Israeli PM confirms WSJ report of Iran stealing classified IAEA documents

Proving the veracity of the Wall Street Journal’s report of how Iran fooled UN inspectors by using secretly stolen IAEA documents to hide their nuclear weapons program, Israeli PM Bennett shared a link to a Google Drive that includes the stolen IAEA files, obtained a few years back in a Mossad operation.

By LAHAV HARKOV

 

Iran used stolen documents to deceive the International Atomic Energy Agency, and continues lying to the world, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett warned on Tuesday, ahead of the UN atomic agency’s board meeting next week.

IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi released a report to the agency’s Board of Governors a day to earlier estimating that Iran had enough enriched uranium for a nuclear weapon, 18 times more than the 2015 deal with world powers permitted. Continue Reading »

The International Atomic Energy Agency recognizes the ‘State of Palestine’

Since the Palestinian Authority has no nuclear reactors nor does the PA have sovereignty as an independent state, the absurdity of the recognition makes a mockery of the international organization.
– Emmanuel Nahshon, Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman said the agreement was a “violation of international conventions.”

By YOSSI MELMAN/MAARIV, JERUSALEM POST STAFF

 

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) signed an agreement to recognize Palestine, as a state as it joined the international body as a observer on Tuesday. While it is not a member, it can attend meetings as an observer, an IAEA spokesperson said.

The agreement, which was signed by the agency’s director general Yukiya Amano and the Palestinian Ambassador in Vienna Salah Abdul Shafi, gives the IAEA inspectors the ability to check the safety of radioactive materials and fissile nuclear materials, such as uranium. Continue Reading »

IAEA rejects resolution to impose oversight over Israel’s nuclear facility

 

After the IAEA vote, PM Netanyahu said he had called 30 world leaders & convinced them to reject the Egyptian proposal considering the turmoil brewing in the Mideast, especially with Teheran’s efforts to obtain nuclear weapons.

By HERB KEINON

 

In a move hailed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahuas a “great” diplomatic victory, the International Atomic Energy Agency handily voted down an Egyptian resolution on Thursday to force Israel to open its nuclear facilities to international inspectors.

The resolution also wanted the International Atomic Energy Agency’s member states to express concern over Israel’s nuclear capabilities, and call on it to join the 1970 nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Continue Reading »

Israeli Minister Sarcastically Lauds World’s ‘Brilliance’ – But White House is Serious

 

 

Israel’s previous Intelligence Minister calls the IAEA agreement ‘innovative’ and ‘outside-the-box’, allowing Iran to self-inspect its own nuclear facilities.

By Israel Today Staff

 

Israeli National Infrastructures Minister Yuval Steinitz on Wednesday congratulated the international community on its “innovative and out-of-the-box thinking” in permitting Iran to self-inspect its own nuclear

Israeli National Infrastructures Minister Yuval Steinitz

“One can only wonder if the Iranian inspectors will also have to wait 24 days before being able to visit the site and look for incriminating evidence?” Steinitz added.

The facetious remarks came in response to news that the UN watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), had reached what many saw as a face-saving arrangement with Iran whereby the latter will provide its own experts to inspect sites like Parchin, a sprawling and particularly sensitive nuclear facility near Tehran.
