Iran Elected to NPT Vice Presidency Amid US Friction
Iran has been elected as one of 34 vice-presidents at the 11th Review Conference of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) held at the UN headquarters in New York. The United States criticized the election, calling it an insult to nations that comply with non-proliferation obligations. The Trump administration maintains a demand for the complete removal of highly enriched uranium and a 20-year suspension of Iran's nuclear program. Iran has dismissed the US criticism as political posturing. The election follows an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for lifting US port blockades, while delaying complex nuclear discussions.
