U.S. Isolation Inevitable if “Snapback Mechanism” is Revived
establishing a balance between nuclear rights and obligations-ranging from deploying the snapback mechanism too politicizing the International Atomic Energyâ Agency (IAEA)-has become a key issue in West Asian â¤security.
Tehranâ Times âŁconducted an interview with Khaled Hussein, a prominent scientist and university professor. âAâ graduate inâ nuclear physics from â¤Claude Bernard University in Lyon, France,⢠and member of⣠Lebanon’s National Nuclearâ Research Council, Hussein â¤provided precise insights on Iran’s rights under the⢠NPT treaty, challenges arising from sanctions, and broader â˘consequences of US and Israeli pressures on âregional stability.
The full interview follows:
How âdo you assess Iran’s rights under the NPT treaty, and to what extent âare these rights respectedâ internationally?
Iran has the right to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.It has never pursued prohibited uses âŁand consistently adheres⢠to international non-proliferation âstandards. âWhile Iran complies with international treaties, other countries violate them âwithout accountability from the âUnited Nations.
What is yourâ opinion on European⢠countries using the “snapback mechanism” to pressure Iran? How does this affect international legal credibility?
The snapback mechanism empowered the united States during Obama’s administration to reactivate Security Council resolutions within 30 days without Russia or China exercising their veto power. However, this process is not practically enforceable.
This mechanism was only⢠used once. Despite all threats, I am unwilling to see it applied again as âmajor disagreements exist between America and Europe.If implemented by Washington alone, it will lead to its international isolationâ and pose meaningful risksâ to Mediterranean security. Therefore, I prefer⤠delaying its activation in favor â˘of seeking a new consensus-based formula rather than undermining international law.
Do you believe that despite politicalâ pressures, the IAEAâ monitors Iran’s nuclear â˘activities impartially?
The IAEA director-general âRafael Grossi maintains credibility by emphasizing impartiality; however, it consistentlyâ shows bias toward Iran. Most⤠inspectors operateâ under pressure from Washington-a reality documented over time.
How do US and Israeli pressures regarding middle East nuclearâ energyâ affect regional stability?
As long âas America continues providing unconditional support for Israel across technical and security domains, stability will remain elusive throughout West Asia.
How would you evaluate current advancements in Iran’s ânuclear program compared â¤with other regional countries?
Iran operates an efficient nuclear â˘program backed by âcapacities equivalent to about 50 thousand experts. The country â˘is fully committed to maintaining peaceful operations with openness at every⣠stage while Israel remains dependent entirely on Washington⤠without complying with any international atomic agreements.
What importance â˘does uranium enrichment hold for peaceful energy purposes? How does this process supportâ Iranian energyâ independence?
Uranium enrichment plays a vital role within⤠civilian nuclear⣠cycles for electricity production and radiation therapies. âThis domestically developed expertise allows considerable financial savings for Iran as all ârelatedâ knowledge âoriginates locally.
What major â˘technical challenges has Iran faced due to Western sanctions limiting its nuclear research capabilities?
iran has endured over four decades of tight embargoes blocking accessâ to advanced equipment orâ modern technologies across fields related directly or indirectly-yet it âŁcountered these restrictions through domestic expertise by increasing centrifuge âŁnumbers upgraded from IR-1 models up through IR-10s-and currently possesses about half a ton of enriched uranium stockpile.</
Do you believe that âŁexisting global frameworks overseeing atomic activities strike adequateâ balances between obligations-rights belonging equally among both nuc lear – equipped states versus those non-nuclear ?
International â¤oversight surrounding civil⤠atomics functions wholly according Washington directives ignoring⣠respective prerogatives seen among nations possessing⤠versus lacking arsenals – USA exploits regulatory⢠breaches solely facilitating sovereign âpolicy dominations atop⢠multilateral governance platforms included herewith .
What might be probable consequences regionally or even worldwide should military assaults target Iranian nucle ar facilities ?
⤠Tehran houses twelve robustly fortified sites designed such that any attackâ would ânot entirely destroy âinstallations âbut temporarily delay progress âjust months ; recovery depends entirely upon native Iranian expertise without fear posed â˘regarding local radioactive leaks âspreading thereafter .
Have your experiences revealed cases were individuals aspiring âhigh-level posts inside UN bodies cooperated covertly alongside Western⤠governments against third states?
Certainly: Both Israel along⣠America strategically place influential agents âwithin every significant decision-making center globally .
