At the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency, another fiasco occurred, and under U.S. pressure, the Arab countries withdrew the resolution they had submitted to compel Israel to join the NPT, and instead, a watered-down statement was issued/ Edward Kennedy, the brother of a former U.S. president and the senator from Massachusetts, launched a sharp attack on Bush's warmongering policy and said that he had damaged America's reputation and undermined its credibility.
We visited the construction stages of the Jame Courtyard and Ghadir Courtyard, as well as the ancient Shah Mosque on the edge of the shrine development project and the site where Beheshti Boulevard is being built in the urban renewal area around the shrine. We went to the model farm and visited several agricultural and livestock programs. In the evening, accompanied by Mr. [Vaez] Tabasi, we flew to Tehran.
We arrived home near sunset. Faezeh and Sara and her twins had also come. Mohsen came and talked about the Metro [Company General Assembly] negotiations regarding Tehran Metro Lines 3 and 4 and Mr. Ahmadinejad's, [Mayor of Tehran], proposal to build monorail lines.
The U.S. veto of the Arab-proposed resolution in the Security Council to prevent the exile or killing of [Yasser] Arafat angered many countries. At the request of the Sudanese government, the issue was brought before the UN General Assembly, where there is no veto power, and it was approved by an overwhelming majority. Even 25 European countries voted for it after adding a clause condemning the killing of civilians. Only the United States, Israel, and two other countries voted against it, while several countries abstained, indicating the severe isolation of the United States.
Meanwhile, in the Board of Governors of the [International Atomic Energy] Agency, another embarrassment occurred. Under U.S. pressure, the Arab countries withdrew a resolution they had submitted to compel Israel to join the NPT, and instead a watered-down statement was issued. Edward Kennedy, [brother of the former U.S. president and senator from Massachusetts], also launched a sharp attack on Bush's, [U.S. president], warmongering policies, saying that he had damaged America's reputation and undermined its credibility.
