Kharrazi: Israeli nuclear arsenal main threat against regional peace

IRNA


Tehran, May 28, IRNA -- Iran's Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi here   
on Wednesday called the nuclear arsenal of the Zionist regime of      
Israel as the main threat against peace and security in the region.   
    Kharrazi told a meeting of foreign ministers of the Organization  
of the Islamic Conference (OIC) that the Zionist regime must be       
brought under pressure to disarm and to join international            
conventions against weapons of mass destruction.                      
    He said the Zionist regime has been pursuing the policy of        
"coercion and terror" against Muslim nations, particularly Iran, Syria
and Saudi Arabia, and called for collective efforts by the OIC to     
thwart Zionist threats.                                               
    Kharrazi further said that Israel continues its policy of         
occupation and repression against the Palestinians and voiced regret  
that the Zionist regime is not committed to any peace process in the  
occupied territories.                                                 
    He said the Israeli non-commitment to peace constituted the       
primary factor for the current crisis in Palestine, stressing that    
Muslim nations must promote unity in supporting the inalienable       
rights of the Palestinian nation.                                     
    "A fundamental and final solution to the Palestinian issue can    
only be realized through an international consensus, with the UN      
playing a central role," Kharrazi said.                               
    "A Palestinian state formed in a process of free election with    
participation of all Palestinians will have the respect of the        
international community and all Islamic nations", he concluded.
