The Iranian ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has described the Israeli regime�s nuclear weapons program as a source of concern among Middle East states, and a serious and continued threat to the regional and international peace and security.

Addressing the 60th�Annual Regular Session of the�IAEA General Conference in the Austrian capital city of Vienna on Thursday evening, Reza Najafi stated that Israel�s policy of nuclear ambiguity regarding its nuclear weapons program poses serious threats to the international peace and security, calling for the�IAEA inspection�of�the regime's secret�nuclear sites.

Najafi further criticized some world powers for their unconditional support for and technical nuclear�cooperation with�Israel in violation of internal law and regulations.

The Iranian ambassador to the UN nuclear agency also called for an�end to the double standards practiced�by the countries that assist Israel with its nuclear program.

Israel, which has refused to sign the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)�or allow inspections of its military nuclear facilities,�keeps an estimated stockpile of�some 200-400 nuclear warheads.

According to former�US Secretary of State Colin Powell's emails leaked earlier this month, Israel has 200 nuclear weapons �targeted on Tehran.�

The�60th regular session�of the IAEA General Conference started in Vienna�on September 26, and will run until September 30.

Senior officials and representatives of IAEA member states are considering a range of issues, including its�program and budget.

A scientific forum on�nuclear technology was held between September 28 and 29�in conjunction with the conference.
