Iran, Monday 06 Oct 2008: Iran on Sunday warned that the Indo-US nuclear deal has “endangered” the Non-proliferation Treaty, and will trigger a “new crisis” for the international community.
“The method used by several nuclear states to transfer the technology to non-members of the Non-proliferation Treaty, will create new crisis for the international community,” Deputy head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organisation Mohammad Saeedi said.
He said that “privileges” to India that is not a member of NPT would endanger the treaty.
According to the NPT, only signatories to the treaty can make use of the rights mentioned in the treaty, Saeedi noted.
“Cooperation in the area of transfer of nuclear technology to the NPT non-members will endanger the treaty,” he said, adding that although India is enjoying nuclear weapons, it is not a signatory to the NPT.
Both houses of the US Congress voted in favour of the landmark nuclear deal this week and President George W Bush is expected to sign it into law on Wednesday.

The statement of our PM when he was in France against Iran to please America gave room for such a statement from Iran. More over the nuclear deal which is bound by Hide Act which is deadly against Iran, naturally provoke that country which was very close to India .The much needed Iran.. Pak.India gas pipe line will remain in the pipeline.Manmohan Sing and Soniya Gandhi need nuclear energy which will be only 7% even in 2020 according to Nutwar Sing our ex foreign minister!. We are converting our tested friends as our arch enemies. Our foreign policy in peril.
