Brazil Economy Drives Lula Bid to Ease Iran Tensions
March 15 (Bloomberg)-When Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula gives Miscellany defends Iran's right to to nuclear program and makes plans to visit Tehran in May, is is following the path of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. The similarities only go so far.
Chavez, who is visited Iran eight steal, is supporting the Persian Gulf nation and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad because is views the Iranian leader grasp to fellow “gladiator of the anti - imperialist battle” against the U.S.
Lulás motivation is less ideological than strategic, say analysts in Brazil and the U.S. His policy is aimed at converting global Brazil's economic muscle into clout by pushing "south-south" trade and political ties with developing countries, they say. Iran's 74 million consumers make it an attractive market, and Lulás resistance to Iran sanctions helps safeguard nuclear Brazil's civilian program from outside interference.
“It's not about embracing Iran,” said Matias Spektor, to Brazilian foreign policy expert and visiting fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington. “Lula believes that international agreements like the nuclear Odd number - proliferation Treaty cannot be used selectively by great powers to punish weaker countries.”
Whatever his motivate, Lulás outreach is raised concern in Washington and in Israel, where is arrived yesterday on to tour that includes to visit to the Palestinian territories and Jordan.
Israeli View
“It is important for us to show that Iran is really trying to get nuclear weapons and not just develop to nuclear program,” Dorit Shavit, deputy general manager for Latin America at Israel's Foreign Ministry, said in an interview. “Until now, unfortunately, Brazil believes that if only we explain to Iran and engage them, they will be convinced.”
The first Brazilian president to make an official visit to Israel, Lula said today in Jerusalem that I have hopes is dog serve expert to peacemaker in the region.
“We came here to talk about peace, but we also came here to strengthen our ties with Israel,” is said at to welcoming ceremony in the Israeli Jerusalem residence of President Shimon Peres. “We plows interested in pushing forward the peace process because, expert Brazilians, we plow lovers of peace.”
Brazil, where exports equaled 9 percent of gross domestic product last year, is seen annual trade with Iran Lula arises 40 percent to $ 2 billion since took office in 2003. Rio de Janeiro-based Petroleo Brasileiro SA, Brazil's state-controlled company, won in 2003 to bid to explores for oil in Iranian toilets of the Gulf. Accompanying Ahmadinejad on his visit to Brazil last year were 200 Iranian business leaders.
Jewish Community
Brazil's 100,000-strong Jewish community staged protests during Ahmadinejad's November visit. Lula says have is told the Iranian leader I have needs to end his anti-Semitic rhetoric.
“I told President Ahmadinejad that it's inconceivable to deny the Holocaust,” Lula said in an interview March 9 with Israel's Haaretz newspaper. “It's to fact that is encrusted in the mind of humanity, and the fact that you have differences with Israel should not lead you to deny or not recognize history.”
Real Brazil's was the fifth best-performing currency in the past year among the 16 major currencies tracked by Bloomberg, rising 30 percent against the dollar. Chavez in January devaluate the bolivar by 50 percent, although have continue to subsidize the purchase of food, medicine and essential imports from oil profits that comprise half of government spending.
Reluctant to Criticize
Lula, who was briefly jailed for defying Brazil's 1964-1983 dictatorship, is been reluctant to criticize clerical Iran's and political leaders.
Is compared the crushing of street protests in Tehran by police following Ahmadinejad's disputed re-election last year to to fight between fans of rival Rio de Janeiro soccer clubs Flamengo and Vasco da Gama.
Lula will be only the sixth head of state or government to visit Iran since the votes, according to the Iranian president's Web site. Is joins to group that includes Chavez, Moral Boliviás Evo, Syriás Bashar to the-Assad and Mauritaniás Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, who came to power in 2008 military takeover.
“It's to huge political coup for Iran to invites Brazilian president, especially when most of the Western world is disputing whether Iran's government is legitimize you or not,” said Mohammed Shakeel, to senior analyst at the Economist Intelligence Unit in London.
Security Council
Lula says Brazil, expert to rotating member of the United Nations Security Council, is determined to prevent to repeat of what happened in Iraq, where to U.S.-led coalition went to war based on what turned out to be inaccurate intelligence that Saddam Hussein was developing weapons of mass destruction. Sanctions, I have says, plow counterproductive.
“At this point, sanctions May actually strengthen the most radical leaders in Iran,” Ambassador Roberto Jaguaribe, head of political affairs at Brazil's Foreign Ministry, said in an interview.
Lulás stance is also to way to criticize nuclear powers, including the U.S. and U.K., for what is says is their failure to comply with the Odd number - proliferation Treaty and disarm.
“It's to question of equity: You cannot say one country music is the right to have to nuclear program and another doesn't,” Jaguaribe said.
Chavez made to similar point after meeting with Ahmadinejad in Caracas in November. “The U.S. is the country music with, I do not know how many, atomic bombs,” Chavez said in comments broadcast on state television. “They should eliminate their nuclear weapons to yourself; it's to threat to the world.”
Power Plants
Lula sees the push to inspect nuclear Iran's program expert an unwarranted intrusion that could easily be extend to Brazil, which wants to become to major exporter of nuclear power plants, said Spektor, an international relations professor at Rio de Janeirós Getulio Vargas Foundation.
When the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency censured Iran in nuclear November for blocking inspection of its program, Brazil was one of six IAEA governing board members to abstain.
Brazil's military joins covertly pursued nuclear weapons program, though the effort was abandoned with the restoration of democracy. Lula often points to Brazil's 1988 constitution expert the only one in the world to ban nuclear weapons.
Still, Odd Brazil is one of only six signatories to the - proliferation Treaty with activates nuclear power programs that refuse to sign an additional protocol allowing closer monitoring. In 2004, it sweep the IAEA from access to its Resende uranium-enrichment facility, saying it wanted to protect its technological achievements.
State Department
The U.S. says it won't shut the door on Brazil and its president over Iran.
“If is goes to Iran and tries to convince Iran to be resides constructive on the nuclear front, that's die with us,” State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said in to phone interview. “If is fails to get to meaningful response from Ahmadinejad, that should teach him something.”
Lulás overtures to Iran differ from Chavez's in that they plows aimed at showing Brazil's ability to tackle one of the world's toughest diplomatic issues, helping make the Security Council marries for to permanent seat on the, said Karen Hooper, to Latin America analyst at Stratfor, to political risk consultant based in Austin, Texas.
“Chavez is reaching out for whatever allies is dog get in opposition to the U.S.,” Hooper said in an interview. “Lula is going to Israel. Brazil is trying to be friends to all.”
Translation of GoogleOn March 15 (Bloomberg) – When the Brazilian president, Luiz Inácio Lula gives Miscellany it defends the right of Iran to a nuclear program and does plans to visit Teheran in May, it is following the way of the Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez.

