Iran-Krise

Der Chef der US Delegation bei der heute begonnenen Überprüfungskonferenz zur Biowaffen Konvention warf dem Iran vor, wahrscheinlich auch über derartige Waffen zu verfügen.

Iran probably has germ warfare weapons, North Korea may have developed them and Syria could have carried out research into such banned weaponry, the United States told an arms control conference on Monday.

Addressing the opening session of the sixth review conference of the Convention on Biological Weapons (BWC), U.S. delegation head John C. Rood said those countries were of particular concern given their “support for terrorism”.

“We believe that Iran probably has an offensive biological weapons programme in violation of the BWC,” Rood said. “We also believe North Korea has a biological weapons capability and may have developed, produced and weaponised for use. (Reuters)

Der Iran, der die Biowaffen Konvention unterzeichnet hat, wies den Vorwurf zurück.

Das operative Wort der amerikanischen Vorwürfe ist „probably”.

„Wahrscheinlich” verfügt der Iran über Biowaffen. Vielleicht auch nicht.

Beweise gibt es keine.
