According to a statement from the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the IAEA Board of Governors concluded with overwhelming international support (19 in favor, 3 against) that Iran is not complying with its safeguards obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

The statement said: "Iran has launched a systematic secret nuclear weapons program. It is rapidly accumulating highly enriched uranium, clearly demonstrating that the nature of the program is not peaceful. Iran has consistently obstructed IAEA verification and monitoring, dismissed inspectors, and sanitized and concealed undeclared suspicious sites in Iran. These actions undermine the global non-proliferation regime and pose an imminent threat to regional and international security and stability."

The statement added: "The international community must respond firmly to Iran's non-compliance and take measures to prevent it from developing nuclear weapons."
