Security Council Warned Iran Nuclear Stalemate Is Creating Oversight Vacuum
Location: Iran
Iran’s Mission to the UN said Saturday that the US is not complying with the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, calling it “hypocritical behavior,” Anadolu Agency reports. “For 56 years, the US — possessor of thousands of nuclear warheads and the No. 1 proliferator of such weapons — has been in clear non-compliance with its nuclear non-proliferation and nuclear disarmament obligations under Articles I and VI of the NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty),” Iran’s Permanent Mission to the UN said in a statement. “The US should not be given any cover for its outrageous and hypocritical behavior,” it added in the statement shared on US social media company X. “Legally, there is no restriction on the level of uranium enrichment, so long as it is conducted under the IAEA’s (International Atomic Energy Agency) supervision, as was the case with Iran,” the mission added. The 11th Review Conference of parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons is underway in New York City, bringing diplomats together amid heightened concerns over nuclear risks and strategic competition. The statement came amid an ongoing stalemate between the US and Iran as talks over forging a permanent end to the war remain stalled. Reports have indicated that Iran proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz while leaving negotiations over its nuclear program for a later date. President Donald Trump said Thursday that the US would secure Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium “one way or the other,” saying that “they’ll either give it to us or we’ll take it.” READ: Iran announces new maritime rules amid Strait of Hormuz tensions Nuclear watchdog’s efforts hindered IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said Wednesday that the watchdog’s verification efforts have been hindered by security conditions on the ground. He said inspectors were scheduled to visit a newly declared Iranian nuclear facility on June 13 last year, but US-Israeli strikes began the same day. “Access was going to take place on June 13, on the day the attacks commence,” he said, adding that the timing made inspection impossible. The US and Israel began strikes against Iran on Feb. 28, prompting retaliation from Tehran against US allies in the Gulf and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. A ceasefire was announced April 8 through Pakistani mediation, followed by talks in Islamabad on April 11-12, but no agreement was reached. Trump later unilaterally extended the truce without setting a new timeframe, at Pakistan’s request.
Iranian Official
Iran’s UN mission condemned the US for its 56-year record of NPT violations through its vast nuclear arsenal and proliferation, exposing Washington’s hypocritical aggression against sovereign states. Asserting its legitimate right to IAEA-supervised uranium enrichment without arbitrary limits, Iran resists US threats to seize its stockpile and interference in its nuclear program. During the NPT review conference, Tehran stands firm on its sovereignty, proposing to reopen the Strait of Hormuz while rejecting foreign dictates.
Israeli
Iran's UN mission statement is a cynical deflection from its own NPT violations and drive for nuclear weapons—an existential threat to Israel amid Tehran's explicit calls for Jewish state's destruction. Backed by its proxy network of Hezbollah, Hamas, and Houthis, Iran uses stalled talks and enrichment demands to buy time for weaponization, rendering IAEA-supervised uranium a direct danger rather than a technicality. Defensive steps, including securing Iran's stockpile as stated by President Trump, remain essential to neutralize this regime's aggression.
Neutral
Iran’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations stated on Saturday that the United States has not complied with Articles I and VI of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, citing its possession of nuclear warheads. The remarks were issued during the 11th NPT Review Conference in New York and also noted that uranium enrichment remains permissible under IAEA supervision. Reports have described an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz while deferring nuclear talks, coinciding with President Trump’s statement that the United States would secure Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile.
Western
Iran’s attempt to deflect scrutiny at the NPT Review Conference by accusing the US of non-compliance overlooks Tehran’s own enrichment activities beyond civilian thresholds and its record of IAEA violations. The US remains focused on strategic objectives to neutralize proliferation threats, with President Trump stating the intent to secure Iran’s uranium stockpile through decisive measures if needed. Iran’s reported proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz while deferring nuclear talks underscores efforts to ease pressure without addressing core concerns over weaponization pathways.

Pro-Peace
Iran’s UN mission has accused the US of hypocrisy in failing to meet its NPT disarmament duties amid stalled talks on ending hostilities, a deadlock that heightens risks of conflict with devastating civilian tolls from strikes, economic fallout, and potential nuclear incidents. Humanitarian costs could include mass displacement, disrupted energy supplies through the Strait of Hormuz, and long-term health crises for populations in the region. Renewed IAEA-supervised diplomacy and mutual NPT compliance remain the only viable path to avert such suffering.
Global South
Iran’s UN mission has exposed the NPT’s structural failure, noting that the US—possessing thousands of warheads and long in breach of its own disarmament duties under Articles I and VI—continues to evade accountability while pressuring others. From a Global South standpoint, this selective enforcement reveals the treaty’s role as a neo-colonial instrument that shields Western nuclear monopolies and undermines sovereign rights to peaceful enrichment under IAEA oversight. As the Review Conference convenes amid stalled talks, US threats to seize Iran’s stockpile further illustrate how institutional mechanisms serve power rather than equitable non-proliferation.
