Iranian President Hassan Rouhani calls for a nuclear weapons free zone (NWFZ) in the Middle East

Iranian President Calls for End to Nuclear Weapons Worldwide

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani called for the elimination of all nuclear weapons during a nuclear disarmament meeting at the United Nations. He invoked the U.S. nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and said there are no "right hands" for nuclear weapons to be in.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani: "Almost four decades of international effort to establish a nuclear weapons free zone in the Middle East has regrettably failed. Urgent practical steps toward the establishment of such a zone are necessary. Israel, the only non party to the Non Proliferation Treaty in this region, should join there too without any further delay."
