The anti-Iran allegations made by the IAEA are designed to rationalize the unilateral actions of Washington and Tel Aviv against the Islamic Republic, says a commentator.

Iran and the IAEA are currently in a dispute triggered by the agency’s Israeli-influenced accusations.

A political analyst describes the UN nuclear agency as a primary “instrument of pre-aggression” which paves the way for Israel and the US to take unilateral actions.

Political analyst John Bosnitch says IAEA ‘mistreatment’ of Iran sets the scene for imposing further sanctions and justifies US’s violation of the JCPOA.

The United Nations' nuclear watchdog says its experts have started inspections at two sites in Ukraine to investigate Russian claims that Kiev plans to set off radioactive "dirty bombs" in the country.

Leaders of the US, the UK and Australia say they have made "significant progress" towards Canberra acquiring a nuclear-powered submarine.

Iran's UN envoy has expressed concern over the lack of progress in the implementation of the 1995 Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty resolution, saying the Israeli regime must eliminate its stockpile of nuclear weapons.
