Iran Makes Pledge On UN Nuclear Treaty

[Purveyor]

Iran’s foreign ministry has said the country is a committed signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and will continue co-operating with the UN nuclear watchdog agency.

Five major powers yesterday labelled Iran and North Korea as “serious challenges” to the world’s nuclear security, saying they have defied UN sanctions.

They cited Iran’s “continued pursuit of certain nuclear activities” as among the biggest threats to the treaty, the world’s most important pact on preventing the spread of nuclear arms.

Responding to the charge today, the semi-official Isna news agency quoted Iran foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast as saying that Iran is “loyal” to its commitments under the treaty and will continue working with the International Atomic Energy Agency.
