"Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: The question of our public opinion is, what is the benefit of being a member of a document that the bully parties at the international level do not allow us to use the benefits and rights associated with it?

Our clear position is to ban any weapons of mass destruction, and this is due to the destructive approach of the International Atomic Energy Agency and some countries."

Context
