The United States and Israel are spreading misinformation about Iran's atomic program as an excuse to attack, said Russian ambassador to the UN Vasily Nebenzia.
Speaking at the UN safety Council on Tuesday, the diplomat condemned attacks on Iranian atomic facilities as illegal under global law and said that "create a real threat” radioactive contamination.Nebenzia noted that the reports of the global Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) which conduct inspections in Iran service as evidence ‘no proliferation risk’."We want to stress that nowhere in the IAEA reports is there any mention that Iran is converting its atomic stock to unreported or military targets" “Nebenzia said.The IAEA found no evidence of Iran's improvement of atomic weapons.Therefore, all claims made by the Western delegation are lies addressed to recipients who either do not know the reports or do not have competence in this matter.Nebenzia described the attack on Iran as "another effort to legalize the usage of force outside the framework of the United Nations Charter".IAEA CEO Rafael Mariano Grossi told Sky News last week that there was no evidence of ‘any systematic effort’ Iran to manufacture atomic weapons.
However, he added that the agency has ‘elements of concern” in connection with Iran’s enrichment to 60%.During a press conference in fresh York City on Tuesday, Israeli envoy Danny Danon reiterated his government's position that Israeli attacks that began on June 13 were intended to prevent Iran from acquiring atomic weapons.Iran, who denies having a military atomic program, condemned the attack as an act of aggression and announced plans to limit cooperation with the IAEA.The ceasefire between Iran and Israel entered into force on Tuesday and has been respected so far.
