Iran warns against Israel`s nuke capabilities for world peace

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Vienna, Sept 24, IRNA -- Iran`s representative at International 
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Pirouz Hosseini here on Friday warned the 
global community against Israel`s nuclear threat against Middle East 
and world peace and security. 
Addressing the 48th session of the IAEA`s General Assembly in 
Vienna, he stressed, "Iran has always supported the idea of 
establishing a nuclear free Middle East, but materializing such an 
idea has always had a serious obstacle, namely Israel with its scores 
of nuclear warheads." 
Hosseini emphasized that Israel`s nuclear facilities which are not
under IAEA`s safeguards, or even supervision, are a serious threat 
against world peace and stability and therefore, the international 
community should adopt serious measures on the matter immediately. 
He asked the global community to impose serious pressure against 
the usurper Israeli regime to force it to put its nuclear facilities 
under the UN nuclear watchdog`s safeguards and close watch, and to 
join to the NPT without delay, if the IAEA truly cares about the 
world peace and stability. 
IAEA `s general conference, held once a year, wound up its 
activities on Friday after discussions on general subjects related to 
nuclear power, and topmost important international issues. 
In the meeting, IAEA asked all its member countries that have not 
still signed the nuclear-Non-Proliferation Treaty`s (NPT`s) 
additional protocol not only to join it, but also to try to fully 
implement all its articles, as well as the NPT articles.
