FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda “All these issues [the disputes over Iranian nuclear program] should be resolved peacefully through negotiations, through dialog,” Ban told reporters in Vienna on Friday.
Expressing his opposition to any possible military action by Washington and Tel Aviv against Tehran, Ban emphasized that there is no alternative to a “peaceful resolution to this issue.”
This comes while earlier this month, the Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said if Western sanctions against Iran fail to stop its nuclear program, military action against the country must be placed on the agenda.
The United States, Israel and their European allies accuse Tehran of pursuing military objectives in its nuclear program and used this pretext to sway the UN Security Council to impose four rounds of sanctions against the Islamic Republic.
Washington and Tel Aviv have also threatened Tehran with the “option” of a military strike against its nuclear facilities.
Tehran, however, refutes such allegations as “baseless” and maintains that as a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) it has every right to develop and acquire nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.
The IAEA has conducted numerous inspections of Iran’s nuclear facilities but has never found any evidence indicating a diversion in Tehran’s civilian nuclear program.
Iranian officials have also promised a crushing response to any military strike against the country, warning that any such measure could result in a war that would spread beyond the Middle East.
