UN Unable to Verify Iran's Uranium, 'Concerned' Nation Expresses Concern
ABC News breathlessly reports the IAEA can't verify Iran's uranium stockpile, suggesting an ominous buildup of 'near-weapons grade' material. This narrative, a familiar tune from certain think tanks and 'experts,' ignores decades of US intelligence consistently stating Iran has no active nuclear weapons program . One might wonder why, after the US unilaterally abandoned the JCPOA in 2018—a deal
that did contain Iran’s program—we're suddenly playing the victim of non-compliance. The media-military-industrial complex, ever keen on new enemies, regularly amplifies these 'concerns' while neatly sidestepping the inconvenient reality of who in the region actually possesses undeclared nuclear arsenals, and the extensive lobbying efforts behind pushing for confrontation. Perhaps the UN watchdog
should first 'verify' the nuclear capabilities of nations that refuse inspection, rather than focus solely on those under constant surveillance.
