Iranian Envoy: “Israel” Only Obstacle to Nuclear-Free Middle East
Local Editor
Iranian Ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency [IAEA] Reza Najafi warned the international community against the major threat posed by "Israel's" nuclear arsenals to global peace and security, as he said during a meeting of the committee of the Non-Proliferation Treaty in the US reported by IRNA on Thursday.
Najafi made the remarks during a third meeting of the preliminary committee of the Non-Proliferation Treaty [NPT] in New York, saying that, "The only reason that international efforts have, over the past few decades, failed to help create a Middle East free of nuclear weapons is the ‘Israeli' regime's nuclear arms and its activities outside the framework of the IAEA Safeguards Agreement."
The UN General Assembly approved a draft resolution proposed by Iran on nuclear disarmament in October 2009, while "Israel" has opposed the inclusion of holding a conference on the establishment of a Middle-East free of nuclear weapons in the final document of the UN Disarmament Commission [UNDC[ meeting.
The "Israeli" regime, which rejects all regulatory international nuclear agreements, refuses to allow its nuclear facilities to come under international regulatory inspections.
