Israeli official says ‘decisive moments’ on Iran closer after IAEA shuts nuclear probes
(Worthy News) – The renewed momentum toward a nuclear deal with Iran alongside new information on the scope of its enrichment and the decision by the international atomic watchdog to shut two outstanding investigations have had Israeli decision-makers on edge.
An Israeli diplomatic official told Israel Hayom that Israel was “moving closer to the decisive moments in the face of the nuclear threat posed by Iran; we will not let Iran have a nuclear weapon.” The source made this comment after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reacted to the International Atomic Energy Agency report on the status of Tehran’s nuclear program and the state of the investigations: “I have a clear message to Iran and the international community: Israel will do everything it needs to do in order to deny Iran a nuclear weapon.”
Earlier on Thursday the Israeli Foreign Ministry slammed the IAEA for its decision to end the probe into two cases of undeclared nuclear activity, which have been a sticking point between Iran and the West on reviving the 2015 nuclear deal. [ Source: Israel Hayom (Read More…) ]
