The Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations and other International Organizations in Vienna, Austria, conveyed on X a poignant message, highlighting the enduring agony left by the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as a stark reminder of the profound human suffering inflicted by these devastating weapons. The statement asserts that the extensive devastation, loss of life, and harmful radiation affecting unborn generations highlight that the sole definitive assurance to prevent such a catastrophic tragedy from recurring is the complete eradication of nuclear weapons, lest they annihilate humanity. The United States, historically the sole nation to have deployed nuclear weapons and a Depositary for the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), persists in the expansion and modernization of its nuclear arsenal. This ongoing initiative has been highlighted amidst longstanding non-compliance allegations concerning its nuclear disarmament responsibilities, with these actions perpetuating a global environment of persistent threat.
