POSITION PAPER - The current state of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Nuclear Program

Scroll to see replies

The Republic of India would urge the representative to Iran to allow the IAEA to commence a full inspection of Iranian nuclear facilities which, if, Iran has nothing to hide, it should allow.

Belarus has complete faith that its Iranian allies are not manufacturing nuclear weapons, but even if it were, it would support its ally on this course with its own right to self-determination regardless of international law.

The IAEA is grateful for India's support in the matter, and hopes that Iran will listen to the international community's calls for transparency.

The IAEA is dismayed at Belarus' cavalier attitude towards the potential development of nuclear weapons and blatant disregard for international law.

The Republic of India shares the IAEA's concerns, especially considering the future merging of Belarus with a nuclear superpower in the Russian Federation.

Belarus offers no further comment on the matter.

Upon the merger with the Russian Federation, Belarus will not have access to the Russian Federation's nuclear arsenal. However there may be bases situated within the new republic as there were in Soviet times all under Russian control.

This reassures the Republic of India, by some degree. We believe the Russian Federation can be trusted with nuclear weapons, but not the Republic of Belarus, we would request they remain in Kremlin hands.

The IAEA, in line with its stated mission to prevent proliferation of nuclear weapons, is pleased that the Russian Federation will continue to keep centralised control of its nuclear arsenal.

The Russian Federation has to question why it matters so much as Belarus will cease to be a country and under Russian control (with a degree of autonomy), as Belarus will be Russian they could in theory have access to our nuclear arsenal if we wished and as they shall be Russian there is nothing you can do to stop it happening if we so wished.

The IAEA believes it matters since, as stated by the representative for Russia in the discussion on Resolution 2012/20, the Belarusian Government will continue to exist. As per the IAEA's mandate to prevent proliferation of nuclear weapons, it would be concerning to the IAEA if the Belarusian Government were to be given free access to Russia's nuclear arsenal.

Whilst IAEA acknowledges that Russia, as a Nuclear Weapons State under the terms of the NPT, has a right to maintain its nuclear arsenal, it reminds Russia that the Russia Federation also has an obligation, under Article I of the NPT, not to transfer "nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices" and "not in any way to assist, encourage, or induce" a non-nuclear weapon state (NNWS) to acquire nuclear weapons.

The IAEA would be happy to continue this discussion in the relevant thread if Russia desires :smile:

The Holy See believes nuclear weapons to be immoral, and urges all nuclear nations to reduce their stockpiles of nuclear weapons. We hope that Iran is only developing nuclear power stations, and that these talks will lead to a more secure future.

Pakistan has no objections to Irans Nucelar program as they have said that their nuclear ambitions are only peaceful.

India considers this somewhat naive from Pakistan. Does Pakistan take whatever a nation says, at face value?

The Swiss Confederation is glad that Iran's nuclear programme is being scrutinised. We hope all of the parties benefit in this instance.

The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan disagrees with many of the stances here. We support Iran's right to a nuclear programme but we also hope that these talks are beneficial and that Iran's ambitions are peaceful.

Pakistan does not mind Iran having nuclear power for the right reasons.Pakistan itself was viewed with suspicions when we launched our first nuclear test so we understand the problems Iran faces.

The fact is Iran, as a state, has no objections in making its feelings heard and if they change their nuclear ambition then Pakistan will look at the situation.

Pakistan assess all situations before giving a statement,there is such a thing as making a desicion without needing acceptance from other countries, no?

The Islamic Republic of Iran suggests America and its cronies stay out of other nations affairs, as we have evidence of American and Israeli agents operating inside of our nation. Israeli agents have murdered our brave and courageous scientists, as the Islamic Republic of Iran would like to remind America.

The Islamic Republic of Iran would also like to thank, belatedly, America for its "gift" of a selection of UAV drones. It was much appreciated.

The US will only warn Iran so many times, and since their ignorance has cost them their popularity so will it cost them their sovereignty should they continue to aggrevate the issue and bully our ally nations; it must be made clear that if Iran attempts to create any hostility with Israel we shall intervene with all of our military might.

The Russian Federation will be making it clear once and for all that any infringement upon Iran's sovereignty shall be met with action from the Russian Federation. You cannot go barging into another country like you own the place like you have done with Afghanistan and Iraq, we shall not stand for it and we will intervene on Iran's behalf if you even attempt to infringe the sovereignty of Iran.

This war mongering by the United States of America must come to an end and we are fully prepared to bring it to an end! :fuhrer:

India calls for calm between the US and the Russian Federation regarding Iran. This is a diplomatic institution and the days of the Cold War are over, there is no need for a violent reaction that would be catastrophic to other nations.

Belarus will not support moves of the US to intervene militarily in Iran. If you do, you will only succeed in confirming your campaign to destabilise the Middle East.

Afghanistan and Iraq were justified on the grounds of removing a dictatorship government and restoring peace to the region as well as removing the threat of any WMD.

So you justify bringing our 'war mongering' to an end with war? We remind Russia of their military capabilities which are as of this date laxed and outclassed by not only the US but many of her allies. Russia has no justified reason for supporting Iran, especially when Russia has cancelled recent arms deals with Iran in response to their nuclear programme.

Iran must be stopped from acquiring nuclear weapons at all costs - a nation so volatile and irresponsible should not possess weapons of mass destruction, aside from the fact that they'd breach international laws and treaties if they did.

Australia urges restraint from all parties, but supports the United States and its other allies in demanding that Iran give the IAEA full access to its nuclear facilities.

Iceland is supportive of any movement towards cleaner energy production, but is extremely wary of strong indications of the development of a nuclear explosive device, and urges Iran to allow a full investigation by the IAEA and/or increase the transparency of their nuclear program.

The IAEA appreciates Iceland's support in this matter, and would like to reiterate that it is extremely supportive of any peaceful use of nuclear power, particularly for the production of clean energy.
