White House: Iran must prove it is not developing nukes

well if you want to talk about repression and misstreatment of people look no further than Israel on the treatment of Israeli arab and Palestinian. 60 years of abuse.Nothing else to say...

I stopped listening to your rants quite a while ago

Your right that when you say that everyone has the right to "peaceful nuclear energy". However, when a country stands up and claims that it wants to wipe another country off the map, it is not considered Peaceful any longer. It cannot be trusted with its track record (even crime against its own people).

"Not being a member to the Non Proliferation Treaty. Israel is responsible for the arms race in the Middle East!" And soon if the USA does't stop her incessant nagging at Iran, Iran will quit the NPT. Who will Washington pick on next? It will all be the Washington Warmongers' fault for being so pushy.

"White House: Iran must prove it is not developing nukes " On the contrary, the White House must prove that they ARE developing nukes! Else, it is Saddam Hussein and his hypothetical nuclear arsenal all over again. Maybe Washington should recruit the world's best blame-game experts from our ME allied government to take over this dialog.

Even I don't buy that this post was put by Swiss (Dino). Although I know that Swiss(Dino) attacked Israel and USA senselessly using every opportunity weather related to the topic or not, he does it in a subtle way not like this. I find it a shame for someone to impersonate another person like this instead of trying to make an intellectual and truthful comment.

what this is is this, america wants iran to prove that they are in compliance, the reality which iran knows is this, spies will be sent to find out everyhting, so israel know what, where and how to bomb it, iran is not stupid to divulge the real enrichment area.

"We are not going to discuss anything related to our nuclear rights, but we can discuss about disarmament" [Iran] World-wide nuclear disarmament: A subject the USA government is most reluctant to discuss.

" ... I think the onus is on the Iranians to show the world, that the program ... is a peaceful program to create energy, rather than a secret program for nuclear weapons," said Gibbs Sorry, Gibbs. You are no lawyer. In this case you are the plaintif. It is up to you to prove that the site IS a nuclear weapons facility. Can you do that? You had better! Else you lose.

"We will demand that IAEA inspectors have unfettered access to the facility" - Gibbs Iran has already stated that the plant is open to inspection by the IAEA. You want something more, maybe?

the sanctions one applied on iran for 4 years and will take it for more one to get their goals the military one as the reports says will just delay it for 2 years that if iran haven't a hiden facilites with difference that israel will be target to get bombed without warning that time so what is the solution ???

One day we will stop paying for your wars, and military support. Without US, there could not be Israel today as you know it now. Only when we throw out our own dirty politicians who protect the special groups vs. the American interests.

With apologies to Chris Linthwaite. I meant to respond to # 30

I meant to send the response for # 31, and NOT 30. Apology for the mistake.

can you disprove of that claim?

The shia want to rule the world.in case you have not noticed it was the judaio/christians who killed over 12 million native people to gain control of the Americas,were does that sit in your thoughts.

The White House & Iran, Some think that by talking & hearing their own voices,over & over again,they have already accomplished what they should have had to do in pratical terms. That is less talk & more action. The chances are,that nothing will come out of the coming meeting between the USA & Iran. The Iranians are too sly,wily,& cunning for Obama. You'd need someone with the same kind of characterstics to match them.But Western thought dismally lacks them. They are no match to the Oriental Mind !

Iran will skillfully make proposals which Russia, China find very very acceptable, which Europe finds reasonable, which US has no idea how to proceed and Israel fuming. And then Iran will turn the pressure up one more notch.

Last time I check , Isreal is part of this planet and they need to sign NTP treaty and respect internatinal laws and get rid of their NUKES. If Isreal continue treated different then Iran then it will not work. It seem like Obama admin and European just want to disaram Muslims and strighten Isreal with NUKES . NOT FAIR AT ALL,

Iran is not breaking a sweat - and moreover, is using every opportunity to demonstrate increased defiance, and buy more time.

Hahahahahahaa! Its is the most stupid post i have read today.....NPT Treaty is useles,and Iran can easily abandon it,with zero consequences. Iran has not any reason to permit foreign bizarre observer studyng its nuclear centrals,and of course,they don't have the need for it. NPT Treaty had some sense,5 years ago,but now the time has changed,and Iran ahs the enoguht military and nuclear military power to abandon NPT Treaty forever.

