‘Nuclear terrorism and hypocrisy, tools in hands of U.S.’
TEHRAN, June 14 (MNA) – A top Iranian security official has described the U.S. policies as “modern dictatorship,” saying the “nuclear terrorism and nuclear hypocrisy” are tools in the hands of the Unites States to push ahead with its international policies.
Ali Baqeri, the deputy secretary of Supreme National Security Council, made the remarks on Monday during the closing ceremony of the second International Conference on Disarmament and Non-proliferation hosted by the Foreign Ministry Institute for Political and International Studies (IPIS) in northern Tehran.
“The nuclear terrorism and the nuclear hypocrisy are two tools in the hands of the U.S. modern dictatorship,” he said.
Nuclear terrorism denotes the use, or threat of the use, of nuclear weapons or radiological weapons in acts of terrorism, including attacks against facilities where radioactive materials are present.
“The U.S. on the one hand, portrays itself as the upholder of the nuclear disarmament and hinders the nations’ progress on this pretext, and on the other hand, tries to destroy the nations’ efforts to gain access to scientific achievements,” Baqeri stated.
He went on to say that the most important factor jeopardizing the international security is the production, stockpiling, and the use of the weapons of mass destruction, especially nuclear weapons, by the major powers.
The official also pointed to the new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty between the U.S. and Russia and said that the success of the treaty is in doubt because it does not envisage any verification mechanism, so the implementation of the agreement can not be overseen.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Baqeri criticized the U.S. government for supporting the Zionist regime’s unmonitored nuclear program.
“The U.S. is continuously and unconditionally supporting the only regime in the Middle East which possesses nuclear warheads, namely the Zionist regime,” he said.
He also criticized the U.S. nuclear policies set out in the latest U.S. Nuclear Posture Review.
NPR envisages the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons in Europe and the Persian Gulf region, a measure which is in contravention of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, he said.
In addition, he said that the U.S. in NPR has openly threatened the Islamic republic of Iran with nuclear attacks.
Commenting on the nuclear terrorism against Iran, the official said that the U.S. has played a major role in the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists through supporting Israel and assisting this regime in conducting terrorist actions against Iran.
He also said that the U.S. has played an undeniable role in carrying out cyber attacks on the Iranian nuclear facilities with the aim of hindering Iran’s nuclear program meant for peaceful purposes.
In conclusion, Baqeri put forward several proposals to help the realization of the dream of a nuclear-weapon-free world.
He proposed a day would be designated as the international day of nuclear-weapons-free world.
He also proposed that an international fact-finding committee would be set up to investigate cyber attacks launched against the nuclear facilities of the International Atomic Energy Agency member states and report on the results to the IAEA Board of Governors meeting in September.
