Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan recently rightfully condemned Western countries' focus on Iran's nuclear program, stressing that the world should be dealing with Israel's nuclear weapons instead. The Turkish president correctly noted that Israel has "nuclear weapons" and has illegally used "phosphorous bombs" against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
"If only Iran is put on the world agenda, then we may neglect other issues such as the Gaza [conflict] that should be addressed," Erdogen sarcastically commented .
Upon his arrival to Istanbul from New York, Erdogen said that during his recent meetings in the UN General Assembly and the G20 leaders' summit in Pittsburg, no military option against Iran has been on the agenda.
Tehran says its nuclear program is being pursued within the framework of the IAEA and international regulations. The UN nuclear watchdog in its previous reports has confirmed that Iran only enriches uranium-235 to a level of "less than 5 percent."
Please note, Uranium, which fuels a nuclear power plant, can be used for military purposes only if enriched to high levels of above 90 percent."
And this is precisely what Israel has been doing for some time ~ while hypocritically accusing Iran now for supposedly doing the same thing.
