IRAN petition responding to the upcoming 5+1 talks on Iran's nuclear development -- supported by the IAC and Ramsey Clark
As we approach the new round of negotiations between the countries of 5+1 i.e.
US, UK, France, Russia, China plus Germany with Iran to discuss the so called
“Iran’s nuclear issue”, we the undersigned declare our stand
on this issue, as follows:
There are two sides in this dispute, one composed of US and its allies in the
European Union who accuse Iran for trying to develop nuclear weapons –
without presenting even an iota of credible facts and supporting documents
– and the other, Iran, which is striving to protect its right to develop
nuclear energy for peaceful purposes based on provisions of International
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Using an unfounded accusation as a pretext for acts of aggressions, one side of
the dispute headed by the US empire is currently punishing the other side,
Iran, with the genocidal sanctions, an inhuman act that has endangered the life
of 10s of millions of innocent Iranian citizens for their “crime”
of deciding to live independent and free from the yoke of hegemonic powers.
The excuse for these aggressions is an allegation that has strongly been
denied by Iranian officials and international organizations such as the
Non-aligned Movement representing 120 countries. Furthermore, the charge
against Iran on intending to develop nuclear weapons has even been refuted by
the intelligent agencies of the US itself.
One side to this dispute has continuously shown its imperial arrogance through
war crimes in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and Syria and by fully backing the
repeated Israeli mass killings of the Palestinian people, and the other, Iran,
has not initiated any war against any nation since its people overthrow the US
puppet regime of Shah back in 1979. That record matched with the current
position of Iran on opposing wars elsewhere in the world indicates the
fact that Iran wishes to live in peace with other nations.
Knowing the facts and the real stands of each party to this dispute, how could
a freedom-lover keep silence and be impartial on the “negotiations”
among these two opposing camps? In these negotiations one side is the
oppressor and the other side is oppressed. One side is after domination,
exploitation and plunder and the other side is looking to preserve its right to
self-determination and sovereignty. One side represents the privileged
interests of the big capitalist forces which constitute only %1 of the world
population and the other is struggling for peace, independence and justice,
causes in common with the interests of 99ers. That is why we take side
with Iran and we urge all activists in the international peace movement to join
us by signing this petition and demand:
- Lift immediately all sanctions and stop threats of war against
Iran.
- Fair deal with Iran, recognize the right of Iranian people to
develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
- Hands off Iran
