According to Pakistan wants NATO supply routes on


The Pakistani government gave instructions to their negotiators to conclude negotiations with the United States for the reopening of NATO supply routes into Afghanistan, closed six months ago, said Pakistan's president, Asif Ali Zardari. "Our Parliament ruled in favor of cooperation and association with the international coalition (ISAF) in Afghanistan and were instructed to come to an agreement," Zardari indicated in the text of his speech to 50 heads of state and government of countries that are part of ISAF, the NATO summit meeting in Chicago. The reopening of the routes to train Pakistani-NATO strategy for the gradual withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan-Atlantic alliance is hindered by the cost of the toll charged for Islamabad, considered "unacceptable" by Washington. The American press indicates that Islamabad requires $ 5,000 per container, 30 times more than before the closure of roads in Pakistan. Pakistan six months ago prohibits the passage of NATO forces on its territory as a reprisal for the killing of 24 Pakistani soldiers hit by mistake in a U.S. air strike in Salala. The NATO secretary general, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, told reporters he hoped "that the negotiations are concluded positively that the roads can be reopened refueling soon." The reopening of the road is a "logistical challenge", the head of the Atlantic alliance, since 23,000 of 90,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan leave the country in late summer (northern hemisphere), not counting the French troops to withdraw this year also , according to statements made by President Francois Hollande.

North Korea will strengthen nuclear deterrence after pressure


North Korea stepped up its war of words against the United States on Tuesday, vowing to strengthen nuclear deterrence after receiving an alert of new sanctions if it does not abandon the nuclear program. Last week, world leaders gathered in the United States said North Korea had to adhere to international standards on nuclear issues and would face more isolation would "continue on the path of provocation." The spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs North Korea sent a letter through the official news agency KCNA said on Tuesday that it would "bolster its nuclear deterrence, while the United States continued with its hostile policy" and planned " defensive measures "after pressure from Washington. Under the command of the new leader Kim Jong-un, North Korea launched a long-range rocket in April, breaking an agreement with the United States, which have traded food aid for access to its nuclear facilities, among other things. Many experts now believe that the reclusive North is preparing for a third nuclear test, and could even use highly enriched uranium, or the level of production of weapons-the first time. Experts say North Korea already has enough material plutonium for at least six nuclear bombs. The U.S. special representative for North Korea, Glyn Davies, told reporters in Seoul on Monday that Pyongyang could expect a "swift and sure" international community's reaction if other conduct hostile actions. Speaking to reporters in Beijing on Tuesday after meeting with Chinese officials, Davies said he had yet to study the North Korean statement. "I guess I would summarize by saying that I think most of it. I do not know if this adds or diminishes what we already know about the view of North Korea about what is happening right now," he said. China is the only significant economic and diplomatic ally of North Korea and now is putting pressure on the country to back down from plans for a nuclear test. Yang Moo-jin, a professor at the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul, was skeptical that the latest rhetoric from Pyongyang signaled an imminent nuclear test. ? "North Korea is simply saying:'' Do not shake or cause us''," he said. Recent satellite images published by Defence Weekly, IHS Jane's, a specialist publication of the defense, showed that there was more work at the site of previous nuclear tests that could indicate that the North was preparing for its third nuclear test. The publication shows trolleys and mining excavation equipment as well as a debris from the tunnel could be used for another test. "A third nuclear test by North Korea would be the last move to restart its nuclear weapons program, the country agreed to retire in a Feb. 29 agreement with the U.S.," said an analyst at Janes, James Hardy. Since the death of Kim Jong-il in December, Kim Jong-un, believed to be close to 30 years old, has shown he will continue with the hard-line military policy of his father.

Iran opens doors to A-bomb lab?

Just before the next round of multilateral negotiations in the nuclear dispute with Iran has spread to the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Japan's Yukiya Amano, hope for an early clarification of the issues: It would be under prepared shortly an agreement with Tehran, the "promote cooperation" would, he said Tuesday in Vienna after his arrival in Tehran, where he had been negotiating for several days. Amano said, part of the Agreement will be required of the IAEA access to military research facility in Parchin near Tehran. There are many indications that Iran is there performing tangible development for components of a nuclear weapon - but declared military installations from the right of inspection by the IAEA are not covered, and the IAEA demanded the respect Parchin but for months, say Western diplomats that Iran might indeed regard, given the evidence An original construction of a nuclear Parchin certainly, if there was nothing to hide - there was a visit just a kind of "litmus test" of good will. 


Play for time in ten years

In fact, it was said until mid-March in Tehran, IAEA inspectors could visit any time Parchin - in fact it was once again nothing. Nor are the accusations of the West and Israel that Iran already possesses the bomb soon, now is not true since ten years now. Iran has played tactically brilliant at times and several resolutions of the UN Security Council, he should disclose his illegal nuclear program, ignored without consequence. And they say even now that "the conditions are held" in the new agreement with the IAEA once should, among which there is access to documents, and expert systems. Amano himself said that it still existed "some differences" of opinion - suggesting that Tehran continues to play time and is likely an early visit to Parchin remain unlikely. Iran suffers noticeably under sanctions imposed by UN and EU sanctions, mainly the oil, transport and financial sectors, and could therefore be ready to back down.While negotiations between the IAEA and Iran to the representatives had been only a week ago in Vienna once again ended without result. Had in the past few months, particularly in Israel and more clearly threatened military action against Iranian nuclear facilities, Iran should not own heart, and these concerns were allayed. There were also attacks on Iranian nuclear scientists, behind which is to put Israel.Conversely, military experts give an Israeli attack on Iran only limited opportunities and tremendous fear of consequences for the whole region should Iran retaliate.

Nuclear summit in Baghdad

Today, Wednesday, is in Baghdad for one of the few rounds of negotiations between Iran and the permanent members of UN Security Council (U.S., Russia, China, France, Great Britain) and Germany. The United States urged Iran on Tuesday once again to eliminate all doubts. "A full and transparent cooperation with the IAEA is the first logical step," said the U.S. representative to the IAEA, Robert Wood.
