Why it matters:
This statement reflects growing international concern about the targeting of peaceful nuclear infrastructure, which threatens global peace and security and undermines confidence in disarmament treaties as well as the efficiency of the intrernational bodies.
The big picture:
The U.S.-Israeli attacks on the Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan facilities, which are under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), constitute a flagrant violation of international law and the UN Charter and have threatened the delicate balance upon which the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) is based.
What he's saying:
Iravani: "The protection of peaceful nuclear facilities must become an inviolable norm, and aggressors must know that they will not escape punishment."
"Attacks on International Monitoring System facilities undermine the objectives of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty."
"The threat of force against nuclear facilities poses no less danger than the nuclear tests themselves."
Key points:
- The attacks constitute a violation of Article IV of the NPT.
- Iran commends Kazakhstan’s initiative to promote the International Day against Nuclear Tests.
- Iran calls for strengthening legal protection for peaceful nuclear facilities.
