00:00Moshe Edri, the Israeli Director-General of Atomic Energy Commission, IEC, has told international
00:07community at Vienna that Iran is the main source of regional instability and the country poses
00:13threat to peace and security worldwide. Moshe stated this on Tuesday while making his presentation
00:19at the 60th International Atomic Energy Agency IAEA General Conference that began on September 16,
00:272024 in Vienna. Details of Moshe's statement, as reported by the Office of the Prime Minister of
00:34Israel, reads below verbatim. Atomic Energy Commission, IEC, Director-General Moshe Edri,
00:42this morning addressed the 60th International Atomic Energy IAEA General Conference in Vienna
00:50and commented on the regional challenges facing the State of Israel, especially Iran and Syria,
00:56which are not honoring their international commitments in this field. He also noted the
01:02cooperation between Israel and the IAEA in security and nuclear safety, among other fields.
01:08Following excerpts from Director Edri's remarks, Iran continues to be the main source of regional
01:15instability and poses a threat to peace and security worldwide. This reality requires
01:21the full attention of the international community now more than ever before. There is no doubt that
01:28Iran conducted a military nuclear program aimed to produce several nuclear weapon devices.
01:34Iran continues to advance this program by gaining relevant technology and knowledge,
01:39along with fissile material in alarming amounts. Iran has been conducting covert nuclear activities
01:46in undeclared sites for many years. The Agency has found concrete evidence of these activities,
01:53including the use of undeclared nuclear material and equipment. Despite repeated resolutions by
02:00the Board of Governors, Iran has continuously failed to provide technically credible explanations
02:06regarding these activities and continues to deceive the Agency and the international community.
02:12Moreover, Iran continues to develop, test and deploy long-range ballistic missiles
02:19and supports terrorist organizations throughout the Middle East, including the Houthi terrorist
02:24group that is a significant security threat to the freedom of navigation and to the global trade
02:30routes. A nuclear-armed Iran, equipped with delivery systems, is not an option that Israel
02:37or the world can or should tolerate. He added, as the Director General of the Israel Atomic Energy
02:45Commission, our national task is to guarantee the safety and security of our nuclear facilities that
02:50are openly targeted by Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran, even more so since October 7. Israel continues to
02:58demonstrate its responsible behavior in this regard and continues to take all necessary
03:04precautions to ensure that these facilities are operated according to the highest international
03:09safety and security standards to withstand these threats as required. This year's conference is
03:16being held from the 16th to the 20th of September. IED Director General Edry is chairing Israel's
03:23delegation, which is composed of AEC and Foreign Affairs Ministry representatives.
