“What is the benefit of joining a treaty in which bullying parties at the international level not only do not allow us to benefit from its rights but also attack our nuclear facilities?” Mr. Baghaei said, adding that Tehran would respect the treaty as long as it is a member.
Iran says its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes and that as a signatory of the NPT it has the right to peaceful nuclear enrichment.
