Iran's right to peaceful use of nuclear energy non-negotiable: FM
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has addressed the UN Plenary Meeting of the Conference on Disarmament, stressing Iran's right to use nuclear energy as a non-negotiable right.
"Nuclear weapons constitute greatest threat to humanity," Araghchi said at his speech at the the UN Disarmament Conference.
"Iran has consistently pursued a peaceful path of nuclear energy. Iran does not seek to acquire nuclear weapons," he said, adding "Attacks on safeguarded nuclear facilities constitute a war crime."
"The failure of the UNSC and IAEA to unequivocally condemn these attacks sets a dangerous precedent."
"Iran has consistently stressed its commitment to work with the IAEA within their comprehensive safeguard framework. The cooperation should strictly be on a technical level and unbiased," the minister said.
