Araghchi’s remarks show growing concern in Tehran over what it sees as Western double standards in nuclear diplomacy.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi posted on X to sharply criticize Western nations, particularly the U.S. and three European powers, for what he called their “conspicuous silence” on Israel’s nuclear weapons program, adding that such silence undermines their credibility on non-proliferation.
Araghchi: "Iran has long warned that Western exaggeration over nuclear expansion in the region is entirely artificial.”
“It’s not about the existence or expansion of nuclear arsenals,” he wrote, Iran Press reported.
“It’s about who is allowed scientific progress, even if it’s for peaceful nuclear programs.”
