The elimination of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s nuclear threat is a key to fulfilling the obligations of the Non-Poliferation of Nuclear Weapons Treaty (NPT), Iran’s Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said during the opening day of the 2015 NPT in New York.
NEW
YORK (Sputnik) — The goal of the NPT conference is to prevent the
spread of nuclear weapons and to further achieve nuclear disarmament.
Iran’s foreign minister went on to label Israel as a serious threat to security in the region for continuing to develop and stockpile nuclear arsenals.
“We remain deeply concerned by military and
security doctrines of the nuclear-weapon states, as well as that of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization, in which they justify the use or
threat of use of nuclear weapons and maintain unjustifiably the concept
of security based on nuclear deterrence and nuclear military alliances.”
Zarif
reiterated Iran’s commitment to creating the Middle East free
of nuclear weapons, but mentioned that various countries in the region
were slowing down possible progress in this direction.
“We express deep concern at the continued lack of progress in the
implementation of nuclear disarmament obligations and commitments by the
nuclear-weapon-states, which could undermine the object and purpose
of the Treaty and the credibility of the non-proliferation regime,”
Zarif said.Iran’s foreign minister went on to label Israel as a serious threat to security in the region for continuing to develop and stockpile nuclear arsenals.
