TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called on the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to issue a report on the atomic arsenals and warheads of the US instead of releasing unreal reports on the civilian nuclear programs of independent countries like Iran.
"If the Agency is after the truth, why has it not released any report on the US atomic bombs concealed in one thousand of its military bases," Ahmadinejad asked on Tuesday.
He underlined that the IAEA is a tool in the hands of a number of certain countries to control the world, and added, "Unfortunately today they have empowered a person in the IAEA that has no authority and violates the Agency's rules by repeating the words of the US."
His remarks alluded to IAEA Director-General Yukiya Amano's upcoming report on Iran's nuclear activities which is due to be released to the IAEA member states in the next few hours, but whose contents have already been leaked to the western media.
Many nuclear experts, diplomats and political pundits even in the West believe that the report has been dictated by the US to the IAEA chief.
The western diplomats and sources had informed around a month ago that this report would contain some documents which have been presented to the IAEA by certain western countries and would show that Iran is pursuing a military drive in its nuclear program
1- None of the documents presented in the November 2011 report is new and all of them are related to the contents of a laptop computer which the US-led West alleges to have been stolen from Iran and was brought up first in 2004. In fact the release of these documents show that Amano - despite his claims - has no up-to-date information or data about the alleged studies and his information is what was presented in 2004. This proves that all IAEA allegations and claims in its recent reports that it has information to prove Iran has been pursuing a military nuclear drive after 2004 have all been nothing but a lie.
2- Neither Iran nor the IAEA has ever witnessed these documents. Since 2007, both Iran and the IAEA have been demanding that the original version of these so-called documents be presented to an independent team to go under veracity checks, but Americans have always refrained from doing so. This lack of cooperation annoyed the former IAEA Chief, Mohamed ElBaradei, so deeply that he repeatedly accused Americans of non-compliance with the IAEA safeguard tasks and undertakings. More importantly, Americans apparently have only one electronic file and do not have any original document. In fact, there is no original document in the case of the alleged studies. Iran proved to the IAEA in a 117-page assessment in 2008 that these so-called documents are fake, but Amano makes no reference to Iran's assessment in his report.
3- Basically speaking, neither the IAEA nor any other side is able to prove that these documents are related to Iran, even if we assume they are authentic. In other words, sowing and compiling a series of texts and documents in the Persian language and forging a number of seals and signatures and headings can never prove that these documents really belong to the state bodies in Iran.
4- There is no document to prove that what the IAEA calls alleged studies pertain to the use of nuclear materials and the abovementioned documents are silent in this regard as well. Thus, in case we assume these documents as authentic, they can pertain to conventional military activities and the claim that they are related to military nuclear activities is wrong because it is not supported by any information or evidence.
5- Once again even if we consider these documents to be authentic, all what they show is a series of computer simulations, and not practice or activity. It is essentially due to the very same reason that the IAEA has called this project as "alleged studies". There is no proof in these documents to show that these studies have been put into practice.
Now Mr. Amano, who according to the documents released by the WikiLeaks has promised the Americans to check all its measures and appointments with them, has apparently been given the mission to release the forged information and materials of the CIA in the form of an IAEA report, while many experts believe that these documents have been forged very naively and their release would totally discredit the IAEA.
Experts say that parts of this report, including paragraphs 23 and 24 have been copy-pasted from the Untied States' 2008 National Intelligence Estimate (NIE).
Another ridiculous point pertains to paragraphs 47-53 of the coming IAEA report. In this part of the IAEA report which has actually been written by the US Ambassador to the IAEA Glyn Davies, Mr. Amano claims that Iran has carried out a number of hydrodynamic computer simulations for manufacturing nuclear weapons. It has also been mentioned in this part that the IAEA has a number of satellite images of a metal bunker used for nuclear weapons tests in Parchin facility.
These parts of Amano's report are the result of a job carried out by Ferederic Claude, an agent of the French Intelligence Service, who had earlier been in charge of satellite imaging at the IAEA and is now Amano's advisor. It is noteworthy that Claude, accompanied by IAEA Deputy Director General for Safeguards Olli Heinonen, brought these pictures to Tehran a few years ago and asked for a visit to Parchin facility. In response, Iran allowed the IAEA inspectors to visit any part of Parchin that they wanted and carry out sampling tests. The result of that visit revealed that first, what Mr. Claude called a metal bunker or container for building bombs was actually a metal toilet in Parchin, and second the samplings showed no nuclear activity in Parchin and that's why the IAEA closed the case with Parchin facility.
"Peoples of the world, I have reviewed your petition and I find the following to be righteous and true that a criminal banking and extortion empire was created in a land, formerly known as Palestine and now, illegally known as Israel

What a bunch of crap.
Everyone in the world knows that 1. We have nukes. 2. We still have them at the ready. 3. We will not be getting rid of every nuke in our arsenal even though we have, verifiably, reduced the size of the arsenal.
Lastly, it is IRAN'S government that is saying they're not building nukes, when, in fact, they are doing everything they can to put together the technology needed to build a nuke.
So The World Is Facing Truth On Iran?
The IAEA is wonderful while they say what Iran thinks is ok. But when the IAEA starts to tell the truth Iran gets pissed. Hmmmm.

Ahmadinejad is either a little guy with a lot of guts, or a little guy with a very big, unsubstantiated mouth.
Which ever it is, if he keeps it up, it's going to bring destruction to Iran some day.

What need does a country like Iran have to pursue nuclear energy? Sitting on oil and gas, but researching nuclear powerplants? Very credible.
