Iran’s Ambassador to the UN in Geneva, Ali Bahreini, voiced deep concerns about the growing threats of nuclear weapons during a recent address at the UN Disarmament Conference. He argued that nuclear disarmament is essential for achieving lasting global peace, highlighting an unprecedented arms race and increasing rhetoric around nuclear weapon use. Bahreini criticized nuclear-armed nations for failing to fulfill their obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty while modernizing their arsenals, diverting resources from social and economic development. He emphasized the urgent need for global leaders to prioritize disarmament to foster sustainable peace and security, redirecting funds toward constructive development.
