Iran: US Not Complying with Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty
Iran’s Mission to the United Nations announced that the United States is not complying with the nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT), describing it as “hypocritical behaviour”.
In a post on its X account on Saturday, the mission sharply criticized the US for its “extremely shameful” failure to comply with its nuclear obligations as per the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)“For 56 years, the US – possessor of thousands of nuclear warheads and the No, 1 proliferator of such weapons – has been in clear non-compliance with its nuclear non-proliferation and nuclear disarmament obligations under Articles I and VI of the NPT,” it noted.According to the mission, it is “extremely shameful!”
Iran showed to the world the peaceful nature of its nuclear program by signing the 2015 nuclear accord with six world powers.Tehran has invariably asserted that its nuclear program is aimed at purely peaceful purposes and that had no intention of developing nuclear weapons.The late Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei has even issued a fatwa (religious decree) declaring that the acquisition, development, and use of nuclear weapons violate Islamic principles and are therefore forbidden.
The Iranian mission stressed the need not to give Washington any cover for its “outrageous and hypocritical behavior”.It defended Tehran’s right to enrich uranium with no limitation, reiterating that no restriction can be imposed on the level of uranium enrichment, so long as it is conducted under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).“Legally, there is no restriction on the level of uranium enrichment, so long as it is conducted under the IAEA’s supervision, as was the case with Iran,” it pointed out.