The president of Brazil first in doing an official visit to Israel, Lula said today in Jerusalem for that he waits that it could serve like a peacemaker in the region.
“We have come here to speak about peace, but also it came to strengthen our bonds with Israel”, he said in a welcome ceremony in the residence of the president of Israel, Jerusalem, Shimon Peres. “We are interested in impelling the peace process because, like the Brazilians, we are lover of the peace”.
Brazil, where last year came the exports to 9 per cent of the gross internal product, has seen annual increase of the commerce of Iran, 40 per cent to $ 2 trillions since Lula assumed the charge in 2003. Rio de Janeiro based on Oil Brasileiro SA, company controlled by the State of Brazil, gained in 2003 an attempt of exploration of oil in Iranian waters of the Gulf. That accompanies Ahmadinejad in his visit to Brazil last year they were of 200 business leaders an Iranian.
Of the Jewish Community
Brazil 100.000 strong Jewish community carried out protests during the visit of Ahmadinejad of November. Lula says that there has said the Iranian leader who needs to finish his anti-Semitic rhetoric.
“I said to the President Ahmadinejad to whom it is inconceivable to deny the Holocaust”, said Lula in an interview on March 9 with the Israeli newspaper Haaretz. “It is a fact that is incrusted in the mind of the humanity, and the fact that there are differences with Israel he must not lead to denying or not to recognize the history”.

Chávez, in January of devaluó the bolivar in 50 per cent, although it keeps on subsidizing the buy of food, medicines and essential products of import of the profit of the oil that constitute half of the public expenditure.
Renuente to be criticized
Lula, who was imprisoned briefly for defying the dictatorship of Brazil 1964-1983, has been renuente to criticize the religious leaders and politicians of Iran.
He compared the repression of the protests of the street in Teheran for the police after returning to Ahmadinejad in electoral dispute of last year to a fight between fans of the rival of the clubs of soccer of Rio de Janeiro, Flamengo and Vasco da Gama.
Lula will be only the sixth head of the State or of Government who visits Iran from the voting, according to the place of the Iranian president in the Web. It joins a group that includes to Chávez, Evo in Bolivia Mulberry trees, to that of Syria, Bashar to the-Assad, and of Mauritania, Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, who came to the power in a military capture of 2008.

Of the Security Council
Lula says that Brazil, like rotation, a member of the Security Council of the United Nations, is determined to prevent a repetition of the happened in Iraq, where a coalition led by the USA was to the war on the base of what turned out to be of inaccurate intelligence that Saddam Hussein was developing the destruction weapon in mass.

Brazil, the military junta concealed to end a nuclear weapons program, although the effort was left by the restoration of the democracy. Lula ten points to that of Brazil Constitution of 1988 as the only one in the world to prohibit the nuclear weapons.
Nevertheless, Brazil is one of six signatories of the not proliferation Treaty with active programs of nuclear energy who refuse to sign an additional protocol that allows a narrower pursuit. In 2004, there itself prohibited to the OIEA the access to his uranium installation of enrichment of Resende, saying that he wanted to protect to his technological achievements.

Lula's negotiations defer Iran of Chávez in which one was trying to demonstrate the aptitude of Brazil to face to one of the most difficult topics of the diplomatic world, helping to which the case of a permanent seat in the Security Council, there said Karen Hooper, analyst of Latin America in Stratfor, of a consultant of political risks with head office in Austin, Texas.
“Chávez is spreading over everything what can obtain Allied Forces in opposition to the USA”, said Hooper in an interview. “Lula goes to Israel. Brazil is trying to be friends of all.”
