TEHRAN (Iran News) –  Iran’s nuclear chief has criticized international organizations for their inaction regarding the Zionist regime’s crimes in Gaza, pointing out that their reluctance to recognize the Israeli military’s actions as war crimes has revealed their double standards to the world.

Mohammad Eslami, head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), investigated the threats of the Zionist regime to bombard Gaza with atomic weapons, criticizing the international bodies for their silence in the face of the regime’s open threats.

“A significant issue in the Gaza war is the observation of the double standards of international organizations, which have exposed the crimes of the Zionist regime to the world,” Eslami remarked on Saturday.

Amichai Eliyahu, Israel’s Heritage Minister, mentioned in an interview on November 5, 2023, that nuking the Gaza Strip is one of Israel’s options. Iran and several other countries have slammed the remarks as a global threat.

The head of the Atomic Energy Organization added, “I have conveyed this issue in a letter to the International Atomic Energy Agency’s director-general and reflected on the threats of the Zionist regime to use nuclear bombs in Gaza.”

He further underscored the history of threats to use nuclear bombs by the regime’s prime minister at the United Nations, even threatening Iran previously.

Eslami also discussed the recent session of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Board of Governors, highlighting their collective decision to remain silent toward Israel’s hostile moves.

He said, “Various countries have explicitly referred to the conflict of Gaza in their statements and speeches, and the entire recent session of the Board of Governors was under the influence of the crimes of the occupying regime in Gaza.”

Since the inception of the war on October 7, Israel has been violently targeting non-combatants and civilian sites in Gaza, disregarding the international rules and regulations about committing war crimes.

Despite the four-day truce agreements, the prospects of winding down the war remain dubious. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue the war against the innocent people of Gaza even after the truce expires, stating his aims to destroy Hamas’ military capabilities, end its 16-year rule in Gaza, and return all the estimated 240 captives held in Gaza by Hamas and other resistance groups.

Israel, which maintains ambiguity about its nuclear weapons, is believed to possess an estimated 200 to 400 nuclear warheads in its arsenal, making it the sole possessor of non-conventional arms in West Asia. The regime has refused inspections of its military nuclear facilities and signing the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
