Iranian MP says US held in contempt
A senior Iranian lawmaker says the United States is held in contempt for its status as the only country to have used nuclear weapons in the past. Chairman of Iran's parliamentary (Majlis) Committee on National Security and Foreign Policy Alaeddin Boroujerdi said Wednesday that Washington should apologize for its failure to abide by its obligations under international law and the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). He noted that Iran's sharp criticism against Washington's lack of commitment has further intensified “the global wave of revulsion and disdain” against US policies.
