Iran holds over nine tons of nuclear material outside of IAEA safeguard, atomic energy head says
The material includes 440 kilograms of enriched uranium, "equivalent to more than 10 nuclear devices," noted Israel Atomic Energy Commission Director-General Moshe Edri.
Iran is holding over nine tons of nuclear material outside of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards, according to Israel Atomic Energy Commission Director-General Moshe Edri. During the agency's 70th general conference, Edri accused Iran's regime of continuing to expand its missile and military nuclear capabilities, in direct violation of UN Security Council resolutions.
The regime has also been rebuilding its missile production infrastructure and fortifying its nuclear program, he said. Edri highlighted Iran's threats against Israel, the US, and Gulf States, as well as its use of drones against civil nuclear power plants and proxies such as Hezbollah and Hamas. The IAEA's board recently passed a resolution reporting Iran to the UN Security Council for breaching its non-proliferation obligations for the first time in 20 years.
