According to the foreign policy group of Fars News Agency, “Amir Saeed Irvani”, the ambassador and permanent representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations, on Monday night, November 22, during a speech at the Middle East conference free of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction. Mentioning that the current global perspective emphasizes the necessity of creating a Middle East region free of all weapons of mass destruction, Sokhani said: the existence of such weapons, at the regional or global level, is considered a threat to humanity and is often used as a tool for ransom.

He added: At the international level, there is an urgent need to address the risks related to the possible proliferation of nuclear weapons by the United States and NATO.

The ambassador and permanent representative of Iran continued his speech and added: Considering the recent crimes in the Middle East, we express our immediate concern about Israel’s ambiguous nuclear policy and the potential use of weapons of mass destruction. We express ourselves in the Gaza conflict or elsewhere. The secrecy of Israel’s nuclear capabilities is a significant threat to regional stability, and we call for immediate action to address this issue.

* The necessity of creating a Middle East free of weapons of mass destruction

This senior Iranian diplomat stated that in this critical period, the necessity of creating such a region in the Middle East has never been so important. There was no urgency, he stated: Now, more than ever, creating a Middle East free of weapons of mass destruction is a fundamental step towards a safer and more secure future.

Irvani noted: We We welcome the “Joint Statement of the OIC Member States on the Threat of Using Nuclear Weapons by Israel” which was approved with the full and valuable support of the OIC member states on November 6, 2023. We suggest that another statement be issued by this conference condemning the nuclear threat posed by the Israeli regime. The purpose of this declaration is to condemn the use or threat of nuclear weapons and emphasize the necessity of transparency, responsible behavior and commitment to peaceful resolutions in the region.

Iran’s ambassador and permanent representative continued: The international community should accept these threats of the Israeli regime as a clear wake-up call. The actions of the Israeli regime, including examples of terrorism and sabotage against civilian nuclear programs and scientists in the region, require the immediate intervention of international institutions such as the United Nations Security Council and the International Atomic Energy Agency.

He said: On the other hand, Israel’s unwarranted refusal to participate in this vital conference, bolstered by the unwavering support of the United States, is indefensible. Such reluctance and foreign support prevent vital discussions for global security. Stopping this obstacle and encouraging meaningful participation is essential for the benefit of international stability. In addition, any other country that enables Israel’s weapons activities violates international laws and contributes to the proliferation of these dangerous weapons. , taking into account the specific thematic debates, it is very important to determine the areas that need more attention, made suggestions such as that the function of nuclear-weapon-free zones is to ensure that there are no weapons in that area, so we need to We emphasize real disarmament before creating nuclear-weapon-free zones.

He added: It is very important to address this issue in creating zones free of nuclear weapons, especially in a region like the Middle East with the real existence of weapons of mass destruction in the region. In furtherance of this goal, other critical aspects and options for verification can be discussed. In this regard, after thematic discussions, this issue should be referred to the working committee for a comprehensive solution, so that the technical experts of the International Atomic Energy Agency and the member countries follow up and effectively resolve the existing gaps.

Irvani also said that the use of nuclear, biological and chemical technologies for peaceful purposes is critical, given past experiences of insufficient compliance by developing countries. The difference between the obligations of developing and developed countries regarding peaceful access to technology requires detailed provisions in the regional treaty. By providing for the facilitation of peaceful access to technology, the treaty should ensure not only the recognition of this right, but also specific enforcement mechanisms to defend members’ rights against any obstruction. It is necessary to avoid unilateral coercive measures in line with peaceful technology and international cooperation.

The participation of all internal stakeholders from different military and civilian sectors should be held at a high level.

Irvani also emphasized on using the valuable experiences of other regional treaties on the need for continuous and continuous interaction with those organizations and treaties in He emphasized the duration of the drafting and implementation of the treaty and added: Iran remains determined to adhere to its international obligations and at the same time diligently protects its national interests in accordance with international laws.
