Iran to Hold Major Gathering This Spring
No joke – This spring, Iran will hold an international conference on… wait for it: Nuclear Disarmament.
The conference, dubbed “Nuclear Energy for All, Nuclear Weapon [sic] for None,” will be held in Tehran on April 17 and 18.
Foreign ministers, representatives and nuclear experts from 60 countries have been invited to attend the event where “participants are slated to assess the causes and reasons underlying the lack of heed and attention to the implementation of nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) regulations.”
Do you think this might mean some serious contemplation by Iran of its numerous violations?
So grab your tickets today! The conference even includes a field trip. Perhaps on their way to Isfahan attendees will take the advice of Nathan Hodge and stop off at Natanz, maybe even Qom… could be a great trip!
