Iran already warned Israel and the US of severe consequences if attackedTENSIONS in the Middle East are spiralling after Iran was found to be breaching nuclear rules for the first time in two decades.

The UN’s atomic watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, passed a resolution on Wednesday condemning Tehran’s “lack of co-operation”.

It cited undeclared nuclear material and concerns over secret activity at long-suspected sites.

In Vienna this week, the IAEA’s board of governors heard that Iran now possesses around 900 pounds of highly enriched uranium – well above the limits set by the 2015 deal.

Iran claims its programme is for peaceful purposes, but Western powers, including the US, are increasingly sceptical.

It comes as Israel is reportedly “fully ready” to launch a military strike against Iran within days – and without the backing of the United States.
