IAEA turns blind eye to Israel nuclear arms


Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency Yukiya Amano



The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has failed to reflect international concerns about Israel’s nuclear arsenal.



In a meeting with Israeli President Shimon Peres on Monday, Director General of the IAEA Yukiya Amano said that Tel Aviv is a “valued partner” for the agency.


During the meeting, which was held at the headquarters of the United Nations nuclear agency in the Austrian capital Vienna, Amano said nothing about the illegal nuclear activities of the Tel Aviv regime.



The two sides then shifted the focus of their talk to Iran’s nuclear energy program with the Israeli president claiming, “The implementation of the agreements between the IAEA and Iran are advancing slowly.”



Iran and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council — China, Russia, Britain, France and the United States — plus Germany wrapped up their latest round of negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear energy program in Vienna on March 19, with both sides describing the negotiations as useful and constructive.


The remarks by Peres comes while the Tel Aviv regime, which is widely believed to be the only possessor of nuclear arms in the Middle East, reportedly maintains between 200 and 400 atomic warheads.


Furthermore, the Israeli regime has never allowed any inspection of its nuclear facilities and continues to defy international calls to join the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
