US issues Iran delegates late visas
Press TV – May 1, 2010
The United States has finally issued visas for Iranian delegates scheduled to attend next week’s United Nations nuclear disarmament conference in New York.
The last-minute issuance came on Saturday, after officials in Tehran condemned Washington’s delay in conferring visas to several members of Iran’s delegation. Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki had warned the US administration against taking the Unites Nations hostage.
“Issuing visas for officials from different countries to participate in UN assemblies is an obligation for US authorities not a prerogative,” he said earlier on Saturday.
Explaining the possible reasons behind the delay in the US decision, Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said Washington preferred the Iranian team not to take part in the conference.
“They are concerned that we might bring up some issues regarding disarmament, regarding the commitment of countries to the NPT — things that have not been done by those countries possessing nuclear weapons. They are afraid we might raise such issues,” he told Press TV.
The Iranian delegation to New York City includes President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who is to address the 2010 Review Conference of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
President Ahmadinejad is expected to present important proposals to revise the NPT. Tehran has been demanding a change in the articles of the NPT, arguing the 40-year-old treaty has been meaningfully undermined by countries such as the United States.

Probably had a lot to do with Kissinger’s still slimy tentacles wrapped around Obombaton’s cheating nut sack, huh? I mean, look at this. If it were some asshole from Israel, they’d have broken land speed records to get the visa’s approved (if you’re Israeli, you probably don’t even NEED a VISA to visit the U.S.S.A.??)
just one more case that proves that a shadow government is operating the U.S.S.A., and that there is no legitimacy anywhere in the facade government that people see and interact with every day.
Pretty sad that this kind of immature, bullshitting can go on and on when the Iranians have every right to attend the conference about the NPT, of which, Israel is not a signatory to, and still possesses nuclear weapons by the hundredfold.
I’m sorry, Amer’ka, but you are lost in space minus your helmets again. Truly unflipping believable.
