“We just heard an extremely inflammatory statement by the last speaker,” an Iranian diplomat says. “I do not want to dignify such unfounded accusations with an answer other than categorically reject them all. He tried to mislead this august body, but unlike last year, without cartoon drawings.”

Says “he tried to be more royal than the king,” by laying out Iran’s nuclear program, but he must know that Iran is fully committed to its right to a nuclear program under the Nonproliferation Treaty.

“The one that badly needs to be educated is Israel, which is the only non-party to the NPT and Israel has no choice but to accede to the NPT.”
