Iran's mission to the United Nations on Saturday described the United States as "extremely shameful" for its non-compliance with the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT).
"For 56 years, the U.S.-- possessor of thousands of nuclear warheads and the No. 1 proliferator of such weapons -- has been in clear non-compliance with its nuclear non-proliferation and nuclear disarmament obligations under Articles I and VI of the NPT," said the mission in a post on social media platform X.
The mission said the U.S. should not be given any cover for its outrageous and hypocritical behavior.
Legally, there is no restriction on the level of uranium enrichment, so long as it is conducted under the IAEA’s supervision, as was the case with Iran, it said.
The NPT, signed in 1968 and effective since March 5, 1970, is the only treaty that contains legally binding commitments to pursuing nuclear disarmament. A total of 191 states have joined the treaty, including the five nuclear-weapon states, making the NPT the most widely adhered to multilateral disarmament agreement.
According to the NPT, a review conference is held every five years to assess the treaty's implementation.
