This February, Ahmadinejad simultaneously appointed Fereydoun Abbasi-Davani as head of the Iranian nuclear program and as one of his vice presidents. Abbasi-Davani plans to attend the IAEA Ministerial Conference on Nuclear Safety from June 20 until June 24 in Vienna. Due to his direct involvement in the Iranian nuclear weapons program, he has been subject to UN sanctions since 2007 and his name is mentioned in the EU sanctions resolution passed in 2010. Nevertheless, the UN-Commission lifted the travel restrictions for his visit to Austria. No other than Abbasi himself declared publicly earlier this month that Iran is going to triple its capacities of uranium enrichment in continued disregard of resolutions passed by the UN Security Council. Apart from condemnatory statements, this announcement provoked no reactions. Only a few days ago, Ahmadinejad renewed his threat of annihilation of the Jewish state and described Israel as a 'tumor' that needed to be 'surgically removed'. However, the Iranian bomb is not solely a threat to the Jewish state, it is a threat to the entire region, to the West, and to the Iranian population, which is being held hostage by the Iranian regime while it is pursuing its apocalyptic projects. Recently, a website run by the Revolutionary Guards speculated about "the day after the first successful nuclear bomb test" publicly for the very first time. The Iranian regime relies on people like Abbasi to acquire the technological means necessary for executing its fantasies of destruction. For the second time this month, Vienna is to give a forum to the Iranian regime, which persecutes homosexuals, women and minorities, organizes conferences on the denial of the Holocaust, finances worldwide jihadi terror and currently participates in the brutal suppression of the protests against its ally, the Assad regime in Syria. Representatives of the Iranian regime routinely take advantage of their appearances at international organizations for disseminating their murderous ideology. We demand: - No freedom of movement for the Iranian bomb-constructor-in-chief! - No forum for the representatives of an anti-semitic regime of Holocaust deniers! - Prompt and harsh sanctions in the energy sector to hinder the Iranian regime from continuing its projects!
