On 23 December 2006 the United Nations Security Council in Resolution 1737, adopted a range of sanctions against Iran.
To give effect to Resolution 1737 New Zealand has introduced the United Nations Sanctions (Iran) Regulations 2007. Included in the Regulations are prohibitions on the export to or import from Iran of items, materials, equipment and goods that could contribute to Iran's enrichment-related, reprocessing or heavy water-related activities, or to the development of nuclear weapon delivery systems.
The Regulations are effective from 23 March 2007.
Iran has called U.N. resolution's 'invalid' and 'illegal,' and vows to continue enriching uranium.
You say they have the right to protect their self and i agree they do ,but does a country need Nuclear Weapons to do so? Especially a country who has intentions of wiping another country off the globe.It would be insane to let Iran have Nuclear Weapons.
Self defence is a not a good reason to let them have Nukes and I'm afraid diplomacy with Iran is out of the question since US policy doesn't allow us to negotiate with terrorist countries. Our policy is cease and assist or you are now our enemy and we will deal with you as such. Iran is our enemy, to think any differently would be crazy
Iran still seems to have no problems carrying on with their Nuclear ambitions and to say that they cannot built their own refineries is a ridiculous statement.They don't seem to have a problem building anything else.They have been building their own warships,warplanes,missiles and other war waging implements for some time now ,so to claim they cant build a refinery is not a realistic statement.
Do some more research... they do have an energy shortage. But you say that U.S policy doesn't allow.... We'll there is a problem with US Policy then. Thats why I do not want Gulliani for president because he implied that he would start a war with Iran. Why is dipomacy out of the question? Why assume that violence and war is the answer to all problems? Our leaders owe it to the american people to try every option before they put lives at risk. As I stated fighting is not the option...if we are supposed to be a moral authority or a world leader... we need to stop being the bully and handle problems like men, who can sit down and talk about their problems w/o violence...and come up with some sort of resolution. Is the answer in any relationship to fight? Diplomacy is the only and best option...You mention sanctions that are not even a year long....Besides we have placed sanctions on Cuba that have not worked... This needs to be talked out, which is why I support Obama because he sees this, while other candidates have your view point.
You want to do things like we always have...which hasn't worked... we need a new direction, because if we continue down this path... it will be WWIII. Maybe that is God's plan... to usher in his return...(Can't take religion out
) I don't know what you believe, but if we attack Iran... it will be WWIII- can you agree with that statement?
