The IAEA's recent resolution regarding Iran's nuclear programme escalated tensions, coinciding with Israel's unprecedented strike on Iran’s military sites. While the IAEA stated Iran was not complying with nuclear safeguards, Israel's foreign ministry praised the resolution as confirmation of Iran's covert nuclear ambitions. Conversely, Iran condemned the IAEA's move as politically motivated, reiterating its nuclear intentions are peaceful and fall under the Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement. However, the IAEA's Director-General indicated significant compliance issues, restricting their ability to fully verify the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear activities.
Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs welcomed the IAEA resolution, calling it a necessary and overdue step that confirmed Iran's systematic clandestine nuclear weapons programme.
Iran insists its nuclear programme is for civilian purposes, with ongoing compliance with the Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement despite halting the Additional Protocol.
