Iran, together with allied nations, has submitted a draft resolution aimed at prohibiting all forms of attack or threat of attack against nuclear sites and facilities under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Tasnim reported Sept. 16. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei announced on Tuesday that the draft, presented jointly by Iran, China, Russia, Venezuela, Nicaragua and Belarus, is intended to defend the integrity of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
“To defend the integrity of the NPT, Iran along with China, Russia, Venezuela, Nicaragua and Belarus have submitted a draft resolution on ‘Prohibition of all forms of attack and threats of attack against nuclear sites and facilities under IAEA safeguards,’” he said in a post on his X account. “As our draft reconfirms, all countries enjoy the ‘inalienable right to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes’ and are ‘entitled to effective guarantees against any attack or threat of attack,’” the spokesman explained.
