After Syria, it is now Iran´s turn. In a communication endorsed by the USA and other countries, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) stated that Tehran failed to comply with the nuclear safeguards and that Iran´s nuclear program is “worrysome”. Washington accuses the Iranian government of building a plant for uranium enrichment. President Bush has emphatically affirmed that the USA is not going to allow nuclear weapons in Iranian territory. “The international community should come together to clearly let Iran know that we are not going to allow the development of nuclear weapons in that country. Iran becomes dangerous if it builds a nuclear artifact,” he said. Washington presses Teheran to accept the UN´s inspections inconditionally. Iranian President, Mohammed Khatami, has denied the building of atomic bombs. “We do not believes that atomic weapons bring security to the nation,” said Khatami. According, to Mario Sznajder, an analyst from the University of Jerusalem, the reason for the pressure is the oil in the Arabian Peninsula. “If any Gulf state threatens to use nuclear weapons, that jeopardizes the oil extraction and destroys the world economy, because 60 percent of the world production comes from the region,” he told IstoÉ magazine.
