[Shireen Mazari @ShireenMazari1]

U targeted Iran's peaceful IAEA safeguarded nuclear prog despite Iran alsonbeinf a party to the NPT. Now you are applauding India's FBR programme which has no IAEA safeguards knowing FBRs allow excess fissile material production to be diverted for weapons production. So biased!
