New Ploys against Iran

Yukia Amano’s latest report published by the media during the recent days follows the regular pattern of IAEA: a mixture of criticism and approval. Just as the era of ElBaradei, Iran's cooperation with the Agency have been praised, while ambiguities have been addressed too. At any rate, the report provides enough material for Western countries if they want to intensify international pressure on Iran.

Some observers believed that Arab Spring will marginalize Iran's nuclear program and send in to the bottom of Western countries’ agenda. But that will never happen. Iran's nuclear program may shrink in importance only if Western countries get occupied with a new urgent, quick-impact case such as the developments in Libya and Syria which were dealt with after a series of UN Security Council meetings which led to resolutions condemning systematic violation of human rights in both countries.
