Start-3 treaty violates NPT: Iran MP

Iran Materials 8 February 2011 10:41 (UTC +04:00)

An Iranian Parliament Member said on Monday Start-3 treaty violates NPT and legitimizes development of new generation of nuclear bombs.

"The Start-3 treaty is an agreement on old generation of bombs," Rapporteur of Iranian Parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Kazem Jalali told ISNA added that, "two countries (the US and Russia) agreed to have new generation of bombs with high destruction power."

"Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT) stresses both providing opportunity for all to use peaceful nuclear energy and avoiding any military use of nuclear weapons, but the new Start treaty has violated the NPT."

"The two countries have not fulfilled their commitments in practice. They have only lessened old generation of weapons but now they have the new one."
