TEHRAN – Former British ambassador to Uzbekistan Craig Murray told Iran’s Al-Alam satellite television network earlier this week that Westerners have been applying double standards toward Iran’s nuclear program.

“The double standards are obvious in this regard. Israel has nuclear weapons, but London and Washington say nothing,” he told Al-Alam.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Foreign Secretary Jack Straw do not protest the fact that Israel, India, Pakistan, and other countries have nuclear weapons, he added.
