Israel urges global response to Iran’s nuclear non-compliance

Israel called on the international community Thursday to “respond decisively” after the IAEA formally declared Iran in breach of its nuclear safeguards obligations for the first time in nearly two decades.

“Iran has consistently obstructed IAEA’s verification and monitoring, it removed inspectors, and it sanitised and concealed suspected undeclared locations in Iran,” Israel’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement posted on X.

“These actions undermine the global non-proliferation regime and pose an imminent threat to regional and international security and stability,” it added, urging coordinated international pressure to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
