Unida Nicaragua Triunfa
PRESS RELEASE
Nicaragua, as a State party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), respects, and demands that other States respect, the provisions of that instrument, which is vitally important for the survival of humanity. However, at the same time, Nicaragua recalls that this Treaty is aimed at limiting the proliferation of nuclear weapons, but does not affect the right to develop the research, production and use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has been developing and using nuclear energy for peaceful purposes over several decades, even before the NPT was negotiated and signed. In all those years, it has not used its nuclear energy program to acquire or manufacture nuclear weapons. This has recently been confirmed even by the highest national security authorities of Western countries, particularly the United States.
Iran has maintained this rejection of the use of nuclear weapons despite suffering continuous attacks from nuclear-armed states such as Israel and the United States. It is worth recalling the recent armed aggression of Israel followed by that of the United States, which included attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities, despite the enormous risk of creating a major nuclear disaster.
Instead of imposing sanctions for these armed attacks which flagrantly violate international law, the US NATO partners, Germany, France and the United Kingdom, are now seeking to accuse Iran of violating nuclear arms limitation agreements so that they can continue and even increase the illegal sanctions they have imposed on Iran for decades. Instead of sanctioning Israel, the State which militarily attacked Iran and which is perpetrating the genocide of the Palestinian People, to the contrary, they give Israel every political, economic and military support to continue its international crimes.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran has addressed a letter to the Acting President of the United Nations Security Council, the Head of Foreign Policy of the European Union and Coordinator of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, as well as members of the Security Council in response to attempts by those three European countries, to reactivate Security Council resolutions and impose sanctions on the Nation of Iran.
It is important to make the text of this note known so that the people of Nicaragua are aware of the collusion of the three aforementioned States with the genocidal regime of Israel and with the armed aggression of the United States.
