Zionist regime’s nuclear arsenal threatens peace

Iran’s Ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Ali-Asghar Soltanieh warns against the serious threat Zionist regime’s nuclear arsenal poses to global peace and security.

According to Press TV, addressing the second session of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Preparatory Committee in Geneva on Monday, Soltanieh said that allowing the Zionist regime regime to continue nuclear weapons production without any punishment would have serious of consequences for regional and international peace and security.
He added “Non-proliferation and nuclear disarmament are both sides of one coin. Nuclear-armed countries have diverted the attention of the international community from their constant measures taken to achieve nuclear weapons under the pretext of non-proliferation.”
He said a a responsible country that has no nuclear weapons and carries out merely peaceful nuclear activities, the Islamic Republic of Iran will remain completely committed to NPT objectives.
The Iranian envoy pointed out “We believe that full implementation of the Non-Proliferation Treaty without discrimination plays a fundamental role in promoting international peace and security.”
He once again renewed Iran’s call for nuclear disarmament weapons based on the NPT regulations, saying nuclear countries should not cooperate with non-nuclear states/entities or non-signatories to the treaty.
Soltanieh further criticized the United States for transferring hundreds of nuclear weapons to certain countries, particularly in the European Union, which have no nuclear arms and stated that Washington has not been committed to its undertakings based on the NPT.
