Israels expansion of Dimona nuclear site threatens global security: Iran

Irans permanent ambassador to the UN office in Geneva has raised the alarm at the Israeli regimes quiet expansion of its highly-secretive Dimona nuclear facility in the Negev Desert, renewing the call for the irreversible destruction of nuclear weapons by the possessors of such internationally-banned arms.

Addressing the UN-sponsored Conference on Disarmament in Geneva on Wednesday Esmaeil Baghaei Hamaneh said that Israels reported attempts to expand facilities that the regime uses to build nuclear bombs are a big threat to regional and international peace and security.

He was reacting to newly-released satellite images, which have revealed that the Israeli regime the sole possessor of nuclear arms in the Middle East is conducting significant constructive activities at the Dimona nuclear facility.

Citing commercial satellite imagery of the facility, the International Panel on Fissile Material (IPFM), a group of independent nuclear experts from 17 countries, reported last week that significant new construction had been underway at the Dimona complex.
