Iran states US is the greatest threat to Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty

Iran has termed the United States as the biggest risk to the global Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Baghaei has issued a warning regarding the military threats being made by the US. He stated that these actions by the US undermine the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Amidst increasing pressure, Iran is intensifying its discussions regarding its nuclear policy. However, Iran has clarified that it remains firm in respecting its nuclear commitments and that its nuclear programme is peaceful, which has been repeatedly certified.

On the other hand, according to a report by Business Standard, although the negotiations held in Qatar ended without an agreement, contacts for peace between Iran and the US are ongoing. Tehran has stated that it is communicating with Washington through mediators. Iran has also made its peace proposal more concise.

However, disagreements are still being observed between the two countries on several issues. These disputes primarily involve key subjects such as economic sanctions, nuclear negotiations, and the Strait of Hormuz. Iran is also issuing warnings regarding the enhancement of its defence capabilities.
