Iran renews call to compel Israel to destroy its nuclear weapons stockpile

New York, SANA- The US should adhere to its commitments towards nuclear disarmament and the establishment of a nuclear-weapon-free zone in the Middle East, Iran’s Ambassador and Permanent representative to the United Nations, Majid Takht Ravanchi said.

Takht Ravanchi’s remarks came during the Tenth Review Conference for the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), which is being held in New York.

“The Zionist entity must abandon its nuclear arsenal, completely destroy its stockpile of nuclear weapons, and accede to the Non-Proliferation Treaty without further delay or any preconditions,” Takht Ravanchi was quote by Iranian IRNA news agency as saying.

He noted that subjecting all nuclear activities of the Zionist entity under the comprehensive safety measures of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is necessary in order to establish a nuclear-weapon-free zone.
