[I]Head of Parliament's (Majlis) Commission on National Security and Foreign Policy Alaeddin Boroujerdi[/I]
[quote=PressTv]A senior Iranian lawmaker has renewed Tehran's offer of assistance in capping the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, with the US dodging a response to the proposal.
Head of Parliament's (Majlis) Commission on National Security and Foreign Policy Alaeddin Boroujerdi said Thursday that Iran was ready to employ its expertise in containing oil spills to put an end to the "environmental catastrophe" in the Gulf of Mexico.
"Despite the aggressive US stance towards the Iranian nation, Iran is ready to help put an end to the spill because of severity of the environmental catastrophe," IRNA quoted Boroujerdi as saying during a meeting with Swiss Ambassador to Tehran Livia Leu Agosti on Thursday.
The Swiss embassy is in charge of the US Interests Section in Iran, after Washington and Tehran ended all relations in the aftermath of the 1979 US Embassy takeover in Tehran.
Boroujerdi and Agosti also discussed the latest US-proposed sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program, that were passed at the UN Security Council (UNSC) on June 9.
"Imposing sanctions will not prompt the Iran nation to surrender and the Iranian nation will continue to defend their legal rights," Boroujerdi stressed.
The UNSC move came three week after Iran, Turkey and Brazil issues the Tehran declaration.
Foreign ministers of Iran, Turkey, and Brazil signed the declaration in the Iranian capital on May 17, according to which Iran would ship 1200 kilograms of its low-enriched uranium to Turkey to be exchanged for 120 kilograms of 20 percent enriched nuclear fuel rods to power the Tehran research reactor, which produces radioisotopes for cancer treatment.
The Swiss ambassador, whose country has been urging dialogue with Iran, expressed optimism that the declaration can still be used as the basis for talks between Iran and the world powers.
The US has characteristically ignored repeated offers of help from Iran to contain the oil spill. The National Iranian Drilling Company (NIDC) offered its assistance twice in May.
Earlier this week, a commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), Brig. Gen. Rostam Qasemi, offered the help of experts from Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters to contain the oil spill.
Millions of gallons of oil have poured into the Gulf since an offshore BP rig exploded on April 20, Killing 11 workers. A newly revealed BP document indicates that around 100,000 barrels of oil per day are spewed out of the well into the gulf.[/quote]

I wish the US would stop being a dick and just accept the help.

No, America obviously can do this on their own because they are so big and strong. :downs:

I guess Superpowers can't take help from lower countries.
The US SHOULD accept help from countries that offer it, but Iran should not be one of them, IMO.
Iran has a lot to gain by putting their people that close to US shores. It's similar to the Cuban Missile Crisis...

Dear God, what did Glenn Beck do to you?
Iran has been actively developing nuclear and dirty bombs, and it would be much easier for them to get them on US shores and detonate them.
I suppose you think the Russians should have been allowed to keep their defensive nuclear missiles on Cuba for their safety?

Fuck that asshole Glenn Beck. If I wanted to watch grown men cry, I could turn Hell's Kitchen instead of him. At least then something would be getting produced.

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;22855869]I wish the US would stop being a dick and just accept the help.[/QUOTE]
Its a hard thing to do even with their help. We have no idea how to close the spill, and after that it would take months to clean up the Gulf after even if we had their help.
This is a classic case of Iran showing the public that they aren't a threat to expose the propoganda the US is creating.
Ridge, I doubt sending some people over will be dangerous to the US.
Cuba is different, it's a fucking island, there can be hundreds of bombs there. If Iran sends a group of people to help or whatever, the US will easily find out if they have anything dangerous.
I'm really starting to dislike the US more and more.

Iran has the supplies to produce nuclear weapons =/= Iran is actively producing nuclear weapons.

Why do they have them, then? Storing them for a rainy day?
Ridge is a fucking idiot. The Cuban missile crisis was about the USSR covertly placing nuclear missiles and aircraft in Cuba covertly.
What Iran is doing here is offering to send a ship or two full of workers. If you honestly thing they're going to reach the Gulf and make a sudden detour towards Miami where they will detonate the nuclear bombs in their hulls while screaming ALLAHU ACKBAR you're dumb. Really dumb.
And about those nukes you say they have:
"In March 2005, the New York Times reported that a bipartisan Congressional inquiry concluded that the United States had inadequate intelligence to reach any conclusions on the state of Iran's nuclear program.[362] In March 2009, the US Director of National Intelligence and Defense Intelligence Agency Director both testified before Congress that Iran did not have highly enriched uranium for bomb-making and had not made the decision to produce any, and also that Iran's missile program was not related to its nuclear program.[363]"

You mean nuclear fuel? The stuff used to fuel nuclear plants to create nuclear energy? Gee, I dunno, why would they want it?

Nuclear energy fuel is not the same as nuclear bomb fuel.
