Envoy terms Iran’s safeguards cooperation with IAEA as “exemplary”

Iran's Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations Office and International Organizations in Vienna Mohsen Naziri-Asl described Iran’s safeguards cooperation with the IAEA as exemplary, noting that the country is committed to a safeguards agreement with the UN nuclear watchdog.  

Naziri-Asl made the remarks addressing the Preparatory Committee for the 2026 Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) in Vienna on Tuesday.

The ambassador regretted that nuclear disarmament as a main principle of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons has not been fulfilled yet.

He warned against the beginning of a new nuclear arms race among countries possessing nuclear arms.

Naziri-Asl added that the deployment of nuclear weapons in some European countries that do not possess such weapons is a breach of the commitments under NPT.

He noted that in the light of support from the United States, the Zionist regime has stood against all the efforts and initiatives to create a nuclear arms free region in the Middle East.
