This looks to be one of the most mind-numbingly convoluted and empty discussions the participants will ever have.. I betcha that the US blessed this, Israel’s nukes are a pain for American politicians, but don’t expect to hear much on the record from them..
IAEA conference to discuss Israeli nukes for first time](http://www.worldtribune.com/worldtribune/breaking_3.html)
The International Atomic Energy Agency has decided to discuss Israeli nuclear capabilities in its next major conference.
Diplomatic sources said the IAEA has placed on the agenda of its General Conference and Regular Session the subject of “Israeli Nuclear Capabilities and Threats.” The subject will be discussed at the conference in Vienna in September.
The sources said this is the first time in decades that the IAEA has placed Israel’s nuclear programs on the agenda of its general conference.
The conference has been planned from Sept. 15 to Sept. 19, Middle East Newsline reported. They said the subject was placed at the behest of Arab and Islamic states.
The proposal to discuss Israel’s nuclear programs came from the Arab League, the diplomats said. Oman was said to have submitted the request.
The IAEA has reserved the conference to also discuss Iran’s nuclear program and U.S. charges that Teheran is developing nuclear weapons. In response, Iran and Arab states have criticized the agency for failing to address Israel’s purported nuclear arsenal.
In a recent meeting, the Arab League has asserted that Israel has stockpiled up to 300 nuclear warheads. The league said Israel now has the capability of producing hydrogen bombs.
The sources said the Arab League plans to distribute a study on Israel’s nuclear programs to participants at the IAEA conference. The league will also demand that Israel sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
More news on Israel and nukes:
Israel has ready a plan](http://www.washtimes.com/national/inring.htm) to bomb Iran’s Bushehr nuclear-power plant should the Persian Gulf coast facility, now under construction, begin producing weapons-grade material, an insider tells us.
This source says Israel has mapped out a route its jet fighters would take to destroy what is designed to be a two-reactor plant. A successful strike would ensure that the radical Tehran regime does not develop nuclear weapons. Iran has tested 600-mile-range ballistic missiles that can reach Israel and carry nuclear, biological or chemical warheads.
Russia has signed an $800 million contract to provide two reactors for the plant near the port city of Bushehr. The United States opposes the deal, as well as any nuclear program in Iran.
Israeli F-16s penetrated Iraqi airspace in 1981 to bomb the Osiraq nuclear-power plant, at the Tuwaitha nuclear center near Baghdad. Analysts believe the action, while condemned by the international community, kept Saddam Hussein from acquiring the bomb.
U.S. Central Command has contingency plans for war with Iran, but there is no active discussion of invading a country that President Bush has put in the "axis of evil." Still, some in the Pentagon talk unofficially of what would be needed to take out the Bushehr plant.
If it makes you feel better to consider the government of Iran “glorious”, more power to you. But when compared to the democratic western governments you despise, this regime is a cruel and oppressive tyranny.
