Symposium on
"The Reasons and repercussions of Iran Nuclear Crises"
March 14, 2006
********************************************
In following up all current world events, Afro-Asian Peoples' Solidarity
Organization (AAPSO) held a symposium on Iran's Nuclear File and the
future scenarios of the situation. The symposium was attended by experts
and concerned individuals to discuss the current Iranian situation,
conventions on Non- proliferation of nuclear weapons, nuclear terrorism
and the future impact on the Middle East. Furthermore, the symposium
tackled the status of Iran neighboring countries, shedding the light on
referring the nuclear issue to the Security Council as well as the
Iranian view and potential reaction to the situation
Baring in mind
the fact that Iran signed the Treaty on the Non- proliferation of
nuclear weapons and the annexed protocol, the participants described
the current situation as if Iran insists to prove her goodwill by the
enrichment of Uranium for peaceful means. Meanwhile, the United States
of America is actually afraid of Iran's actions due to Iran's
unprecedented power and influence in the region from her west boundary
lines to the north of Israel. Such power and influence are the reasons
why other Countries involved in the world order with deep-rooted
relations with the one pole envy Iran for having such power and
influence. Meanwhile, such countries fear the fact that Iran might
posses the nuclear technology required for the production of nuclear
weapons. If USA succeeds to prevent Iran from possessing the nuclear
technologies, it can prevent other countries as well. This is considered
a clear violation of the Non- proliferation Treaty.
The international society can gradually impose commercial, smart or
financial sanctions to pave the way for dragging Iran to the Security
Council and perhaps launch a military attack against her later on.
There are four scenarios for the military attack : it can be a limited
impact military attack, or an Israeli bombing of the nuclear
foundations, or destroying the nuclear program through US military
attacks, or finally by toppling the current Iranian regime.
As for the potential Iranian reaction, Iran can use her best cards for
exerting pressure as being the second biggest oil exporter in OPEC and
the second natural gas reserve in the world. Iran can paralyze
navigation in the strait of Hormuz and the transfer of oil in the
Caspian sea as well. Hence, Iran can inflect damage to the world oil
market.
The symposium also tackled the results of each and every scenario and
the impact of the current crises on the region.
The symposium concluded by AAPSO's announcement about the seminar to be
held next month on "The Reflections of NATO Partnerships on the
Mediterranean regional security