Posted at other talkback too. Just making sure that you read it! I`ve been noticing and reading your vile comments for a long time. Do you ever have anything sensible to talk about? Here are few of your notions: 1. Killing of kids, women and civilians by Israel is ?OK? since UK and US forces also kill civilians in Afganistan, Pakistan and Iraq. 2. All of Gaza is terrorists and it?s ok to eliminate everybody in gaza. 3. All Muslims are evil and seems like you think that Islam could be eliminated from the earth. 4. Everything Israel do is wonderful. 5. All of Jeruselem is Israel and has been for the last 3000 years. Well, I think I would just ask you 1 thing. Did you ever go to school? Doesn?t seem like because your opinions are so Crude and you seem pretty extreme for Haaretz.

I`m sure that #4 is a citizen here and it doesnt matter what ethnicity he is? Please dont try to emply Aperthied Israeli policies here in the US. A citizen here is a citizen irrespective to the ethinicity. By the way you look more like an recent immigrant. Check your spellings and English. Whats your mother tongue? Hebrew?

This is basic logic and it further illustrates the bad faith of the western powers - in logic, you are never asked to prove a negative - if they say that they ARE building a bomb it is up to the accuser to prove it not the accused to disprove it.

When did jews become such a powerful group in a land that was gotten by killing and theft.You must feel real privaladged to have your own state for jews only and enjoy the democracy on stolen land here.To think That you talk with a forked toungue and then spin the lies through a corrupt media.You think your fooling who,not Iran your not.Go ahead and push them,they wont go to the reserves like sheep,i am sure.I know we wouldnt of if we knew the judaio/christians plans.If we had the weapons to go against the cannon and gun.Iran knows your heart,they see what you have done here,come to the reserve and see.But this is too honest for you.Oh ya i for got you have 10 token indians visit every year,just they dont see Gaza.

The holocaust is a fact well recorded by Germans themselves, evidenced by the remains of the death camps, the rail lines etc. It was Naziism, Natial SOCIALISM caused WW two. The same Socialism that inspired Communism in Europe, China and elsewhere and is now threatening everything USA has developed in freedom. Your posting has again established the truth as to what an antisemetic, dingaling you personally are. May you come to see the light of truth as it really is. I will have to pray for you too.

It's just too much to think about, you Aussies should invade right away. Maybe Israel can spare some troops to help you. Or maybe your navies can blockade the Straights or just take over the oilfields. China should just love that.

It seems like you have time on your hands U.S. NEVER fought a war on Israel's behalf or contributed a single soldier in any of those wars Past experience is that those that proclaims themselves "TAXPER" aren't All wars are dirty, sounds like you've never been in one

Honey, get your ass to Israel, and help your beloved Israelis than barking from far. We all will be happier. Otherwise, shut up and just change your drink

that are telling what to do, he's not his own boss, he's an employee of the American's that elected him Basic problem is that Obama is off on tangents, unable to get his (our) priorities in order IAEA in Iran, fat lot of good they did, they didn't know about the new nuclear site or turned a blind eye Thursday he's off to Denmark, to campaign for Chicago as the site of the 2016 Olympics He's had the country in a turmoil with his plans for OBAMACARE, whis is opposed 56 to 41 by those surveyed (Rasmussen) Unemployment, despite his promise, that if he got the Stimulus, wouldn't exceed 8%, it's almost 10%, not counting those that have stopped looking for a job Of course Obama needs guidance, he's like a drunk with a checkbook, eager to draw on funds he doesn't have

The White House should stop acting like a cartoon on the Ayatollahs. It makes the latter laugh. All along they knew about the nuke program of the Fanatics and they were silent. Barking at the Fanatics to stop is like trying to reach the sun. The fact is the Fanatics are devoid of rationality. They are hellbent on their nukes. Bush tried to frighten them. But it was Bush who blinked and whose tail curled between his legs. They know Obama is a weakling and a toothless tiger. There is no point for the White House to bark when their tail is curling between their legs. An empty drum makes a lot of noise.

#16 siad marhabah ya ach: Your words speak VOLUMES of the people you speak for (moslum world). Just confirm if your imamms, caliphs and mullahs all feel the same way. Just curious? masalami

And don't fake my religion either. Israel is turning into a shame on the Jewish history.

