Israel on Offensive Against IAEA Over Iran
As a possible foreshadowing to the contents of the IAEA’s upcoming report on Iran, this article points to Israel’s response. Israel is reportedly going on the offensive, accusing the IAEA of “playing the Iranians’ game.”
The campaign comes with the International Atomic Energy Agency poised to publish a new report on Iran’s nuclear ambitions, to serve as a key part of further discussions at the United Nations on whether to impose a third round of sanctions on Tehran.
“Unfortunately there are foreign officials playing the Iranians’ game by contributing to the Iranian strategy of foot-dragging,” Israeli foreign ministry spokesman Mark Regev told AFP.
“From this point of view the International (Atomic Energy) Agency and its leadership are guilty,” Regev added.
