Iran rejects nuclear inspection unless Israel allows them
Monday, 05 May 2008 17:04

GENEVA - An Iranian envoy said Monday his government will not submit to 
extensive nuclear inspections while Israel stays outside the global 
treaty to curb the spread of atomic weapons.

"The existing double standard shall not be tolerated anymore by 
non-nuclear-weapon states," Ambassador Ali Asghar Soltanieh told a 
meeting of the 190 countries that have signed the Nuclear 
Nonproliferation Treaty.

Nuclear safeguards are far from universal, he said, adding that more 
than 30 countries are still without a comprehensive safeguard agreement 
with the International Atomic Energy Agency to ensure full cooperation 
with that U.N. body.

Top US Officer says would prefer no war on Iran
Monday, 05 May 2008 16:47

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - U.S. military involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq 
would make it difficult to mount any attack on Iran, the Pentagon's top 
officer said in remarks broadcast on Monday, adding that he would prefer 
to avoid a new regional war.

"I actually am very hopeful that we don't get into a position where we 
have to get into a conflict," Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the Joint 
Chiefs of Staff, told Israel's Channel Ten television when asked if he 
might recommend that U.S. forces strike Iranian nuclear facilities 
preemptively.
