NPT decision on Israel 'a step forward'
Iran's ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has hailed a UN nuclear non-proliferation document calling on Israel to open its undeclared atomic facilities to international inspection. "It is a step forward in creating a world without atomic weapons," Iran's Ambassador to the IAEA Ali Asghar Soltanieh told IRNA on Saturday. Soltanieh went further to explain that the United States, despite its opposition to the NPT deal on Israel, would have to fall in line with other members of the international community. "The US reservation is only political sloganeering and it is obliged to go along with the global request that Israel join the NPT and open its installations to IAEA inspectors," he added.

PressTV: US rages at NPT over Israel decision: In a statement issued on Friday, US President Barack Obama said the agreement reached at the 2010 NPT review conference singled out Israel with regard to a nuclear weapons-free Middle East. "We strongly oppose efforts to single out Israel and will oppose actions that jeopardize Israel's national security," President Obama said.
[Editor's Comment:] The NPT review conference has correctly singled out "Israel" because the Zionist Entity is the only power in the Middle East that actually has any nukes. Mr. Obama is a windbag and a Zionist stooge. The world does not listen to him anymore. "Israel" is a lost cause. Mr. Obama should try and save the US instead.
