Saudi Arabia deeply concerned over Iran’s lack of transparency with the IAEA

Saudi Arabia is deeply concerned over Iran’s lack of transparency with the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency), according to Saudi Arabia’s new permanent representative to the United Nations, Abdulaziz Al-Wasil.

Al-Wasil said Iran’s lack of transparency with the IAEA and its non-compliance with obligations under international nuclear agreements constitute a threat to international peace and security.

Al-Wasil expressed his country, Saudi Arabia’s “deep concerns” over Iran’s nuclear deal, citing the recent International Atomic Energy Report which doubted the peaceful nature of Iran’s plans.

While attending the Tenth Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, he reportedly said, “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) supports all international efforts to prevent Iran from possessing nuclear weapons.”

The last review meeting took place in 2015.

Abdulaziz Al-Wasil

Abdulaziz Al-Wasil, vice president of the conference, said that Saudi Arabia ascribed great importance to the Non-Proliferation Treaty or NPT. He said that peaceful cooperation between nations can lead to prosperity and stability. Al-Wasil also voiced his appreciation for the IAEA and its director general for their efforts in monitoring Iran's 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, under which it curbed its nuclear program in return for economic sanctions relief.

Iran Nuclear deal

In 2015, the Iran Nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), was signed. However, former United States President Donald Trump pulled his country out of the deal in 2018, reimposing tough economic sanctions on Iran. In April 2021, the negotiations to revive the Iran nuclear deal started between the diplomats of Britain, China, France, Germany, Iran and Russia. In June 2021, the US, Britain, France and Germany submitted a motion to IAEA to censure Iran over its lack of cooperation with the agency to revive the 2015 nuclear deal.

Recently, Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani accused IAEA Chief Rafael Grossi of having “unprofessional views” on Iran's nuclear deal.

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed global warming was "boiling the oceans," has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees." Gore then not
