Chapter 586 The strange atmosphere of the Security Council

On the morning of April 8, Radio Arabia played Saddam's video on time.

In the video, former Iraqi President Saddam, who is 70 years old this year, stood in front of two rows of powerful soldiers in military uniforms and took a loud oath to fight with the United States to the end.

From the desolate desert in the background of the video, it can be seen that the news that Saddam is still hidden in Iraq or a certain region in the Middle East is not groundless. And the hundreds of powerful soldiers standing behind him also showed that Saddam did not avoid the pursuit of the United States in the four years of disappearance, but recovered the soldiers who were once loyal to him under the eyes of the United States and the world, forming a guard... an anti-American guard.

The news soon spread all over the world through the Internet. Compared with the Soken War, Saddam's appearance is undoubtedly more eye-catching. After all, Saddam is a real 'big celebrity'. In terms of fame, it is not much lower than that of Comrade Laden. It can be said that Saddam is one of the most famous presidents in the 21st world.

Even if today's Saddam is no longer the supreme leader of the more than 300,000 Iraqi Republican Guard, and no longer the hard-line figure who is stamping his feet and trembling in the Middle East. Without the army, whether Saddam can survive the all-round attack of tens of thousands of U.S. troops and others who have participated in the Iraq war has aroused the interest of many people who have nothing to do.

The Internet is full of speculation about Saddam's invisibility. In addition, it is speculation that Saddam appeared at this time. What is the reason? Are you ready to think you have the strength to fight against the Iraqi U.S. military? There are even some underground gambling houses with a strong background, betting on the time of Saddam's first battle with the Iraqi U.S. military, and the outcome of the first battle, etc. Although there is no rule to follow this kind of 'unsense' gambling, it has attracted many gamblers and ordinary people to bet because of its novelty.

At this time, the American political axe was not in the mood to manage the gambling in the underground world. The intelligence personnel in the Middle East under the Middle East Affairs Office of the Central Intelligence Agency are all dispatched like hounds. Under the pressure of the U.S. political axe, Iraq's current political axe also dispatched secret police to participate in the investigation of Saddam. It is important to find Saddam in the dark, and it is more important to prepare for Saddam's attack on the Iraqi U.S. military or Iraq's current political axe. Washington's plan to withdraw troops from Iraq early next year was postponed indefinitely again.

And because of the emergence of Saddam, the Senate, which originally opposed the increase in U.S. military spending in Iraq, urgently passed a special payment for the war in Iraq by 76 votes and 21 against, rising from 100 billion US dollars proposed by Washington to 200 billion US dollars at the beginning. In addition to the appearance of Saddam, which may lead to the deterioration of the situation in Iraq, another important reason is that Iran is about to conduct a nuclear explosion experiment.

As a country of the unity of church and religion, Iran became a member of the "blacklist" within the political axe of the United States more than a decade ago. Iran's secret plan to develop nuclear weapons has always made Washington furious. On many occasions, Washington has put pressure on Iran to stop Iran from conducting nuclear tests and conducting secret research and developing nuclear weapons.

However, to everyone's surprise, Iran, a country that could only produce 20% enriched uranium a year ago, will conduct a nuclear explosion test a year later. There is a huge gap between 20% concentration and 90% weapon-grade enriched uranium. How can Iran cross the gap in a year to make atomic bombs for experimental purposes?

The senior officials of the U.S. government are suspecting that Iran is secretly supported by a nuclear weapons state. This country may be one of the existing nuclear weapons states, or it may be North Korea. However, neither the U.S. political axe nor the intelligence department has considered that Iran's nuclear weapons technology comes from a nuclear weapons base secretly established by Japan in Africa.

In the morning, at United Nations Headquarters, the Security Council held an emergency meeting. At the meeting, representatives of the United States, Britain, France and other countries asked Iran's plenipotentiary in the United Nations to explain Iran's secret development of nuclear weapons. The United States and other countries have repeatedly pressured Iran on Iran's development of nuclear technology and entrusted the International Atomic Energy Agency to conduct a thorough investigation of Iran's nuclear facilities. The results of the investigation three years ago showed that Iran had not developed nuclear weapons. Later, because of the tough stance of Iran's political axe, the United States and other political axes relaxed their sanctions on Iran.

A year ago, Iran's political axe tore up the seal of the IAEA and conducted a new nuclear test. The commitment to the outside world is not to develop nuclear weapons, but to the peaceful use of nuclear energy. But who knows, just a year later, Iran actually made a big joke to the world, and the atomic bomb test is about to be carried out!

"Iran's secret study of nuclear weapons is to undermine world peace... It is against humanity..." The roar of Kate, the U.S. representative to the United Nations Security Council, echoed in the Security Council Chamber. He has lost the demeanor of a diplomat. Like a shrew on the street, he almost pointed to the nose of the Iranian representative and cursed.

It's not good not to be angry. The first half of 2007 was a disaster for the United States. First, more than 10,000 American soldiers were killed by the Taliban atomic bombs, and then the carefully prepared plan to destroy the Somali regime was ruined. Before the U.S. political axe could react, Saddam appeared, and Iran was going to conduct a nuclear test... All this was to stripping the face of the American political axe and endangering the United States. Global status. Kate has reason to vent her anger.

