Iran\u2019s permanent representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) issued a biting response to his Israeli counterpart\u2019s claim that Iran and Syria posed \u201csignificant proliferation threats\u201d to the Middle East and the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Iranian IAEA Ambassador Kazem Gharibabadi urged the international community to\u00a0pressure Israel to\u00a0sign onto\u00a0Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), saying that doing so would be the only way to\u00a0bring peace to\u00a0the Middle East.<\/p>\n

Speaking at\u00a0the 62nd Annual Session of\u00a0the ongoing IAEA General Conference in\u00a0Vienna, Gharibabadi\u00a0charged<\/a>\u00a0Israel with\u00a0threatening its neighbors, pointed to\u00a0its possession of\u00a0nuclear weapons, and chastised the IAEA for\u00a0giving in\u00a0to Israeli pressure and not following\u00a0up on\u00a0what he said were the country\u2019s \u201cdangerous\u201d nuclear activities.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Gharibabadi also pointed to\u00a0the Middle East Nuclear Weapon Freeze Zone idea, a UN project dating back to\u00a01970s aimed at\u00a0prohibiting nuclear weapons in\u00a0the region, and how this proposal too has suffered from\u00a0a \u201clack of\u00a0political will.\u201d\u00a0

Gharibabadi\u2019s remarks came on\u00a0the heels of\u00a0comments at\u00a0the conference by\u00a0Israel Atomic Energy Commission chairman Ze\u2019ev Snir, who also called on\u00a0the international community to\u00a0take action against\u00a0alleged Iranian and Syrian nuclear activities. The two countries, he said, \u201cpose significant proliferation threats to\u00a0the region and the world.\u201d Snir warned about\u00a0an \u201coutrageous…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
