Former UN weapons inspector Hans Blix
hammers world powers for their 'hypocritical'
approach to the Islamic Republic's nuclear issue.
In a recent interview with Channel Four News, Blix said the West's approach to Tehran's nuclear standoff is in marked contrast to that of North Korea.
"The North Koreans have been offered guarantees against any attacks from outside, the Iranians have not been offered this as far as we know, nor have they been offered diplomatic relations which the North Koreans have been," said the former IAEA chief.
"When you see talks now with the North Korean and the Iranian, they sit there and are told by the US and other, who retain all these weapons, you should not have all these nuclear weapons, that it is a danger for you, it is not a danger for us, it is for the safety of the world that is very hypocritical," Blix affirmed.
He explained that Washington's recently-adopted 'policy of containment' is failing to resolve international issues, stressing that 'there are many things that can be done on the Western side'.
The Swedish politician, who led the hunt for Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction, is widely considered as one of the vocal critics of Washington's
invasion of Iraq in 2003.
