Iran Press/ Europe: In a message posted on social media platform X, Ulyanov stated that the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) has analyzed data from 25 monitoring stations, confirming that the recorded waveforms align with those of previous earthquakes in the region, rather than indicating nuclear testing.
Rumors had circulated suggesting a connection between the recent tremor and potential nuclear activities in Iran. However, Ulyanov's remarks clarify that the seismic activity is consistent with natural geological processes.
The CTBT, which aims to prohibit nuclear explosions globally, was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on September 10, 1996. This treaty obligates member states to refrain from nuclear testing and establishes a framework for international monitoring through underground seismic stations.
Currently, 337 monitoring stations and data collection centers operate in 89 countries, diligently gathering information in accordance with the treaty's standards. This data is sent to the CTBTO headquarters in Vienna for thorough analysis.
As of now, 183 countries have signed the CTBT, with 164 nations having ratified it, paving the way for its implementation in the global effort to prevent nuclear testing.
