Iran-Asefi-Nuclear
Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi here Sunday reiterated Iran's commitment to the
Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
Asefi made the statement while addressing domestic and foreign reporters at his weekly press conference.
"What is important to Iran is that we cannot accept the treaty to be used as a tool for political purposes," the spokesman said.
He added Iran believes it is acting on the basis of its responsibilities within the frameworks of the article of association of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Safeguards.
"The world, however, should not act in a way that gives the impression that the NPT and the IAEA are being dealt with
politically," he said.
