The war between Israel and Iran was also born from ambiguity and delays of the UN Agency for atomic energy. And so the United Nations fail in the task for which they were born: to maintain peace.
For what is happening in the Middle East, the UN has a great responsibility. Or rather: the inability of the UN to fulfill the task for which it was born. From its foundation to today, in eighty years of life, the organization for the United Nations not only has not managed to maintain the commitment to encourage the peaceful solution of international disputes, maintaining peace and promoting respect for human rights but, often, has put on her assisting impassively to massacres and conflicts.
I don’t only think of the shame of the massacres and military interventions perpetrated under the eyes of the blue helmets, without the need to take on any initiative in the glass building. And not even I refer to the many times in which the interventions necessary to avoid a war have been blocked by the opposing vetoes of the Security Council (tool, that of the law of the founding countries to stop the sanctions, which shows how not all states are the same, but someone is more equal than the others). No, I think of the siea mess, the International Agency for Atomic Energyorganism founded in July 1957 with the aim of promoting the peaceful use of nuclear energy, avoiding the use for military purposes. AIEA is an autonomous UN agency, but responds to the General Assembly and the United Nations Security Council.
Why do I speak of the mess and responsibility of the body led by Rafael Grossi? To answer I think a step back is necessary. For more than twenty years the agency has been investigating the Iranian nuclear power and for two decades the relationships of the inspectors have been ambiguous to say the least. Despite the countless visits to Tehran’s atomic energy program sites, officials have never provided a clear response on what the Ayatollah regime is pursuing. Do you enrich the uranium or not in order to build the bomb? Or is he preparing reactors to produce energy to civil purposes? I understand that we are talking about a dictatorship, which, of course, does not allow scientists sent to perform inspections to circulate freely. However, I believe that in twenty years and more of checks the Aiea has made a precise idea about what Iran is doing. There are reports from many security agencies, there are supplies of material and there are sites that, even if not freely inspected, should make it clear what the regime is working on. Instead, for almost a quarter of a century, more than certainties have been opinions on Iranian nuclear nuclear power centuries.
Precisely for this, While Barack Obama signed an agreement with the Ayatollah who provided for the cancellation of the penalties in exchange for a renunciation of the construction of the atomic bomb, Donald Trump, when he became president the first time, decided to leave the agreementconvinced that Tehran was doing the opposite of what he had promised. Joe Bidentaken as new Commander in Chiefhe resumed the negotiations and drew up some funds seized by his preceder, which Iran employed financing Hezbollah, Hamas and other nice movements of terror. A pull and spring favored by the lack of clarity of the AIEA.
Even in what is happening now, with the war unleashed first by Israel and then by the United States, the ambiguity of the agency has to do with it. Ten days ago, the leaders of the body approved a resolution in which Iran accused of enriching the uranium for military purposes. It is on the basis of this report that Benjamin Netanyahu has raised military planes in flight ordering to bomb Tehran. And it is always on the basis of what was put on black and white by the nuclear energy agency that the United States and Europe said in chorus that the Ayatollah regime could not have the atomic bomb. In other words, the Israel-Iran war began from the accusations of lack of credible responses by the Islamic Republic. For days, missiles that killed dozens of people have launched themselves from one side. Only at war broke out did Aiea heard the obligation to clarify: we never said that Tehran is manufacturing the nuclear bomb. But how, Israel Bombarda strong of the agency’s resolution and this does not feel the immediate need to clarify what he said, without misunderstandings or interested interpretations, but does it four days later?
Moreover. Sunday night Trump It gives green light to the bombings of the Iranian nuclear sites by disassembling devices capable of piercing the mountain and reinforced concrete and Aiea, that is, the body from which everything was born, decides to convene an emergency meeting. But not in the hours immediately following the attack, but today. The world is on fire, in the Middle East there is a risk of nuclear and military catastrophe, but the UN agency that should help us understand what is going on and what the effects of the bombings are, organizes urgent meetings taking time? Why not immediately? Because not a few hours after the military intervention ordered by Trump? I understand that there is a weekend and that, although the world goes to roll, the inspectors have the right to rest, but the bombs do not break the weekend.
After shaking any threat to the United States, the Iranian regime took it right with Aiea, saying that sooner or later it will regulate the accounts with the agency. I don’t like the Ayatollah and let alone those who announce that they want to erase a country from the face of the earth by setting on the military bases of another and financing terrorism. However, perhaps, the time has come to take note that the UN not only does not avoid conflicts but in some cases, with its own ignor, it risks causing them.
