        "summary": "The United States and Iran engaged in a heated dispute at the United Nations during the 11th Review Conference of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, where the US condemned Iran's election as one of the conference's vice-presidents as an insult to the treaty. US official Christopher Yeaw accused Iran of long-standing disregard for non-proliferation commitments and lack of cooperation with UN nuclear watchdogs, while Iran's ambassador Reza Najafi dismissed the remarks as politically motivated, highlighting the US's own history of nuclear weapon use. This confrontation underscores ongoing tensions in the US-Israel-Iran conflict, with Iran insisting its uranium enrichment is for peaceful purposes despite Western concerns over potential weapon development.",
        "content": "<p>The United States (US) and Iran clashed at the United Nations (UN)\nforum over Tehran\u2019s nuclear programme. The US protested Iran\u2019s election\nas one of dozens of vice-presidents in the month-long conference to\nreview the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).<\/p>\n<p>The 11th conference to review the implementation of the NPT, which\nentered into force in 1970, as reported by Reuters on Tuesday\n(28\/4\/2026), began on Monday (27\/4) local time at the UN headquarters in\nNew York, US.<\/p>\n<p>Various groups nominated 34 vice-presidents for the conference, with\nthe conference chair, Vietnam\u2019s UN Ambassador Do Hung Viet, stating that\nIran was selected by \u201cthe group of non-aligned countries and other\ncountries\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>US Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Arms Control and\nNon-Proliferation, Christopher Yeaw, said at the conference that Iran\u2019s\nelection was an \u201cinsult\u201d to the NPT.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that \u201cit is undeniable that Iran has long shown contempt\nfor its NPT non-proliferation commitments\u201d and has refused to cooperate\nwith the UN\u2019s nuclear watchdog to resolve questions about Tehran\u2019s\nnuclear programme.<\/p>\n<p>Yeaw described Iran\u2019s election as \u201ca highly embarrassing matter that\ntarnishes the credibility of this conference\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>At the same conference, Iran\u2019s Ambassador to the International Atomic\nEnergy Agency (IAEA), Reza Najafi, rejected the US statement as\n\u201cbaseless and politically motivated\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is unjustifiable that the United States, as the only country that\nhas ever used nuclear weapons, and a country that continues to expand\nand modernise its nuclear arsenal\u2026 seeks to position itself as an\narbiter of compliance,\u201d Najafi said.<\/p>\n<p>The nuclear issue has been at the core of the war raging between the\nUS and Israel against Iran, with President Donald Trump reiterating on\nSunday (26\/4) that Tehran will never have nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n<p>Iran has long demanded that the US recognise its right to enrich\nuranium, which Tehran claims is only pursued for peaceful purposes.\nHowever, Western powers worry that it could be used to make nuclear\nweapons.<\/p>\n<p>Iran has repeatedly insisted that it is not seeking nuclear weapons.\nBut the IAEA and Washington\u2019s intelligence community have separately\nassessed that Tehran had a nuclear weapons development programme that\nwas shut down in 2003.<\/p>",
