Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has called for international help to stop Iran completing its nuclear program, after the publication of a damning report.
Speaking at a press conference last week in Berlin, Germany, Saar urged for action after the International Atomic Energy Agency detailed how Iran has been carrying out nuclear tests in secret, despite warnings not to from countries around the globe.
The paper, published on Saturday, shows that Iran’s uranium levels are now at 90% of those needed for weapons grade, and if it keeps growing at the rate it currently is, will soon be enough for nine nuclear bombs.
Additionally, investigators at the IAEA found that at three out of four sites inspected, secret tests had been carried out.
Saar’s comments echo that of a statement put out by Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this weekend, where he said: “The international community must act now to stop Iran,” adding that Iran’s uranium levels “exist only in countries actively pursuing nuclear weapons and has no civilian justification whatsoever.”
