Iran holds over nine tons of nuclear material outside of IAEA safeguard, atomic energy head says

At the IAEA's 70th general conference, Israel Atomic Energy Commission Director-General Moshe Edri accused Iran of possessing over nine tons of nuclear material outside of IAEA safeguards, including 440 kilograms of enriched uranium, which he stated is "equivalent to more than 10 nuclear devices." Edri asserted that Iran's regime "remains committed to expanding its missile and military nuclear capabilities" and is violating UN Security Council resolutions. He also highlighted Iran's threats against Israel, the US, and Gulf States, and its use of proxies like Hezbollah and Hamas. Last week, the IAEA board reported Iran to the UN Security Council for breaching non-proliferation obligations. Edri also called for the IAEA to cease its recurring agenda item on "Israeli Nuclear Capabilities," describing it as a political move outside the agency's mandate.
