Iran Elected Vice-President at NPT Conference Amid Ongoing Nuclear Program Disputes

Iran has been elected as one of 34 vice-presidents at the 11th Review Conference of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) held at the United Nations in New York. The nomination came from the non-aligned group. While Iran joined the NPT in 1968, its nuclear program has drawn international concern due to uranium enrichment levels up to 60% and limited access for IAEA inspectors. Iran maintains its program is peaceful, but past assessments have suggested prior weapons development, contributing to ongoing tensions.
