(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff - Iran is conducting a military nuclear program, Israel Atomic Energy Commission Director-General Moshe Edri told the International Atomic Energy Agency's General Conference in Vienna on Tuesday. "There is no doubt that Iran conducted a military nuclear program aimed at producing several nuclear weapon devices. Iran continues to advance this program by gaining relevant technology and knowledge, along with fissile material in alarming amounts." "Iran has been conducting covert nuclear activities in undeclared sites for many years. The Agency has found concrete evidence of these activities, including the use of undeclared material." The Islamic Republic has "continuously failed to provide credible explanations or clarifications regarding the nature of these activities, and continues to deceive the Agency and the international community." "Iran continues to develop, test and deploy long-range ballistic missiles, in direct violation of UN Security Council resolutions." The expiration in October of UNSC Resolution 2231 would allow "Iran to continue to advance its ballistic missile program without any formal limitations. This situation is dangerous and troubling. Iran, equipped with nuclear weapons and delivery systems, is not an option that Israel, or the world, can or should tolerate."
