Statement by Iran on Peaceful Uses at the 4th Session of the Conference on the Establishment of a Middle East Zone Free of Nuclear Weapons and other WMD

The statement underscores the right for peaceful uses and the international instruments which reaffirm this right. It echoes concerns about unilateral restrictions beyond the existing international safeguards, emphasizing the need to avoid any of such in the treaty. The statement recalls the discussions on unilateral coercive measures from previous sessions and calls for regional cooperation initiatives to address these, including a multinational joint fuel consortium.
