"The NPT's very survival as a credible mechanism to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons is now at stake, as states without nuclear weapons agree not to acquire them while those that possess them commit to eventual disarmament."
"Iran had agreed to zero accumulation, zero stockpiling and full verification of its existing stockpile by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), with plans to downblend its stockpile to natural uranium levels."
"The NPT, alongside the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, was designed to prevent scenarios where military action is justified under the pretext of nuclear proliferation, raising accusations of hypocrisy against the US and Israel."
The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) review conference has commenced in New York, focusing on Iran's enriched uranium stockpile. Analysts express skepticism about the conference's ability to enforce treaty compliance among nuclear powers. Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi reported Iran's agreement to zero accumulation and full verification of its stockpile. However, US and Israeli military actions against Iran have raised concerns about the NPT's effectiveness. The treaty's credibility is questioned as it relies on a balance between nuclear and non-nuclear states, with Israel's nuclear status complicating the situation.