As an American, and just as a suggestion, get a couple of english courses. You are the tip of the iceberg that why Americans do not have a healthcare system, and a corrupt Government in Washington.

Blow the iranian's back to the days of gilgamesh, by the way dont talk about it : JUST DO IT !!!

Israel's direct pressure give the West a problem, in that Israel has nukes and has not signed NPT. Iran will try and use this fact to it advanage in talks and with neutral counties it may work to a point and give China a reason to by past sanctions. Israel is at it best when is keeps quite and acts fast but in this case US troops in Iraq forced a delay. Bombing Iran now will only delay them 6months to 2yrs but destoying their reactor could limit the number of nukes they could make. The cost will be high either way and Iran has a good chance of destoying Israel's reactor which is why the US setup the X-band radar and defence system around it.

The npt is probably the only thing that is keeping the international world from attacking Iran at the moment.

Milad may not know where you live, but it's a pretty good bet the the Iranian Republican Guard security services know a lot more about anti-Ahmadinejad iranians than your fellow posters on Haaretz.

I'm sure that #4 is a citizen here and it doesnt matter what ethnicity he is? Please dont try to emply Aperthied Israeli policies here in the US.

I believe that the world is much more dangerous place because of Israel and the last 42 years of occupation, Everything power balance issue that is created in the ME is attributed to Israel's regional dominance. Talk about irresponsibility? your nation doesn't have any responsibility's because it has an ally of the US who will block any condemnation that comes towards it, your nation should be in the dictionary definition of "Rogue State". Goldstone's report is going to be sending you straight to the Hague tribunals my friend.

Not being a member to the Non Proliferation Treaty. Israel is responsible for the arms race in the Middle East!

Bushes decision to go into Iraq was personal it had nothing to do with Israel. If Israel thought it could talk the US into going to war with one of its enemies it would have chosen Iran. Iraq hadn't been a threat to anybody but Iraqis since the Gulf War ended. His ground & airforces were almost non existent, he had no scuds left. Saddam was one of the few arab leaders who didn't let terrorists operate in his country Bush allowed Israel to alienate Arafat until he died but he dud push for talks with Abbas they just didn't go very far under Sharon & Olmert tried but failed to close the deal. 3) Israel doesn't want the US to fight its wars just not hold Israel back from fighting its own wars 4) When Iran gets nukes the US is going to have to deal not only with Iran but at least 2 arab states will start developing nukes so we will have a nice big nuclear arms race for the US to solve Its also only a matter of time before Irans missiles can hit mainland USA & dont forget the nuke on top

Muslims don't hate us because of our freedoms, they hate us because we bomb there children and bulldoze their homes The best way to stop terrorism is to stop f*cking with other people's countries

really - you can't even write english and you're telling someone else to read! I can tell you have a bias for iran - why it's ok to take americans hostage? fund people to blow up soilders in lebanon? has israel ever done that to america? this tax pay knows israeli can bomb the heck out of iran and iran knows it too - DO YOU KNOW THAT??? this tax payer knows that you should leave america as you really only care about muslims and arabs -see i can tell you things that may not be true either and where does it get us write facts don't tell me what you think is the truth - dumas

whi says we aren't - I think we are more than ready to take on iran - forget about the ghostage taking or are oyu actually a middleeast/muslim that lives in detroit? don't speak for an entire country - this is more than israeli dirty little war this is about a country that is reacklessly starting provacation that could cause serious ramifications in the world or do you wish to 6 israel wipe off the map because some other couty dopesn't like them - with that thinking there wouldn't be many countries left in the world stop and think before oyu write

the president of America what he should or should not do. The fact is North Korea also left the IAEA and tested a nuclear weapon shortly after. No amount of sanctions have changed the path of North Korea. Iran can borrow a bomb detonate it in the full knowledge that it will be end game. With nobody doing anything militarily, not even Israel can gamble that Iran does not have nukes as to destroy Israel will only take one bomb. Or we can take a step back say to Iran look we are worried about your abitions, how can you ally our fears. Which is the likliest option as Russia and China have both said in recent days that sanctions have proved unhelpful in the past. We need Iran in the IAEA, Iran leaving will be an absolute disaster.