17 people, including representatives of the five permanent members of the Security Council Office, United Nations Secretary-General Annan, representatives of 10 members of the Security Council and representatives of Iran. There is a rare dull atmosphere in the Laughing Council Hall at meetings. The Russian representative Moros, who had always been careless, sat there with a solemn face. Except for listening to the roar of the American representative with his ears still, his eyes stared at a piece of information in his hand. The information is that the Iranian representative provided part of the content about Iran's nuclear program, accompanied by a proposal to join the nuclear club.

In today's world, there are five members of the nuclear club widely recognized by the international community, that is, the five permanent members, and three unofficially recognized members: Pakistan, India and Israel. In addition, there are more than 40 countries outside the 'nuclear threshold'. The so-called 'nuclear threshold' country refers to a country that once possessed, researched and developed nuclear weapons, but now does not. Iran and North Korea are the representative countries. In addition, countries and regions such as South Africa, Ukraine, Argentina and Taiwan are all 'nuclear threshold' countries.

Iran is a 'nuclear threshold' country, and suddenly wants to become an informal member of an international nuclear club like Pakistan. Among them, it is very difficult. First of all, we have to face the sanctions and attacks of today's nuclear-weapon states.

Since the emergence of nuclear weapons, more than 120,000 nuclear bombs have been produced and manufactured worldwide. Even after several nuclear weapons reduction agreements, more than 20,000 atomic bombs have been deployed worldwide so far. Enough to destroy the earth countless times. Generally speaking, there are atomic bombs that can destroy the earth countless times. There are many countries with nuclear weapons on the earth, and it doesn't matter if they make more nuclear weapons. Because whether it is 20,000 or 100,000, it can destroy the earth.

At present, nuclear weapons are no longer a weapon for warfare, but a weapon to ensure world peace. It can be said that nuclear weapons are the only weapon that has been successfully used to guarantee peace. However, weapons are weapons, which are needed to ensure peace and deter opponents. In the eyes of nuclear weapons countries, this ultimate weapon with dual uses is definitely in the hands of the fewest countries, and even the world is the best for its own country. No country wants to see an extra 'opponent', even if this opponent is so vulnerable in the comparison of nuclear weapons.

The Iranian representative did not care at all about the intimidation such as 'sanctions' shouted by the U.S. representative. In the minds of Iranians, the "sanctions" mentioned by the United States will not have any impact on Iran, but will provide impetus for Iran to cultivate its internal economy. Since the Iranian Revolution, Iran has faced more than 20 years of U.S. sanctions, while Iran's domestic economy is still good and has not collapsed, and it can be seen that all kinds of commercial supplies are emerging one after another.

After all, modern society is very different from the Cold War. At that time, the mainstream of the world was to beat opponents. In the past, the two camps led by the Soviet Union and the United States used various means to win the world's largest voice. Now that the Cold War is over, the mainstream of the world is to increase exchanges with each other and develop the economy. Under this mainstream or general trend, the sanctions imposed by the United States cannot affect the survival of a country. Of course, if Iran is a country that lacks resources, the impact of such sanctions is also very serious. But in fact, on the contrary, Iran has the most important strategic resource in the world - oil. This allows Iran to use oil to easily get rid of the U.S. blockade.

Kate, the representative of the United States, loudly refuted Iran's secret development of nuclear weapons for half a day, and he didn't know how much he had consumed. In the end, it was found that none of the representatives of more than a dozen countries present took the big stick to 'knock' Iran when he paused. This made Kate feel very dissatisfied and wary at the same time. He is not the kind of impulsive 'rough man' with no IQ, otherwise he would not have held such an important position as the U.S. representative to the Security Council. There seems to be something wrong with the atmosphere of today's emergency meeting of the Security Council.

"Mr. Hassan, you should know that at the 1996 session of the United Nations Congress, the 'Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty' was adopted, which is a treaty responsible for the whole world and effectively saved our planet from the pollution from the deterioration of natural conditions caused by various nuclear tests. As far as I know, Iran intends to conduct a nuclear explosion test. I don't know how Iran intends to solve this problem? The French representative pushed the frame and looked at the Iranian representative Hassan and asked slowly.

The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Tests was as early as 1963, when any regional nuclear tests related to the earth's environment, such as ground, water and space, were prohibited, and underground nuclear tests were not prohibited. It was not until 1996 that the global environment changed greatly and the comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty was adopted. Nowadays, nuclear tests in various countries are carried out subcritical experiments in laboratories.

Subcritical nuclear testing, so far, only a few countries have mastered this technology, which has very high requirements for the environment and technology of the experiment. And it is unknown whether this kind of experiment has an impact on the environment. But at present, it is the only way to conduct a nuclear test. In terms of Iran's nuclear technology, there is no possibility of a subcritical nuclear test. Moreover, because the subcritical nuclear test has just been developed and researched, many places are not perfect, and it is impossible to collect and obtain all the experimental data of the nuclear explosion like a nuclear bomb.
