IS IT NUCLEAR ENERGY

WHAT IRANIAN PEOPLE REALLY NEEDS?

The Islamic Republic of Iran has been making efforts to obtain nuclear technology for years. This technology is not a priority need for a country like Iran which is rich in terms of oil. However, as a result of the insistence of the Islamic Republic leadership, reaching nuclear technology has become more important than people’s making a living, and the leadership has tried to show that reaching this technology is a right of the nation that cannot be given up.

In his speech, President of this regime said “It is worth getting this technology even if the state affairs go back to the time of 10 years ago”. Here, one must ask what is meant by the right that cannot be given up. Do they have the right to speak on behalf of the nation? Can they ask the Iranian nation through a referendum whether they want the regime to continue or not? How longer the nation will have to pay for the practices of the Islamic Republic’s authorities? Is generating electricity by using this nuclear energy costing as high as 1.5 billion dollars annually a true need of the Iranian nation? Is the aim of the uranium enrichment project of the Islamic Republic a peaceful one? Does a country located on the sea of energy resources need nuclear technology? Is paying high prices and opposing the whole world a benefit for the Iranian nation? Are the concessions made to Russia not enough? The Iranian nation asks the men of the regime “Doesn’t the nation have the right to freedom of thought, freedom of speech and freedom to elect the leadership?”

Doesn’t the Iranian nation have the right to question the reason for the payment of the price of what is being done by the leadership through economic embargoes? Isn’t it the right of the Iranian nation to have unemployment, poverty, corruption and starvation eliminated? Isn’t it strange for the Islamic Republic to seek uranium enrichment despite its extensive gas and oil resources? How can one trust a leadership the leader of which threatens the world with disorder and uprisings? How can the administrative corruption be ignored, which classifies the Iranian nation as those favoring it and those not favoring it? How can one trust a regime which does not obey any rules and laws and refers to the resolutions approved by the United Nations as scrap?

The Iranian nation does not approve the way followed by the leadership. The Iranian nation wants peace in the world. They are disturbed by the environment created by this regime. They suffer from economic deficiencies and lack of social justice and freedoms, not from nuclear deprivation… The Iranian nation wants religious, cultural, social and political freedom. The Iranian nation wants water, gas and electricity. The Iranian nation wants to be in agreement with the whole world. They want a country which takes care of their own sufferings, not a country like Nicaragua, Cuba, Palestine and Iraq…

Iranians want peace. They want justice to be applied. They want to have poverty eradicated. They want to breathe in places where they can feel the smell of freedom. They want to get rid of the incapable administrators of Iran. No leadership or country can reach its goal through war. Leaders of Iran must understand that there is a difference between their demands and the real demands of people. Nuclear technology is not what Iran needs. Acquiring this technology will not solve any of the problems of people; on the contrary, it will result in the further isolation of the country and increased poverty of people.