Well said. US taxpayers cannot continue to be an Israeli toy. For eight years one stupid used to do what ever Israel asked him to do and even the Iraqi invation. He is gone and no one is listening to war mongers, distructionist and murderers anymore.

To all my bedouin brothers we should have the imams and caliphs tell the truth for once. Explain how our shia brothers want to conqure the whole middle east and then the world. And while they are at it, have them call the supreme leader and please ask him to stop the nonsence MASALAMI

Dont be suprised that retired isreal and american scientist are helping iran develop nuclear technology. goverment pensions stand no chance to what can be made on the side line .dont belive me ask Khan in Paristaan

Haaretz will you ever print my comments!!!!! Well Joshua, as your name suggests I can figure that you have a bias towards Israel. Well it's understandable and I have no issue with that. So, I say just focus on figure when are you making Aliyah. Iranians does not hate America but its the reverse. Iran was OK when it was ruled by the Shah? Evere tried to understand what happened to the relationship and why. (Well.. I doubt you ever get time to read anything other than Torah). Go read some history for a change. I totally agree with US taxpayer. I don't want a cent of my tax money to go help the Zionists. If Israel want to go to a "REAL" war then I dont have any issue with it. It's just that they have to do it on their own. And I'm sure Israel does not have the balls to fight a real war! All they can do is bomb unarmed civilians and children!

hahaha... Ever heard of the saying.. "If wishes were horses, beggers would ride". You guys have simply lost it! Your sanity!

Obama has different priorities then you. He has to go to Denmark for the Olympics to be assigned to his (highly criminal) town of Chicago. He already soved all his issues financial crisis, infrastructures, schools, health plans, Guantamnamo and so on, by simple forgetting them. The Middle East is solved by selling Israel out, do not forget that: he needs money and oil, everything else does not count.

No so fast! Iran can't quit NPT! This is highway robbery. Iran got access to nuclear technology and know how because it signed the NPT. It can't go away with these. Israel didn't sign the NPT, and it doesn't have an official nuclear weapon till it was tested. Israel didn't cheat the international community, asking for NPT protection, while developing a nuclear device; Israel doesn't threaten the existence of any other country. By the way, does Iran know that by exiting the NPT it is loosing the nuclear umbrella protection, provided by the UNSC?

Don't they have about a 100 to two hundred warheads? When was the last time Iran invaded any country? How much territory has Iran annexed? When was the last time they killed civillians in another country, blow up their infastructure, drop cluster bombs and white phospersous in residential areas? Is Israel a part of the NPT? Is there a translation for :"Wiping Israel off the map?" Is that what their president really said or was he calling for a "regieme change" like the Israeli politcians have been braying for in regards to Iran day in and day out. Don't get mad at these questions, I'd say their pretty valid seeing as though Israel is so hot to drag the world into yet another conflict of their own making. and BTW Etrez Israel? Whats up with that?

You're a funny man Milad. If you actually look at my archived posts from a few years ago, what you said in your 1st paragraph to me was/is exactly what I've argued and have been attacked by many posters on this TB many times for it!! As for your comment on the green movement, you better shape up and join them othewise you'll suffocate when the Sea of Green passes you by. As for your 'tiny uptown minority' comment.....well sir, you don't know where I live, do you?

This is an untrue statement ,never has Israel threatened to wipe out Iran ,or any of its neighbours . Israel seeks peace but with secure borders so those whose aim it is to wipe Israel off the map of the earth as Iran has repeatedly declared cannot do so .Iran has an unrepresentative government ,Israel is a democracy . Iran kills the opposition openly in the streets of Iran ,Israel has which includes Arab parties a vocal opposition which every day speaks out openly against the Israeli government without fear of repression . We all wish Iran would learn from Israel.

Iran refuses this. Israel refuses that. Each side's refusal is the other side's point.

What planet are you on,Israel is the one who has attacked all it's surrounding countries. Iran has not attacked anyone.Israel IS the cause of all the trouble in the area, land grabbers, murderers, killers of women and children. You are afraid to lose your position of 'top dog' that's what the problem with Iran is.

