Iran renews call for nuke-free world http://english.iribnews.ir/NewsBody.aspx?ID=13319

IRI's Ambassador to the United Nations Mohammad Khazaei has called on the international community to take serious steps toward a complete nuclear disarmament. Addressing the UN Disarmament Commission on Wednesday, Khazaei said that indiscriminate implementation of Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) is the only way to free the world from nuclear weapons. "The only way forward to eliminate threats posed by nuclear weapons is to completely destroy them. Iran believes that the best way for ensuring nuclear non-proliferation is to fully implement the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty without bias, particularly in the sensitive Middle East region," IRIB quoted him as saying. 

He said nuclear disarmament is among the top priorities of the comity of nations and resolutions approved by the UN General Assembly. The envoy condemned certain countries for possessing nuclear weapons and "for not upholding their legal commitments for destroying the banned weapons." 

Khazaei also said the Zionist regime is threatening the regional and international peace and security as a recognized wielder of nuclear warheads. "Due to the Zionist regime's refusal to join the NPT and its formidable sites not being subject to the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), efforts to create a region free of nuclear weapons had not been successful," Khazaei stated. "The Middle East is a region where the nuclear program of one regime that is not a member of NPT, seriously threatens regional and international peace and security," he added.
