Iran calls for total nuclear disarmament in Nagasaki
TEHRAN, Feb. 28 (MNA) -- All nations should rise up to turn the idea of global nuclear disarmament into reality, the Iranian parliament speaker said in Nagasaki on Saturday.
Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani made the remarks after visiting the Nagasaki National Peace Memorial Hall, where he paid tribute to the victims of the U.S. atomic bombing of the city in 1945 during the World War II.
He praised the Japanese government for building the memorial hall and added that it will always serve as a painful reminder of the horrendous atrocities the United States has committed.
The United States has committed more crimes than any other country in history, and unfortunately, even though the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the United States never changed its policies toward other nations, he noted.
And there is evidence that the U.S. has used depleted uranium weapons during the war in Iraq, he added.
Larijani said the Nagasaki museum shows that even one nuclear weapon is a grave peril to the world and added that Islam and the Islamic Republic forbid the use of all weapons of mass destruction such as chemical and nuclear weapons.
He expressed regret that other countries, like France, the United Kingdom, Russia, and China, also joined the nuclear arms race and voiced concern over the fact that the Zionist regime possesses hundreds of nuclear warheads.
The Majlis speaker urged all nations to rise up to advance the cause of nuclear disarmament and added that Tehran will be hosting an international conference on nuclear disarmament in two months.
A number of major international figures and nuclear experts from various countries have been invited to attend the Tehran conference on nuclear disarmament.
Iran has announced that all countries should make a commitment to nuclear disarmament and to eradicating all weapons of mass destruction around the globe.
