RECENT NEWS Blix said he assumed it was because they don't want to take the blame for a new war in the region. "An armed action against Iran cannot happen after this for the next few years," said Blix, who chairs Sweden's Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission. The veteran Swedish diplomat tried to avert the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq because no weapons of mass destruction were found by UN inspectors. He said the U.S. intelligence report released Monday caught him off guard.
"I was surprised," Blix told reporters. "For a rather long time we had heard very assured statements from the U.S. side that Iran is acquiring nuclear weapons."

The United Kingdom has decided to continue its nuclear submarine program. The United States proposes to develop a new standard nuclear weapon and is expanding its missile shield. China is modernising its armed forces and has shot down a weather satellite of its own, demonstrating a capability for military action in space. Russia has resumed routine long-distance flights with nuclear-armed planes. Iran is developing a uranium enrichment capability that could be used to produce material for nuclear weapons. Non-state actors are planning for further terrorism.
October 27, 2007 Hans Blix reiterated that US has no document to prove Iran's nuclear program is anything but peaceful. Pointing to the recent agreement between the IAEA and Iran on the continuation of cooperation, he added, "This agreement has annoyed the US and its allies because it questions their allegations against Iran." "Iran has an inalienable right to enjoy peaceful nuclear technology. Based on international rules and regulations, Iran has the right to enrich uranium to supply fuel for its nuclear power plants," Blix said. The former chief UN weapons inspector also challenged US President George Bush's assertion that Iran poses a nuclear threat and the world should take pre-emptive action. Blix currently is the executive chair of the Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission.

November 17 2006 "Venezuela is far, very far away from the ability to develop weapons." "Two things are needed to develop nuclear weapons: infrastructure and technology," Blix commented during a visit to Brazil, AP reported. "In the case of Sweden, we have the infrastructure, but not willingness. In the case of Venezuela, they can have willingness, but not infrastructure," Blix told reporters at the Swedish Embassy in Brasilia. October 26 2006 Iraq better off under Saddam, says Blix Blix comments to Danish newspaper Politiken that "Iraq is a pure failure. If the Americans pull out, there is a risk that they will leave a country in civil war. At the same time, it doesn't seem that the United States can help to stabilise the situation by staying there." October 12 2006 I've added two short clips of Hans Blix from Youtube to the media page. On one he referrs to his cameo in Team America: World Police.
