1st LD: Iran not to let secrets of country be revealed under NPT additional protocol: president

Xinhua, June 13, 2015 Adjust font size:

Iran will not allow secrets of country to be revealed with the implementation of Non-Proliferation Treaty's (NPT) additional protocol, which allows snap checks on nuclear facilities, Iran's President Hassan Rouhani said here on Saturday.

Iran will voluntarily implement NPT's additional protocol to enhance the transparency of Iran's nuclear activities like other countries that have accepted the protocol, Rouhani said, adding that "however, Iran will not allow the military and technological secrets of the country to be accessed by others under the pretext of this protocol."

By agreeing to the additional protocol, Iran shows serious intention to prove to the world that the accusations of the country pursuing nuclear bombs are baseless, he added.

The International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) reports over the past decade also showed no diversion of Iran's nuclear program towards weapon-grade activities, he said. Endit
