Israeli Atomic Commissioner: The World Must Not Allow a Nuclear-armed Iran

by Karen Faulkner, Worthy News Correspondent

(Worthy News) – Emphasizing that Iran is the primary source of conflict in the Middle East, Israel’s chief atomic energy commissioner warned this week that Israel cannot “tolerate” a nuclear-armed Iranian Islamic regime, Ynet News reports.

In an address to the 68th General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna, Austria on Tuesday, Israel’s Atomic Energy Commission Director-General Moshe Edri said: ” A nuclear-armed Iran, equipped with delivery systems, is not an option that Israel, or the world, can, or should tolerate. Iran continues to be the main source of regional instability and poses a threat to peace and security worldwide.”

“Iran has been conducting covert nuclear activities in undeclared sites for many years. The Agency has found concrete evidence of these activities, including the use of undeclared nuclear material and equipment,” Edri explained.

Reminding the IAEA assembly that the international community has been unable to hold Iran accountable, Edri said: “Despite repeated resolutions by the Board of Governors, Iran has continuously failed to provide technically credible explanations regarding these activities and continues to deceive the Agency and the international community.”

“As the Director General of the Israel Atomic Energy Commission, our national task is to guarantee the safety and security of our nuclear facilities that are openly targeted by Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran, even more so since October 7th. Israel continues to demonstrate its responsible behavior in this regard, and continues to take all necessary precautions to ensure that these facilities are operated according to the highest international safety and security standards to withstand these threats as required,” Edri concluded.
