Netanyahu: "Israel will do whatever it takes to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons"
Despite the violations in the nuclear program: the IAEA closed two investigations against Iran
Gallant in a message to Iran: "We may have to fulfill our duty in order to protect the country"
As mentioned, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement regarding the closure of the Marivan case by the International Atomic Energy Agency and called it "a very disturbing matter". "The explanations provided by Iran for the presence of nuclear material at the site are not reliable or technically possible," the Foreign Ministry remarked, "Iran continues to lie to the IAEA and deceive the international community."
"The surrender of the Director General of the IAEA and the International Atomic Energy Agency to Iranian political pressure is very disappointing, mainly because the information in the file implicitly points both ways to blatant Iranian violations of the inspection agreements," they added.
In conclusion, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that "closing the file could have extremely dangerous consequences – and it conveys a message to the Iranians that they are not required to pay a price for their violations, and that they can continue to deceive the international community on their way to achieving a full military nuclear program. In addition, closing the file in this way seriously harms in the professional credibility of the IAEA".
