As reported here, the Iranian parliament has threatened to withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty if pressure by the US on Iran to stop nuclear enrichment doesn't stop.
Big deal. They have already decided to not follow the NPT anyway, including, and especially the Additional Protocol to the NPT, which allows countries to bar surprise inspections by the IAEA, which they have discontinued allowing since January.
"Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi insisted Sunday that there was nothing the international community could do to force Iran to suspend uranium enrichment, declaring that "intervention by the Security Council in this issue is completely illegal."
"Intervention by the U.N. Security Council would change the path of cooperation to confrontation. We recommend they do not do this," Asefi said."
What cooperation? The Iranian government has been involved in lies and obfuscation for decades regarding their nuclear ambitions, and they have already bragged about it, and continue to this day! If they want to avoid confrontation, they need to come clean on this issue, stop the confrontational rhetoric, and stop enriching uranium.
But it's obvious that they won't stop the confrontational rhetoric, or the lies, or the enriching of uranium, as they want nuclear weapons, and a confrontation with the West so they can use those weapons, to show how big and tough they are. Well, I have news for the lunatic "in charge" of Iran - you aren't the biggest dog in the yard.
I think it's beyond time that they be reminded of that.
