00:00Bu morayın, sevgili collıgıs.
00:04Bu morayın, Mr. Chairman.
00:05All of us have been following with concern
00:08the military attacks
00:09in the Islamic Republic of Iran
00:11and in the Middle East.
00:14The agency
00:15immediately responded in accordance
00:18with our mandate
00:19by focusing on possible
00:22radiological emergencies
00:23derived from the
00:26military operations.
00:28The IAEA
00:29DA's Incident and Emergency Center is in operation with a dedicated team collecting information
00:37and assessing the situation while bearing in mind limitations in communications caused
00:44by the situation.
00:47The Regional Safety Monitoring Network has been put on alert and is liaising with us
00:55continuously.
00:57So far, no elevation of radiation levels above the usual background levels has been detected
01:05in countries bordering Iran.
01:09Regarding the status of the nuclear installations in Iran up to now, we have no indication that
01:19any of the nuclear installations, including the Bush Air nuclear power plant, the Tehran
01:25Research Reactor, or other nuclear fuel cycle facilities have been damaged or hit.
01:33Efforts to contact the Iranian nuclear regulatory authorities through the IEC continue with no
01:41response so far.
01:42We hope this indispensable channel of communication can be re-established as soon as possible.
01:54Iran and many other countries in the region that have been subject to military attacks have
02:01operational nuclear power plants and nuclear research reactors, as well as associated fuel storage
02:11sites, increasing the threat to nuclear safety.
02:15The United Arab Emirates has four operating nuclear reactors.
02:22Jordan and Syria have operational nuclear research reactors.
02:29Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and Saudi Arabia have also been attacked.
02:38These countries all use nuclear applications of some sort or the other.
02:46We therefore urge utmost restraint in all military operations.
02:54Consistent with the IEEA, as enshrined in its statute, I reiterate my call on
03:04all parties to exercise maximum restraint to avoid further escalation.
03:10Let me again recall past General Conference resolutions that state that armed attacks on
03:17nuclear facilities should never take place and could result in radioactive releases with grave consequences
03:25within and beyond the boundaries of the state which has been attacked.
03:35To achieve the long-term assurance that Iran will not acquire nuclear weapons and for maintaining
03:42the continued effectiveness of the global non-proliferation regime, we must return to diplomacy and negotiations.
03:52The Agency will continue to monitor the situation leveraging its unique resources, deep expertise
03:59and wide international network.
04:02We will report on any radiological consequence of the current military activity and we stand ready
04:09to advise and support our member states in case of impacts on nuclear safety and security.
04:18Dear colleagues, as you know, I have been closely involved in supporting efforts to find a diplomatic solution
04:28to the impasse around Iran's nuclear program.
04:32I was invited by the negotiators to the two most recent rounds of consultations in Geneva, to which
04:44I brought the IEEA's technical and impartial advice.
04:50An understanding eluded the parties this time.
04:55I am sure we are, quite understandably, feeling a strong sense of frustration.
05:00The use of force has been present in international relations since times immemorial.
05:07This is a reality, but it is always the least preferred option.
05:12I remain convinced that the lasting solution to this long-existing discord lies on the diplomatic table.
05:21The IEEA will be there, ready to play its indispensable part whenever and wherever it is called.
05:32Dear colleagues, when it comes to nuclear matters, a crystal clear understanding of the scope and verifiability of an agreement
05:43is of the essence.
05:47Diplomacy is hard, but it is never impossible.
05:50Nuclear diplomacy is even more difficult, but is never impossible.
05:54It is not a matter of if, but of when.
05:57We will again gather at the diplomatic table.
06:00We simply must do so, as quickly as possible.
06:05Mr. Chairman, Excellencies, let me close by reiterating that I have been in close contact with affected member states in
06:12the region.
06:13The IEEA has extensive knowledge of the nature and location of nuclear and radiological material in the region and we
06:23have clear guidance for actions necessary in case of an attack or an accident causing a radiological release, as well
06:33as the ability for hands-on help if it is required.
06:37Let me underline that the situation today is very concerning.
06:41We cannot rule out a possible radiological release with serious consequences, including the necessity to evacuate areas as large or
06:50larger than major cities.
06:52What I can assure you is that the IEEA is there, working with its member states and keeping the international
06:58community informed while being ready to react immediately if a breach in nuclear safety occurs.
07:06Thank you very much.
07:07Thank you very much.
07:07Thank you very much.
