Credit: Reuters/Chip East UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Terming nuclear weapons "disgusting and shameful," Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday urged the United Nations to punish countries like the United States that threaten to use them. World | Barack Obama In keeping with past practice during annual U.N. General Assembly gatherings, the delegations of the United States, Britain, France, Germany and others walked out of the assembly chamber during the Iranian president's fiery speech. "The possession of nuclear arms is not a source of pride," he said at the start of a month-long meeting of the 189 signatories of the 1970 nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). "It is rather disgusting and shameful. And even more shameful is the threat to use, or to use such weapons." Ahmadinejad called for "considering any threat to use nuclear weapons or attack against peaceful nuclear facilities as a breach of international peace and security." States making such threats should face "swift reaction" from the United Nations and be ostracized by NPT members. The walkout came as Ahmadinejad charged that Israel threatened its neighbors with "terror and invasion," and enjoyed unconditional support from Washington and its allies. Israel, like nuclear-armed India and Pakistan, never signed the NPT. It is presumed to have a sizable nuclear arsenal but neither confirms nor denies its existence. North Korea withdrew from it in 2003 and tested nuclear devices in 2006 and 2009. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said the U.S. and other delegations left due to "a series of wild accusations." Among the punishments that should be meted out to countries that use, or threaten to use, atomic weapons against other nations is suspension from the board of governors of the U.N. nuclear watchdog in Vienna, Ahmadinejad said. NUCLEAR FUEL DEAL The United States' so-called nuclear posture review, which was released last month, reduces the role of atomic weapons in U.S. defense policy but does not rule out their use against countries like Iran and North Korea that are considered to be NPT violators. Both the United States and Israel have suggested that they could use military force against Iranian nuclear facilities, which they suspect are part of a covert atomic weapons program. Iran denies pursuing atomic weapons and insists its nuclear ambitions are limited to peacefully generating electricity. The Iranian president did not mention his country's uranium enrichment program, which Tehran has refused to suspend, prompting the U.N. Security Council to impose three rounds of sanctions on Iran. The United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China are now discussing possible new sanctions. In his speech, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged Ahmadinejad to accept a U.N.-backed nuclear fuel offer that Iran accepted in October but later balked at. Ban called the deal "an important confidence-building measure." Ahmadinejad denied rejecting the deal, saying: "To us, it is an accepted deal." He added that the ball was not in Iran's court but the West's. He also accused the United States and its allies of using fears about proliferation as a pretext to deny developing nations access to nuclear technology for peaceful purposes in breach of the NPT. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was scheduled to speak later on Monday. Last week she said the Iranian president might not receive a very warm welcome in New York City and said that Iran's record of violating the NPT was "indisputable." Clinton was expected to highlight a reversal in U.S. nuclear policy since President Barack Obama came to power last year. Obama has made both non-proliferation and disarmament priorities in his foreign policy. His predecessor George W. Bush repudiated arms reduction pledges Washington and the four other official nuclear powers made at the 2000 NPT conference. The United States, Britain, France, China and Russia -- the permanent Security Council members -- were allowed to keep their nuclear weapons under the NPT but pledged to launch negotiations on scrapping their arsenals. Non-nuclear weapon states complain that the five have not done enough to disarm.

We don’t need another cold war, and it’s just plain childish. We’re all grown ups and we need to start acting like it, and stop having an insane amount of hypocrisy and double standards when it comes to our foreign policy. Fleetfoxx Report As Abusive May 03, 2010 1:46pm EDT “hypocrisy and double standards” Not so much. This guy is insane and we (the sane) keep them in check. By defacto standard we are the world’s police, like it or not. FuriousP Report As Abusive May 03, 2010 2:09pm EDT He, nor the leadership of Iran, are insane, it is such hyperbolic rhetoric that degrades the debate. True, that by defacto the US is the world policeman (although that role is seriously waning with the rise of China and India and the decline of US economic dominance) but not only Iran is finding this out but Israel too- a government and a state that has consistently shown to be quite irrational, the president of Israel just recently forgot who is boss in the region, for a minute there it thought IT was – too bad. BBP Report As Abusive May 03, 2010 2:15pm EDT > In keeping with past practice during annual General Assembly gatherings, the delegations of the United States, Britain and France all walked out of the assembly chamber during the Iranian president’s speech. This kind of practice is shameful. They act like small kids refusing to negociate & align exchange. Their opponent is maybe not the best, but the less they can do would be to fullfill the post why they are paid for. Diplomacy, not 3-monkey gaming. alex23 Report As Abusive May 03, 2010 2:49pm EDT Would somebody like to claim that Israel does not threaten its neighbors with “terror and invasion”? After all, it regularly terrorizes both Palestinians and Lebanese, also threatens and attacks Syria, and threatens Iran implicitly with its nuclear weapons (”all options are on the tabled”). The US regularly makes thinly veiled threats of using nuclear weapons against Iran (again, “all options are on the table”). The hypocrisy of the US, England and France is overwhelming. The world needs nuclear the threat of nuclear arms to be reduced, and even eliminated. Getting rid of Israel’s nukes needs to be a the top of the list. Walking out of meetings aimed at this is just plain stupid! xcanada2 Report As Abusive May 03, 2010 2:57pm EDT Let’s twist ‘and calls on those with atomic warheads to abandon them.’ the Mid-Eastern way: abandon them, like bouncing babies, animals, the aged, the destitute and orphans. These are Warm Wars, there is no more cold, people are hot under the collar. He is just causing trouble, they already have a bomb, most probably an H-Bomb, everybody does. The UN should move to the Sao Tome and Principe dipole, it is too much for one nation to bear. Ghandiolfini Report As Abusive May 03, 2010 3:37pm EDT The US does not want even to discuss (to tell nothing about to object) Israeli nuclear forces which are the real mebnace to international peace. The conference in New York must address this menace urgently and fully. Heretic1 Report As Abusive May 03, 2010 4:06pm EDT I don’t agree with the actions of the US. They need to be more open and do as they are told by Isreal. RickyX Report As Abusive May 03, 2010 4:09pm EDT These diplomats that walk out are an absolute disgrace. Our tax dollars pay for this behaviour? It’s not diplomacy if you don’t even listen to the other sides point of view!! Damn that makes me angry. International diplomacy in action. What a joke. It’s a slap in the face of Iranian citizens, and it’s a slap in the face of all of us who bear the burden of war. Call me whacky but I want my government to find diplomatic solutions to problems, for the benefit of all. I don’t want my government to act like a petulant child and risk the slaughter of women and children. It’s all just a game to these elite untouchable scumbags.