The Ayatollahs know that the US is, for now, being led by an impotent President who has no concept of leadership, world realpolitik, or concern for the security - not of Israel - but of the US. BHO proved his point when he claimed there "was nothing the US can do" when the N Koreans were staging missile tests aimed at placing Hawaii in their sights! BHO proved the point when he surrendered The Czech Republic and Poland to the Russians and Iranians as Chamberlain surrendered them to the Soviets and Nazis! And he proves the point with his constant global apologetics for the US protecting itself against harm. Thankfully, he is destined to serve only one term and will usurp his idol Carter as the worst President in US history. So why refuse. BHO simply doesn't care or demand!

Masters of doublespeak words stalling tactics. How about when Israel lets iaea in to do inspections then Iran could follow suit. Fair play.

no big deal. we've seen it before. any country wanting to get nukes will lie, deceive, distort, mislead, drag out discussions so it can reach it's goal. the foot dragging and lack of resolve by the major powers shows their own guilt feelings: they refuse to press home the point when they themselves have nukes. what's fair for one is fair for another, including rogue states. are you ready for venezuela, cuba, and Syria?

I seem to recall the same game having been played by a country just to the south of Iran and how happy the population there was when their leader was overthrown. History has a habit of repeating itself because people do not learn from it. This time the US does not have to ship over planes, armour, etc from the US. Everything that they need is already in the area.

The surrender monkeys of the Obama regime are too busy trying to figure out how to abandon Karzai, the US puppet in Afganistan, to ever do anything but talk about Iran. In another year and a half, at the middle of his first term, Obama will have all but abandoned the region. Israel needs to look to the new regional power, Russia, with whom it has a real common interest in limiting the military power of the Iranian Empire. Israel needs to seriously consider granting diplomatic recognition to the russian backed government of Abkhazia and South Ossetia in order to gain russian support in the middle east.

I do not understand how inteligent people can be so one sided and ignorant in their views. The only country that has nuclear weapons is Israel and they are the ones that need to be held accountable. Because of this IRAN has every right and need to protect themselves and their people. It is time the world force Israel to adhere to international law. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbjgDERSuiI

The original NPT did not require the disclosure of any facility until it was ready to go into production. The Additional Protocols require cooperation with the IAEA from planning on. Iran is hewing to the NPT in disclosing the Qom facility well before it is in production. Iran is complying at Natanz. We know Natanz has produced no Highly Enriched Uranium. Iran is complying at Arak, we know that the heavy water reactor is not set up to produce Plutonium for bombs. So long as Iran is under 24/7 safeguards and inspections we KNOW what is going on. What we need most of all is for the USA and Israel to come forth with any information they have been withholding from the IAEA so that ALL facilities will be subject to inspections and safeguards. The other thing needed is to bring Iran into compliance with the Additional Protocols which would allow snap inspections of any suspect site anywhere in Iran.

Paul, it is very much in the world's interest to keep Iran in the NPT. We have 24/7 surviellance of Iran's declared facilities. There is constant control of nuclear materials. We KNOW - no guessing - that none of the material processed at Natanz has been enriched beyond the level necessary to fuel the VVER-1000 reactors being built at Bushehr. We will be able to KNOW what is being produced by the heavy water reactor at Arak when it becomes operational. We will be able to account for all of the heavy water produced. We will be able to ascertain WHAT the Qom facility is producing. I can see why someone who wishes an Israel-Iran war would be disturbed by KNOWING what is going on. But for the rest of the world it is ESSENTIAL to know what is going on. As long as Iran is within the NPT we have KNOWLEDGE not speculation. What is essential is to return Iran to the Additional Protocols which would make it possible for the IAEA to investigate the slightest hint or rumor.

All other matters have been put aside, he's concentrating on his trip to Denmark, trying to get the Olympic held in Illinois What a sense of priorities, oy vey!!!

Iran will have to adquire nukes,and abandon NPT Treaty,forever.

Just as Israel does, Iran will own discuss issues of importance to the international community on its own terms and in service of its own agenda. Those who say that Iran is hiding something are missing the point which is that Iran is playing Israel's game. The question is now if it can win at it.

The legalisms of Iran's compliance or non-compliance with the non-proliferation frameworks obscure, moving forward, the political question as to whether Iran wishes, at a day's end, to put together the various components of nuclear weaponization it has taken up, intermittently but in parallel, to complete the process begun by centrifuge purification through to weapons-grade purification, warhead design, and miniaturization--and obscure the military/political counter-steps that might be taken (though the current leadership in Washington, not entirely convincingly, has already taken military pre-emption off the table) by the United States, Europe, and lastly, Israel. Western diplomats love to shove everything into pseudo-moralistic postures over legalistic requirements under this or that framework of "international law" but it is certainly the right of Iran to withdraw from NPT and then we can stop all this idealistic cant and concentrate on who threatens whom and what to do about it.

