(
help)Citing from current version article: "Despite Iran's huge oil and gas reserves, those sectors have been relatively neglected in favor of a nuclear energy program which has cost billions of dollars and has been condemned by most of the world, including Israel and the United States, who claim that the program is a cover up for a much larger nuclear weapons program."
Most of the world supports Iran's legal right to a civilian nuclear program, as it is a signee of the Non-Proliferation Nuclear Treaty.
The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), which alone comprises most of the world's countries with its 120 member states, unanimously supports Iran's right to a civilian nuclear program. So, most of the world in-fact supports Iran in this matter.
I will not, for now, make an edit myself - it would not be useful to make an edit only to have that removed by the people who may disagree and simply remove or alter it without notification.
Here is a source: http://www.presstv.com/detail/2013/09/12/323476/nam-supports-iraniaea-talks/
I can attempt to find a primary source if desired.

There is no such criteria. There's also no "WIKI:POV". I think you mean WP:NPOV. There's nothing in there about "alternative POV". Neutral POV does not mean including nonsense crap from junk sources in every article. We don't put in "the Earth is flat" in the article Earth in order to include "alternative POV".
Quite simply these sources are not reliable. End of story. Volunteer Marek ( talk) 06:01, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
Ok, look, this is straight up POV pushing and the sources are not reliable. Phrasing such as "Western corporate media has been generally criticized for working to provoke the protests" or "Indeed, despite initial denials by US officials..." are textbook examples of POV pushing.
voltairenet.org is a conspiracy website with anti-semitic overtones. World Socialist Website, is also not a reliable source.
aljazeera and BBC are fine but the statement they source is a "response" or commentary on the ridiculous POV statements earlier in the paragraph. Hence once we remove the junk, there's no reason for these to be in there either.
This is just violation of Wikipedia policy. Please do not restore this material. Volunteer Marek ( talk) 06:17, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
Neither Voltaire nor WWS nor petras (whoever that is) nor the other source are reliable. Note that Meyssan's book has an entry in the article 9/11 conspiracy theories, and NOT in the article on 9/11 itself. It does represent fringe POV. And no it shouldn't be included, any more then Mayssan's view's should be included "for balance" on the 9/11 article. You are misunderstanding what NPOV means.
