Iran committed to nuclear NPT, says Araghchi
TEHRAN: Iran on Thursday affirmed its commitment to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, as it accused Germany of "malice" over its criticism of Tehran's decision to suspend cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog. "Iran remains committed to the NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty) and its Safeguards Agreement," Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a post on X. "The explicit German support for the bombing of Iran has obliterated the notion that the German regime harbours anything but malice towards Iranians," he added in response to a German foreign office post criticising the move. On Wednesday, Iran officially suspended its cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog, a move the United States described as "unacceptable". On June 25, a day after a ceasefire took hold, Iranian lawmakers voted overwhelmingly to suspend cooperation with the Vienna-based IAEA. State media confirmed on Wednesday that the legislation had now taken effect. The law aims to "ensure full support for the inherent rights of the Islamic Republic of Iran" under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, with a particular focus on uranium enrichment, according to Iranian media. — AFP
