In a rare gathering of Mideast regional adversaries , Iran, Israel and Arab states took part in a meeting two weeks ago on October 21-22 in the Swiss village of Glion near Montreux about prospects for an international conference on banning nuclear weapons in the Middle East.

The discussions were also attended by representatives of the United States and some Arab states, the diplomat added, without naming them. There were 13-14 delegations around the table and Finnish Foreign Ministry Under-Secretary of State Jaakko Laajava, who is charged with organizing the Middle East conference, was among the participants.

They kept the meeting very secret matter and also gave no details about the meeting.

However, it is quite clear that they decided nothing about WMD that Israel has acquired  illegally form unstated sources.

Israel is widely believed to possess the Middle East's only nuclear arsenal, drawing frequent condemnation by Arab countries and Iran, which say it threatens peace and security. USA shields both Israeli nukes and the crimes by the Zionist military-police in Palestine territories.  An Israeli official said various envoys set out their national positions but Israel had no direct communication with Iranian and Arab delegates.

For Arab diplomats, that the Israelis and Iran were there, is indeed the main thing.

The discussions were "quite constructive," the diplomats said, adding that another meeting was likely later this month, although it was still unclear exactly who would attend.

But in order to divert world  and IAEA attention from  Israeli illegal nukes, the USA and Israeli officials see Iran's atomic activity as the main proliferation threat and say a nuclear arms-free zone in the Middle East is not feasible without a broad Arab-Israeli peace and verifiable limits on the Iranian nuclear program.

Israel is trying to use all available issues to escape criticism and punishment for its crimes,  has warned against what it calls an Iranian "charm offensive" and accuses Tehran of diplomatic stalling while it builds up the capability to produce nuclear weaponry. The Israeli official, speaking in Jerusalem, described the October 21-22 meeting as a "preparatory session, of sorts", ahead of the planned Middle East conference. "There were no contacts between our representative and Arab or Iranian representatives, not direct nor indirect. The meeting was mainly technical," the Israeli official said.

While, nuclear powers like USA-Israel fascist twins oppose Iranian nukes, Iran says it is enriching uranium only for civilian energy, not for potential nuclear weapons fuel as the West suspects. The June election of Hassan Rouhani, a pragmatist and top nuclear specialist  who has pledged to try to resolve the decade-old dispute over Tehran's atomic activities, as new Iranian president has raised hopes of a peaceful settlement with world powers.

A plan for an international conference to lay the groundwork for a Middle East free of weapons of mass destruction was agreed in 2010, co-sponsored by Russia, the United States and Britain. But Washington, not allowing the Kremlin to take initiate and take all credits,  said the conference would be delayed just before it was due to be held in late 2012, and no new date has been announced. Iran and the United States, France, Britain, Germany, China and Russia are to hold a new round of negotiations in Geneva on Thursday and Friday.

But nothing is clear as of now. Israel is eager to retain the nukes it obtained illegally while USA and Russia never wanting to dismantle their nuke arsenals, notwithstanding their regular summits and policy rhetoric. .

As it stands, only weak nations that do not promote US imperialism should not have nukes while, strong nations that stand behind US-Israeli crimes can have that reserved right.

The issue is whether Israel will retain the WMD forever or USA will take them back!

That a meeting to debate Israeli nukes and to keep Mideast free  of WMD itself is significant.
