Israel passes law against Iran N-program

The general assembly of Israel’s Knesset endorsed a bill which levies sanctions and fines on economic transactions with the entities which have commercial ties with Iran.

The Israeli lawmakers passed the bill at their first round of deliberations on the issue.

During the session, Israeli-Arab legislator Mohammad Baraka lashed out at the passage of the so-called anti-nuclear Iran legislation, saying “If we are after weapons of mass destruction that threaten regional peace, such weapon is right here in Israel,” Israeli media reported Monday.

“I say this, not as someone who is aware of state and military secrets [of the regime] but as a fact that has been published throughout the world,” Baraka was quoted by Israeli news outlets as saying.

He further insisted that the prime objective behind raising the anti-Iran bill was to divert attention from the absence of any Israeli efforts to hold talks with Palestinians.

The Arab member of the Knesset reportedly opposed the legislative scheme as irrelevant, brazen and deceitful, arguing that the law banning trade with Iran had already existed and it comes despite the knowledge that America and the West will not allow Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Defense chief Ehud Barak to engage in military adventurism against Iran.

The Israeli regime is widely known to possess hundreds of atomic warheads, something that it has never denied under its so-called nuclear ambiguity policy. The regime further refuses any international inspection or monitoring of its nuclear activities. It has persistently declined to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Yet, the Tel Aviv regime has led an international anti-Iran campaign with unreserved backing from its chief allies in the US and Western Europe, claiming that the Islamic Republic’s nuclear energy program may contain a non-civilian diversion.

Iran’s nuclear energy program has been under close monitoring and scrutiny of the International Atomic Energy Agency, which has never provided any verifiable evidence about diversions in the program.
