The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on the global community to take action to stop Iran from building its nuclear program after the latest report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) showed Tehran is continuing to enrich uranium.
"The report strongly reinforces what Israel has been saying for years - the purpose of Iran's nuclear program is not peaceful. This is evident from the alarming scope of Iran's uranium enrichment activity. Such a level of enrichment exists only in countries actively pursuing nuclear weapons and has no civilian justification whatsoever," Netanyahu's office stated. "The international community must act now to stop Iran," it added.
The IAEA report said that Iran increased its stockpile of 60%-enriched uranium by about 50% since early February to 408.6 kilograms, but Tehran has insisted it is not interested in acquiring a nuclear weapon.
