U.S. officials and the U.S. media increased their pressure on the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in recent days in order to influence its report on Iran's nuclear program, which is due out later today.

The June 12 edition of the ***Los Angeles Times*** reported that the United States had urged the IAEA to cite Iran for violations of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) in its upcoming report.

However, the agency has time and again stressed the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program. It should be noted that the Iranian nuclear programs are under the supervision of IAEA experts.

IAEA inspectors have visited Iranian nuclear sites in recent weeks. The U.S. has not been able to produce any documented evidence to back up its claims about Iran's nuclear program. The IAEA director has also criticized the U.S. for its baseless accusations against Iran.

White House officials attacked Iraq under the pretext of destroying Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. Yet, over two months into the occupation of Iraq, no weapons of mass destruction have been discovered in that country.

Since the very beginning of the crisis, the entire international community was aware of the fact that the existence of WMD in that country was just a pretext for the U.S. campaign against Iraq, and this was the main reason for the widespread international opposition to the warmongering policy of the United States.

The U.S. disinformation campaign about the Iranian nuclear program is primarily meant to divert attention from the debacle of the missing Iraqi WMD and secondarily to sabotage relations between Iran and the European Union.

However, it seems that those seeking to hinder Iran's economic growth and development by denying it the right to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes have failed for the time being, since world public opinion has not been swayed by the U.S. propaganda.
