He urged the UN Security Council to address the situation.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>Irvani alleged that since February 28, the United States and Israel had been engaged in a \u201cwidespread and unjustified aggressive war\u201d against Iran in violation of international law and the UN Charter, particularly Article 2(4), adding that the actions had disrupted maritime security.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>The developments come amid a sharp exchange between Washington and Tehran at the NPT review conference in New York, where Iran was selected as one of the vice presidents for the month-long meeting.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>US official Christopher Yeaw criticised Iran\u2019s selection, calling it an \u201caffront\u201d to the treaty. He said it was \u201cindisputable that Iran has long demonstrated its contempt for the non-proliferation commitments of the NPT\u201d and described the move as \u201cbeyond shameful and an embarrassment to the credibility of this conference.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>Iranian ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency Reza Najafi rejected the remarks as \u201cbaseless and politically motivated.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>\u201cIt is indefensible that United States, as the only state ever to have used nuclear weapons, and the one that continues to expand and modernize its nuclear arsenal&#8230; seeks to position itself as an arbitrator of the compliance,\u201d he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>The dispute comes as the nuclear issue remains central to the ongoing conflict involving Iran, the United States and Israel. US President Donald Trump has repeatedly stated that Iran cannot be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons, while Tehran maintains its programme is for peaceful purposes.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/india\/iran-at-un-accuses-us-of-nuclear-double-standards-misuse-of-npt-platform\/articleshow\/130623504.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iran\u2019s Permanent Mission to the United Nations has accused the United States of using the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty review conference to misrepresent Tehran\u2019s nuclear programme and deflect attention from Washington\u2019s own violations, as tensions between the two countries escalated at the UN.In a statement shared on its official X account, the mission said all of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10763,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[133],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-10762","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-country"},"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10762","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10762"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10762\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10763"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10762"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10762"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/banitoday.com\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10762"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
