Zionist regime’s secret nuclear program poses serious threat to peace, security: Iran envoy

Iran’s permanent representative to the Vienna-based International Organizations Mohammad Reza Ghaebi said on Wednesday that the Israeli regime's secret nuclear program poses a serious and continuing threat to the regional peace and security.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Iran’s permanent representative to the Vienna-based International Organizations Mohammad Reza Ghaebi said on Wednesday that the Israeli regime's secret nuclear program poses a serious and continuing threat to the regional peace and security.

In reaction to the frivolous and fabricated claims made by the the Israeli regime's representative at a meeting of the IAEA Board of Governors on the issue of the implementation of agency safeguards in Iran and the threat of the availability of all options against Iran's peaceful nuclear program, Ghaebi recalled that the Zionist regime's secret nuclear program poses a serious and continuing threat to regional peace and security.

He noted that the international community has repeatedly stressed the necessity for the Zionist regime's joining the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and placing all its nuclear facilities under comprehensive IAEA safeguards through numerous resolutions and decisions. However, the Zionist regime not only did not join the NPT but continued to develop its military nuclear program.

Stressing that the Israeli regime's secret nuclear program is not controlled by any international organization, he highlighted that the Zionist regime uses the lack of such surveillance to develop and accumulate nuclear weapons and commits a variety of crimes in the international arena, including threats against NPT member-states and attacks on nuclear facilities dedicated to peaceful purposes.

While condemning such threats against NPT member-states like Iran, Ghaebi said that such threats against Iran are a clear violation of international law and the principles of the UN Charter.
