I would join Gunnar to cry for the ‘demise’ of Isfahan . A preemptive attack on the multi ethnic and beautiful city of Isfahan or any city in Iran would be a mistake. The historic city is adorned with the swinging minarets, huge Mosques, great Synagogue and ancient Churches. Isfahan is littered with well groomed gardens, clean lanes and aqueducts, an endless destination of tourists all the year round. I had a taste of its hospitality few years ago.
A nation’s right to develop capacity to produce energy and other peaceful scientific products of isotopes cannot be denied provided this option falls within the agreeable international laws and does not constitute security threat to other nations. There’s no doubt that the Middle East sub region will feel unsafe if Iranian Government does not equivocally reassure the world of her intentions and come under the terms of the IAEA. On the other hand, the policy of double standard would not augur well for peace since such stands would sustain tension on two divides.
The world is currently on a precipice of annihilation should the standoff of Iran’s alleged nuclear weapon build-up metamorphoses into preemptive military intervention from either Israel or USA. The voice of the International community, IPPNW and other peace advocates must be louder now than ever in mediation to prevent the doom’s day.

To the development of that concept AIMPGN contributed since the IV Congress of IPPNW (Helsinki, 4-8 june 1984).
