Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar speaks with UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy ahead of the meeting next week of the Board of Governors of the UN nuclear watchdog.

“Member states should demand that the IAEA condemn Iran and report on its repeated violations,” says Sa’ar, according to his office.

Sa’ar also warns Lammy of the dangers that could be unleashed if Tehran is being “shielded by a nuclear umbrella.”
