysia would now refrain from selling Iran
gasoline.
Washington's summit dealt a
huge blow to the Iranian regime, particularly because of its tremendous
dependence on Russia and China. But things have begun to take an even more
complicated turn, as Russia has suddenly and dramatically decided not to
deliver its "S-300"
missile system to Iran, claiming that it discovered a technical glitch in
the system. Meanwhile, Iran's official press claims that at the very same time,
Moscow is delivering 15 shipments of these very same missiles to China!
We must point out the main
reason for this new international consensus against the Iranian regime: a
widely-shared sense that this is a distinctly terrorist regime that is a threat
to global security.
The main reasons for this
change go back to the rapidly mounting protests against Iran's rulers. This
popular uprising against the Iranian regime is very significant.

It is an undeniable fact that
what's happening to the Iranian regime is due to the revolt of the Iranian
people and its many martyrs on their very long road. Rather than safeguarding
its people, the regime has arrested hundreds simply for coming onto contact
with supporters of the Mojahedin-e
Khalq-e Iran [People's Mujahedin of Iran], trying them on charges of “being
against Allah and his Prophet.” Furthermore, they have been repeatedly tortured
in a variety of ways with no respect for morality or religion. All of this shows
that the collapse of this regime is inevitable.
