Most people want 'US nukes dismantled'

Posted on by

An opinion poll suggests that the international community should force the US to accept Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad proposal for dismantling its nukes.

Nearly 53 percent of respondents to the Press TV poll held that the international community should step up pressure on the Obama administration to dismantle its nukes.

Some 38 percent of the respondents said that this feat is impossible because the US would never agree to Ahmadinejad’s proposal. Only seven percent believed that the US has the right to possess nukes.

At the 2010 Review Conference of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) at the UN headquarters in New York, Iran’s president called for the dismantling of all atomic weapons, starting with those in the possession of the US and its allies.

The Iranian president said the United Sates, despite being a signatory to the NPT, is the “main suspect” responsible for the stockpiling, spread and the threatening of other nations with nuclear weapons.

Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki met with Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani in the holy city of Najaf Saturday to discuss the political process and the formation of a new government   Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki met with Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani in the holy city of Najaf Saturday to discuss the political process and the formation of a new government.

“Sistani called for positive interaction between political parties to form a government including embrace all Iraqis and abide by the constitution,” al-Maliki told reporters after their meeting.

The results of the March 7 elections showed al-Maliki’s State of Law coalition coming in second place with 89 seats after the Iraqiya List, led by former prime minister Iyad Allawi, which got 91 seats in the 325-member parliament.

Ayatollah Sistani “does not interfere in the Federal Court’s decision on which is the biggest bloc, and as far as I know and understand al-Sistani he will not interfere in such issues,” al-Maliki added.

As the results have not been ratified by the Federal Court yet, and no bloc has patched together a large enough coalition to form a government on its own, Allawi insists he has the right to form a new government because his party won the highest number of seats.

However, al-Maliki said he has the right to form the government after his recent alliance with the Iraqi National list, that formed the largest faction in parliament with 159 deputies.

Yet, that number is still four seats short of a working majority, and both sides cannot agree on who will head the government.
