Substitute Leader of Tehran Friday Prayers and Secretary of the Guardians Council Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati and Chief Looneytune on Friday called for Iran’s withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), reported the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA). “The treaty has been denounced by a number of states. Although Iran has signed the NPT, it is free to withdraw from it anytime,” he was quoted as saying.
Sound familiar? North Korea did this recently, and hasn’t been hurt. So why shouldn’t Iran?

Read on… it gets much worse…

Iran’s Vice-President and Head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization (IAEO) Gholam-Reza Aghazadeh addressing the 47th regular IAEA session had said that his country’s cooperation with the IAEA within the framework of the comprehensive safeguards will continue as before.
In other words, keep running their (literally) underground uranium enrichment program while pretending to focus on their unfinished and unneeded decoy reactor. By the way, isn’t it interesting that the head of the atomic program is also the vice president of the country?
According to Aghazadeh, Iran has been fully committed to its NPT responsibilities, not only due to its contractual obligation, but also because of its religious and ethical considerations, IRNA said.

It’s ethical responsibilities to hide the real program.

On Thursday, former Iranian president, Hashemi Rafsanjani said that Iran’s military strategy is defensive. “We are not a threat to any country in the world,” Rafsanjani stated.
On Dec 14th, this same Rafsanjani said:“If a day comes when the world of Islam is duly equipped with the arms Israel has in possession, […] application of an atomic bomb would not leave any thing in Israel but the same thing would just produce damages in the Muslim world. Jews shall expect to be once again scattered and wandering around the globe the day when this appendix is extracted from the region and the Muslim world.”
He added those who threaten Iran should know that conditions are different from the past and the Iranian nation is more than ever ready to defend the country.
Translation: we want you to think we already have nukes to go along with our chemical and biological weapons, and our missiles that can range Israel and Europe
