IAEA warns of North Korea scenario in Middle East if Iran's nuclear diplomacy fails
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] UN atomic watchdog chief Rafael Grossi warned on Saturday that should nuclear diplomacy fail with Iran, the Middle East may find itself facing a scenario similar to that of North Korea...hereditary Communist monarchy distinguished by its truculence and periodic acts of violence. Distinguishing features include Songun (Army First) policy, which involves feeding the army before anyone but the Dear Leadership, and Juche, which is Kim Jong Il's personal interpretation of Marxism-Leninism, which he told everybody was brilliant. In 1950 the industrialized North invaded agrarian South Korea. Twenty-one countries of the United Nations eventually contributed to the UN force opposing the invasion, with the United States providing around 90% of the military personnel. Seventy years later the economic results are in and it doesn't look good for Juche... ineffective International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) agents were kicked out of North Korea in 2009 and now the country is believed to have dozens of nuclear weapons. IAEA Director General said in an interview with NBC News: "The case of [North Korea] should remind us of what may happen if diplomatic efforts go wrong." "It’s a clear example, it’s an indication, it’s a beacon. If diplomacy fails, you may be confronted with a situation that would have enormous political impact in the Middle East and beyond," Grossi added. The IAEA’s monitoring program in Iran  ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneouslytaking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militiasto extend the regime's influence. The word Iranis a cognate form of Aryan.The abbreviation IRGCis the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA).The term Supreme Guideis a the modern version form of either Duceor Führeror maybe both. They hate is "no longer intact" after Tehran refused to repair cameras at nuclear facilities, Grossi said, adding that the UN watchdog might be unable to "reconstruct the picture" of what the Iranians are doing. Iran said in September it refused to give the IAEA access to surveillance cameras at Iranian nuclear facilities. Grossi also stressed that he has been unable to establish direct communication with the Iranian government since Ebrahim Raisi became president in June. Experts believe Raisi has been stacking the deck by appointing hardliner government officials to pressure the US into making concessions that favor Tehran in the talks over reviving the abandoned 2015 Iran nuclear deal. Talks to revive the nuclear accord which former US President Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... withdrew from in 2018 have stalled under Raisi and Washington has repeatedly expressed that its patience was wearing thin and threatened an ambiguous "Plan B" should diplomacy fail.
