A former UN weapons inspector has urged Iran and Israel to end their nuclear activities and criticised the US for seeking militaristic remedies to disagreements.
The recommendation was one of 60 put forward in a report prepared by the 14-member Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission, an initiative of the Swedish government set up in 2003.
Hans Blix, who led the UN search for chemical, biological and nuclear weapons in Iraq before the US-led invasion, presented the report to Kofi Annan, the UN secretary-general.
Blix said that the US had "looked more to its own military power for remedies" instead of strengthening international treaties and institutions.
At a press conference to present the report, Hans Blix also revealed the number of nuclear weapons that Israel is believed to possess.
"Israel should commit itself not to make more plutonium, they are assumed to have 200 nuclear weapons," Blix said.

Someone that's been threatening them could be losing a lot of sleep over that bit of news.

If we were not militaristic, we would be just like the Europeans...all talk. Our diplomacy is much more effective because of the threat of force.
