Subject: RE: BS: Who's Next? Iran or Korea?
Well, France certainly violated its commitment to the NPT in assisting Israel's acquisition of a nuclear weapon.

NO. At the time that France assisted Israel, it had NOT signed the NPT.




While Iran says it is not trying to produce a nuclear weapon. It says, quite rightly, that the NPT gives Iran the right to develop nuclear technology for the purpose of producing energy, and it is entitled to enrich uranium for this purpose.

ONLY under the guidelines and restrictions ( monitoring) of the IAEA that Iran rejected.




The concentration levels that they are able to achieve with their centrifuges is proof that they are not capable of producing weapons grade uranium.


False statement. The fact that they can produce the low level enrichment and have the additional centrifuges is proof that they CAN produce weapons grade fissionable material.




Iran is the only NPT country whose right to nuclear energy is being challenged,

No other signatory has rejected the IAEA inspections.



while France has not been sanctioned for its violation of the NPT.

Since it has no such violations, how can it be sanctioned??????
