The Governing Board of the International Atomic Energy Agency, IAEA, is to meet in the coming hours to discuss yesterday’s American strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
The meeting is coming ahead of the assertion by Abbas Araghchi, the Foreign Minister of Iran, that the IAEA, by keeping mum on the American strikes on the nuclear facilities in Isfahan, Natanz and Fordow- on Saturday night, was complicit.
Ahead of the meeting, the IAEA said it had not found any evidence of an increase in the level of radiation at the struck sites.
The IAEA is the nuclear watchdog of the United Nations, UN.
It operates the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty ( NPT), which guides/ regulates nuclear programmes in NPT signatory states.
Russia and America are the world ‘s nuclear weapons super power, with both holding more than 70 per cent of the total stock of nuclear weapons.
Russia has not nuclear weapons than the rest of the world out together.
America, Russia, France, China, India, Pakistan and North Korea are all nuclear states.
Israel , which does not officially admit to it, is a rogue nuclear state with an estimated 400 units of the dreaded weapon.
Iran, in hushed tones, had spoken of the prospect of it leaving the NPT, and end its cooperation with the IAEA.
