But running your mouth and making threats does NOT violate any international law. You must actually DO something to break a law. So my question stands.Cadet Seaman said:I'm sure when Iran makes threats of wiping a whole country off the face of the earth they are good for it.

Thanks to the forum administrators for not throwing me out or deleting my posts.
A few posts have asked which articles of the NPT have either country violated, thats a good question. As far as I can see at this time I don't believe either country has offcially voilated the NPT. The IAEA is still investigating Irans case and I have asked them to provide me with details on any investigations they are conducting on the US.
I think we are all fairly clear on the case against Iran but in summary the US maintains Iran has had a secret Nulcear Weapons programme for 20 years and this breaches their commitment to the NPT. Interestingly I am not aware of the US accussing Iran of breaching Article 2 of the NPT which prohibits non-nuclear-weapon states from acquiring the materials or technology to create weapons, this might be because it will self incriminating, if anyone in the forum can confirm/deny this that would be great.
The case against the US is that it has proliferated Nuclear Weapons by transfering knowledge and materials to various states most notably Israel which is not a signatory of the NPT but ironically possibly to Iran . This breaches Article 1 of the NPT.
Iran also mainatains that the US by actively opposing its peaceful nuclear programme is in breach of article 4 for the NPT.
If you followed the link and James Risen is telling the truth the real irony is that both countrys would be in breach on the NPT! Although I guess it wont be all that surprising..

He doesn't have to be Anti-American to disagree with American policies, he just has to have an opinion.
As for this talk about Israel attacking, I am pretty sure that Sharon's condition and probably imminent death will put a hold on those plans, if they even exist at all.

Sharon's death may put Israeli hardliners who favor an attack on Iran ahead in March 28th poll.
