Islamic Republic of Iran calling on Disarmament Conference to begin serious disarmament talks, asked for devising a chronological plan for total global nuclear disarmament.

According to IRIB, Iran’s Ambassador and permanent representative Mohammad-Reza Sajjadi made the comment at Geneva Disarmament Conference on June 15th.

He added, “The nuclear arsenals of certain states pose the greatest threats against the world peace and security today.”

Sajjadi said, “It is a pity that two decades after the end to the Cold War, its malicious heritage is still exerting its weigh against the international community. Nuclear weapons are sill stockpiled at the arsenals of a limited number of states, and the military doctrines on their usage keep getting updated.”

He criticized the usage of nuclear weapons, particularly against the countries that do not possess them, arguing, “The world cannot wait for good to see whether the countries that possess the nuclear weapons are willing to annihilate them, or not; therefore, it is necessary for the international community to adopt serious and immediate measures in the field.”