The Iranians will give their nuclear knowledge to terrorists ,because they hate the USA ,wich symbolizes democtratic values ,freedom of religion ,acedemic freedom and a capitilistic society . The Iranians have a government that does not represent the people ,women are surpressed and opposition openly killed on the streets of Teheran . You are a fool Michigan ,for backing such a cruel reppressive fanatical regime . God bless America .

as Israel has every right to do what it needs for its national survival. One thing is clear...

Not who has strength but who is willing to use it?

in this matter and should shut up.

The Khatami-led reformists did go ahead with the freeze program as demanded by the West. Not to mention their FULL co operation in Afghanistan... What did Iran get in return? It was perceived as weakness on Iran's part and West went overboard with their threats and saber rattling. This is the only way to deal with a western led international community that only knows the language of force. I am sure that Persian kitty and her green crew would not agree with this method but thank god that they are the tiny uptown minority.

Good to see that Iran will once again stand firm in the face of the Western powers. Iran has every right to peaceful nuclear energy and has so far stuck to its NPT obligations. My advice to the Iranians is to wait and see how the talks go and if the West is still insisting that Iran give up its rights under the NPT, then Iran should withdraw from the NPT, this would put Iran on the same footing as Israel.

The masters of treachery are accusing Iran of playing the game they have always played and are still playing. It is just that Iran is not such a good player and gets easily caught. If I were Iran, I would not give up the right to enrich uranium, unless there is a broader discussion of nuclear weapons in the middle east and the rest of the world.

... I'd just call them up and tell them that Thursday's meeting has been canceled and that they've really screwed up.

It's clear that Iran can not be allowed to have a standing army even. This will take world pressure and armies to make sure this occurs. Iran has no rights as a nation as they have forfeit them through crimes against humanity and irresponsible behavior.

What a joke? This is called Iranian bravo and chess game and westerners are simply child in front of Iranian chess grand masters. Weldone Iran, go ahead, the world will accept your power, nukes and simply bear with your standard. We, US taxpayers are not in a mood to fight israel's dirty war anymore.

One to say his religion is peaceful while religiously exporting instruments of death to Hezbollah, Hamas, and terror lovers worldwide; one to say it's logical to spend billions extra to bury his electical-generating program deep underground with 20 meter+ thick reinforced concrete and install sophisticated Russian rockets to keep stray Iranian hikers from getting electrocuted; one to research the Holocaust from a physical and spiritual distance and then tell a Germany paying reparations and a world missing about six million Jews that they're imagining things; one to grab control of the army, judicial system, intelligence services, police forces, and resources for the country's good and then command Basiji thugs and Revolutionary Guards to enforce this ideal-for-some, hijacked status quo; one to encourage his millions of citizens to go out en masse and vote when just he alone decides the actual outcome with his tainted ballot. It takes many such officials to tell a truth-from-hell.

Obama said,I want"immediate unfettered access" to the new site.Iran answer is,"in the near future",that is "Immediate".The time is used to "launder"the site from any incriminating evidence,staging the site for inspections.That is"unfettered". "It is against our religion to produce,use,hold or have nuclear weapons or arsenal."I didn't know that the Qur'an mentioned nuclear,what a foresight.What about Pakistan?are they "blasphemous"?or is it only "blasphemy"in the shia's religion?.Did the prophet also wrote something about biological weapons?chemicals?.

Low enriched uranium suitable for nuclear power is between 5% and 20%. Highly Enriched Uranium is over 95%. It is also called "weapons grade" uranium. Iran can accumulate vast quantities of low enriched uranium, give the three months notice required to leave the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and then they can build one nuclear weapon every three months and there is nothing anyone can do in the legal sense. If nuclear energy is all they want, then they should not be so insane as to threaten Israel on such a regular basis. Also, Iranian support for the Shia rebels in South Yemen will encourage Saudi Arabia to allow Israel to use it's airspace for the attack. As Moshe Yallon said to me 3 years ago, "...confrontation with Iran is unavoidable".
