The Real Threat Isn’t Nukes — It’s Sovereignty
When China, Russia, and Iran convened with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on April 24, 2025 (Reuters), Western media responded with predictable hysteria. Ominous headlines screamed about “nuclear threats,” “regional instability,” and “rogue states.” But the truth, buried under imperial propaganda, is far simpler: Iran is not violating international law. Iran is exercising its legal rights under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). And the empire’s real fear isn’t proliferation — it’s the proliferation of sovereignty.
Iran and the NPT: The Law Is Clear
Iran is a full signatory to the NPT — a treaty designed to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, promote disarmament, and guarantee the right of all signatories to peaceful nuclear technology. Article IV of the NPT makes it explicit:
“Nothing in this Treaty shall be interpreted as affecting the inalienable right of all Parties to develop, research, produce and use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.”
Iran, unlike nuclear-armed Israel, has signed and ratified the NPT. Iran has repeatedly allowed International Atomic Energy Agency inspections under its Safeguards Agreement. Iran negotiated and upheld the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) — an agreement later unilaterally violated by the United States under Donald Trump.
If the NPT means anything at all, then Iran’s right to pursue civilian nuclear energy is not in dispute. It is codified in international law.
Even U.S. Intelligence Confirms It
Not even the empire’s own spies can maintain the lie. The 2007 U.S. National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) concluded with “high confidence” that Iran had halted any nuclear weapons program as early as 2003 and had not restarted it. Subsequent annual intelligence assessments — including reports by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 — reaffirmed that Iran was not pursuing nuclear weapons.
For example, the 2023 ODNI Threat Assessment clearly stated:
“We continue to assess that Iran is not currently undertaking the key nuclear weapons-development activities that would be necessary to produce a nuclear device.”
[(U.S. DNI 2023 Threat Assessment)]
In other words, the empire knows Iran’s nuclear program is civilian. They just don’t care — because the real “threat” is an Iran that refuses to kneel.
The Empire’s Nuclear Hypocrisy
The loudest shrieks about Iran come from the world’s greatest nuclear hypocrites. The United States, Britain, and France collectively maintain thousands of active nuclear warheads — with no intention of disarming. Israel, armed with an estimated 90–400 nuclear weapons, remains outside the NPT entirely and refuses all inspections — yet is treated as a pillar of “regional security.”
When Iran enriches uranium for reactors, it is treated as a global emergency. When Israel deploys undeclared nuclear submarines in the Mediterranean, it is celebrated as “deterrence.” When the U.S. modernizes its nuclear arsenal with next-generation warheads, it is called “national security.” The double standards are not contradictions. They are imperial policy.
The goal is not non-proliferation. The goal is controlled proliferation — arms for friends, sabotage for enemies.
Iran, China, and Russia: Multipolar Defiance
The joint meeting between Iran, China, and Russia is not the birth of a “nuclear axis,” as Western media hisses. It is the logical consequence of imperial betrayal. Iran turned to diplomacy with the JCPOA and was met with sanctions, sabotage, and assassination campaigns. Multipolar alliances are the only rational response to an empire that enforces treaties selectively and wages economic warfare as standard practice.
China and Russia, themselves targets of U.S. hybrid warfare, understand that the struggle for nuclear sovereignty is not just about reactors — it’s about resisting recolonization. It’s about asserting that the Global South has the right to industrialization, development, and security — without imperial permission slips.
This tripartite dialogue strengthens the multipolar project. It is a signal to Washington, London, Paris, and Tel Aviv: the era of uncontested imperial diktat is cracking.
Iran’s Nuclear Sovereignty Is Our Fight Too
Iran’s struggle to assert its nuclear rights is not separate from the global fight for decolonization. It is part of the same battlefield — from Palestine to Venezuela, from Zimbabwe to Yemen, from Ecuador to Haiti.
When empire screams about “threats,” it reveals its own terror: the terror of peoples and nations who refuse to be slaves. The terror of independent development. The terror of liberation technology controlled by the formerly colonized.
Iran’s dignity today is the world’s dignity tomorrow. Its right to peaceful development is the right of every oppressed nation. And the defense of that right — through solidarity, struggle, and uncompromising clarity — is the duty of every revolutionary.
Because a multipolar world will not be gifted.
It must be built.
And defended.\n
