TEHRAN, Oct. 4 (Xinhua) -- Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Mohamed ElBaradei said Sunday that "Israel is number one threat to Middle East" with its nuclear arms, the official IRNA news agency reported.

At a joint press conference with Iran's Atomic Energy Organization chief Ali Akbar Salehi in Tehran, ElBaradei brought Israel under spotlight and said that the Tel Aviv regime has refused to allow inspections into its nuclear installations for 30years, the report said.

"Israel is the number one threat to the Middle East given the nuclear arms it possesses," ElBaradei was quoted as saying.

"This (possession of nuclear arms) was the cause for some proper measures to gain access to its (Israel's) power plants ... and the U.S. president has done some positive measures for the inspections to happen," said ElBaradei.

Pathetic. There will be no peace in the mideast until radical muslims love their children more than they hate Jews.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

And Mohammed is the "inspector" of Iran's nukes ?
Don't make me laugh.

[Bender2]

Mohamed ElBaradei sounds like the perfect replacement... for Van Jones in the Obamanation Administration!

[Eccl 10:2]

How long has Israel had nukes?

How many times have they used them?

How many times have they threatened to use them?

Get the US out of the UN.

Get the UN out of the US.

Now, please.

Sounds like Imanutjob has nothing to fear from the IAEA.And it's a given that the Israeli govt couldn't care less about what they say.we can only pray that Israel has the courage to be a *serious* menace to a soon-to-be-nuclear-armed Iran.

And if that would involve a mushroom cloud (or two) over the skies of Iran,so be it.

The enemies of freedom are in charge of the United Nations. Get us out of this bunch of pro dictators and women haters and start a new organization that will only allow countries with freedom to be members.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

I agree absolutely. The UN is corrupt to the core.

A member of the Pederast Religion says it Israel’s fault.Shocked!

"Israel is the number one threat to the Middle East given the nuclear arms it possesses," ElBaradei was quoted as saying.

DumBO says ditto.

40 years. Strictly for self defense

[halo66]

But I thought this was for peaceful purposes???? Pathetic!
How can anyone be surprised by this...and the folks responsible for pushing the 2007 NIE should be thrown in jail!

[VRWCTexan]

Mohamed ElBaradei hates American, and has been fronting and covering up for Iran all along...

He is an egyptian muslim, and married to an Iranian wife!

[piytar]

Sounds good, but as of Jan 20, I’m not sure America qualifies anymore...

[Carley]

It’s good for us when these stooges speak their mind.

[livius]

Incredible. Actually, the sad thing is that it’s not incredible.

I never knew why somebody named “Mohammed” was entrusted with nuclear inspection anyway.

[penelopesire]

BINGO!! How many nuclear programs has the man ‘missed’ now? Pakistan, North Korea,Iraq,Iran,Libya and god knows who else that we are likely to find out about when it is too late. He ‘missed’ the whole Kahn network. The man is an enemy of this country.

[BallyBill]

People come and go, but El Baradei has to be one of the most dangerous people of this Century.

[mikey_hates_everything]

Hey Mo, Israel doesn’t have nukes. Israel has never had nukes. Where’s the evidence against Israel that you muslims are always demanding when one of yours does something?

[PIF]

ElB has long been a supporter of the “muslim bomb” - this back when no one besides Russia, US, France, Britan, Isreal and China had the bomb. To imagine he has been working to control anything nuclear is a fool’s wish. He figured prominently in the Paks mysteriously getting the bomb.

I’m not sure America qualifies anymore...
