If Iran makes a nuclear bomb "it would definitely use it
against Israel or against any other enemy state," a former representative
of the Iranian Foreign Ministry said in an exclusive interview aired on Friday
on Channel 2 television.
"The [Iranian]
regime thinks that if it has several atom bombs, it will grant it an insurance
policy," Mohammed Razza Hidari said. "They believe that if [they have
a nuclear weapon], the world would treat them the way it treats North Korea."
He also warned that if Iran is allowed to stall for more time,
"it will have the knowledge to make a nuclear bomb in less than a
year."
Hidari, who was stationed at the Tehran International Airport and
supervised many of the incoming flights, told Channel 2's Enrique Zimmerman
that Venezuela provides uranium for Iran's nuclear program.
"Venezuela buys weapons from criminals and sends them to
Iran," Hidari told Channel 2. "Among the things sent were, for
example, uranium purchased from mob organizations and sent to the Islamic
republic."
During his tenure at the airport, Hidari saw "many groups of
Hezbollah men who came to Iran to acquire knowledge, among other things."
He also revealed the Iranian
Revolutionary Guards Corps were in contact with terror organizations in Iraq
and Afghanistan, that were linked to the Taliban and to al-Qaida.
Hidari also served as the Iranian
envoy in several different countries, among them Georgia and Norway. There, he
worked to recruit Western nuclear scientists by promising them a hefty salary.
Two years ago Hidari defected
after seeing the Tehran regime suppress opposition protests by slaughtering
citizens, and went into hiding in Oslo, Norway, where he works to overthrow
Iran's Islamic regime.
"[The West] should impose
political sanctions on Iran [such as] closing all Iranian embassies, and not
allowing Iranian ministers to visit other countries, like they did with the
Apartheid regime," Hidari concluded.
What Hidari says confirms what Bernard Lewis, Raphael Israeli, Reza Kahlili, Harold Rhode, Menashe Amir, Matthias Kuntzel and James Woolsey have been saying about Iran attacking Israel,
the US and Europe. However, Hidari does not explain how come Iran is not
deterred by the nuclear arsenal of the countries he says Iran intends to attack. The
above mentioned scholars do just that. When will the censorship and
self-censorship about the religious/ideological motives based in Shia
eschatology and the Twelvers' beliefs be lifted so that the public can
finally be informed what is so fundamentally different in the Iranian threat?
How long can everyone pretend not to know?
The Israeli government
should have organized a seminar of Islamic scholars to discuss the
validity of Bernard Lewis's MAD statement "for
people with this mindset, M.A.D. is not a constraint; it is an
inducement..." . Why haven't they? At
least it would become a topic of discussion, and not almost unknown or a taboo
as in today's climate
