Israel is lashing out at the #IAEA because America and Europe are not pushing to hold Iran accountable at the Board of Governors. Tehran gets away with violations by providing dubious explanations. 1/
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Netanyahu: “The IAEA’s ineffectual conduct in the face of these weak excuses conveys a message to Iran’s rulers that they need not pay any price whatsoever for their violations, and that they can continue deceiving the international community with their efforts to obtain nuclear… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
He says, “Iran’s excuses since then regarding the finding of nuclear material in prohibited locations are not only unreliable, they are technically impossible.” 3/
Should be noted that even if IAEA says it has "no further questions at this stage," finds explanations "not inconsistent" with other data, etc, this does not mean it cannot reopen matters or ask new questions. The IAEA often doesn't make judgments about intent. 4/
But this troubling dynamic reflects the seriousness with which Israel takes Iran's activities and obfuscations--and the relative disinterest of the West in getting to the bottom of it. 5/

During today's press conference at opening of IAEA Board of Governors, @iaeaorg DG @rafaelmgrossi pushed back against accusations that agency has "watered down" verification standards for political considerations. 1/ iaea.org/press/press-co…
Says, if anything, this process (of IAEA looking into undeclared sites in Iran), agency has been "strict", "technically impartial," "fair," and "firm." 2/
Grossi says he would never argue with the head of another government, never politicize the case, and member states see these things from one way or another. 3/

In Den Haag, Netherlands closely following the @OPCW #RevCon5 on the Chemical Weapons Convention.

Unfortunately, two member states decided to block FDD’s participation (the only U.S. org, as well as two Syrian, one Israeli).

We will not be silenced. Stay tuned. Image

New @FDD memo out today ahead of next week's Chemical Weapons Convention review conference @OPCW.

Syria's suspension two years ago has been positive for the organization. Member states must next turn to giving Russia an ultimatum for compliance.🧵
fdd.org/analysis/2023/…
#OPCW member states voted in April 2021 to suspend #Syria’s voting rights & privileges, the first suspension of its kind, holding Damascus to account for prolonged non-compliance with the Chemical Weapons Convention. 1/
The #OPCW has functioned more smoothly since it suspended #Syria because #Russia obstructs routine business less frequently than in the past when it did so to protect its client in Damascus. 2/

Analysis of the IAEA's latest report on Iran's NPT compliance with @TheGoodISIS:

🧵Our recommendation: Due to Iran’s prolonged, ongoing lack of cooperation, the IAEA Board of Governors should pass a resolution condemning Iran’s non-cooperation and refer the issue to the UNSC.
1) For four years, the IAEA has been investigating the presence of man-made uranium particles at three Iranian sites.
2) Earlier, the IAEA sought information about nuclear material and activities at a fourth site. In March 2022, the IAEA found Iran in breach of its safeguards obligations for failing to declare its use of nuclear material at the fourth site.

Happy 25th anniversary of the entry into force of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC)! The CWC & its implementing body, @OPCW have been successful at dismantling 99% of chemical weapons stockpiles, instituting oversight over facilities & chemicals. Yet the CWC is under threat.
Russia, Syria, and North Korea have used chemical weapons over the past decade. China and Iran may still have undeclared CW programs. The State Department has concerns about an ISIS program.
.@OPCW, three revisionist member states — China, Iran, and Russia — parties to the convention which hold voting rights, have continued their practice of opposing decisions that would uphold the CWC and attempted to stymie routine organizational business.
