BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 23. The military
airstrikes carried out by the US against Iran are considered a
violation of the UN Charter, international law, and more
importantly, the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons
(NPT), said Seyed Abbas Araghchi, Iranian Foreign Minister,
Trend
reports.
In an interview with Iranian media in Moscow, Araghchi stated
that the NPT is a vital mechanism for international security,
supporting countries that have renounced nuclear weapons.
“If a country’s nuclear facilities are attacked and this is
proudly announced, yet the United Nations Security Council,
international institutions, and the International Atomic Energy
Agency (IAEA) fail to prevent or even condemn such an act, then it
raises serious concerns about the actual role of the NPT in
protecting the interests of nations pursuing peaceful nuclear
energy.
In this context, the US’s attacks on Iran’s nuclear sites place
the NPT in a precarious position and could have dangerous
consequences for global security.
The US conducted airstrikes targeting three nuclear facilities
in Iran on June 22, reportedly causing significant damage.
