Rafsanjani Calls IAEA Board Resolution on Iran 'tyrannical
During Jumah Prayer on August 12, 2005, former Iranian President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, who led prayers at one Tehran mosque, dismissed the August 11, 2005 resolution of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors on Iran's "peaceful nuclear program" as 'very tyrannical,'" according to the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).
Mr. Rafsanjani was quoted as saying:
It's highly surprising and amazing some countries initially supported us and even superficially delayed the meeting for two days but then through agreement adopted what the three European states and the US wanted and nobody opposed.The president of the Expediency Discernment Council added: "We are now in the preliminary stage of enriching a substance which exists in our country to use the product for energy generation, medical, agricultural and other scientific purposes."
Question: Why is it ok for European nations, the United States and Israel to have nuclear weapons but not Muslim or non white nations?
Is it racism?
Is it an effort make certain Muslim and non-white nations cannot defend themselves during what appears to be an effort to re-colonize the non-Christian and non-white areas of the world? Just asking.
