"The hypocrisy of the ‘international community’ – i.e. the United States and its allies – regarding the NPT and, especially, Iran’s nuclear programme must be denounced.
There is no such political initiative on the nuclear weapons programmes of some EU members or the United States – or even the nuclear programmes of Israel, Pakistan or India, countries that have not signed the NPT but do have nuclear weapons – the United States already having stated that it could use them offensively.
Therefore, what is needed is full compliance with the NPT and the elimination of all nuclear weapons.
The real issue regarding Iran is that the United States and the EU both know that peak oil production has already ended in many countries.
The reason for the serious threats of military aggression, provocations and so much haste regarding Iran’s nuclear programme, is that the country has the world’s best reserves of hydrocarbons, and the United States and the EU are trying to create the conditions, even by manipulating public opinion, to control its energy resources and the whole Middle East, as we are seeing in Iraq."@en1
