Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bagae said that Iran has joined the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty since 1970 and fulfilled its international obligations, but it has long experienced breach of contract, military attacks, assassinations of nuclear scientists, and attacks on peaceful nuclear facilities. He pointed out that this “cruel practice” has sparked serious discussions in Iran's politics and elites: how to balance international obligations with actually enjoying legitimate nuclear rights. Iran's diplomatic system says it will follow the major decisions of national security agencies, and emphasizes that it will resolutely safeguard Iran's sovereignty, security, and core interests.
