Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has admitted to the inefficacy of the US-engineered sanctions against Iran, saying the measures have no effect on the Islamic Republic\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s nuclear energy program.\n<\/p>\n
Prior to a meeting with British Foreign Minister William Hague in Al-Quds (Jerusalem) on Thursday, Netanyahu said “it’s clear” that economic and diplomatic pressures have been unable to affect Iran’s nuclear program.\n<\/p>\n
The United States, the Israeli regime and some of their allies have repeatedly accused Iran of pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear energy program, with Tel Aviv repeatedly threatening to attack Tehran\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s nuclear facilities.\n<\/p>\n
Over the false allegation, Washington and the European Union have also imposed a series of illegal unilateral sanctions against the Islamic Republic.\n<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, the US House Committee on Foreign Affairs adopted a new measure to tighten the country\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s illegal sanctions against Iran.\n<\/p>\n
Tehran rejects the allegations against its nuclear energy program, arguing that as a committed signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency, it has the right to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.\n<\/p>\n
In addition, the IAEA has conducted numerous inspections of Iran’s nuclear facilities but has never found any evidence showing that Iran’s civilian nuclear program has been diverted toward military purposes.\n<\/p>\n
