FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda At the NPT Review Preparatory Committee in Vienna, Soltanieh said some of the nuclear-armed states including Britain and France have violated the treaty by modernizing their nuclear arsenals and should be held accountable to their people and the international community.
Soltanieh said that “the plan to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on the modernization of nuclear arsenals” and “constructing new facilities for production of new nuclear weapons” are all “clear indications” that these states are evading their nuclear disarmament obligations.
Soltanieh also maintained that the reduction of nuclear weapons can be no replacement for the complete nuclear disarmament, saying the reductions cannot guarantee a world free of nuclear weapons.
The Iranian ambassador’s comments on a complete nuclear disarmament are in accordance with Article VI of the NPT which calls for “general and complete disarmament under strict and effective international control.”
While calling for a “complete disarmament”, Article IV of the NPT considers uranium enrichment as the “inalienable right” of all signatories to the treaty.
Nevertheless, British officials have repeatedly said that they are after putting an end to uranium enrichment in Iran.
Speaking with the Daily Telegraph on 23 January 2012, UK Ambassador to the IAEA from 2001 to 2006, Peter Jenkins, said: “Our objective was to put a stop to all enrichment in Iran. That has remained the West’s aim ever since.”
Furthermore, in an interview with the BBC last month, British Foreign Secretary William Hague said: “Certainly our position, in line with UN Security Council resolutions, is that enrichment must stop. That is absolutely right.”
