The UN General Assembly on Tuesday approved a draft resolution proposed by the Islamic Republic of Iran on total nuclear disarmament amid strong opposition by the major powers.
The United States -- despite its display about a change in policy -- Britain, France, "Israel", and a number of Western countries voted against the resolution, but over 100 countries, including the non-nuclear members of the Non-Aligned Movement, voted for it.
The resolution was ratified in a session of the First Committee of the UN General Assembly held in New York on Tuesday, the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported.
This is the third time the resolution has been approved by the UN.
It was approved for the first time at the UN summit in 2005, when the issue of total nuclear disarmament was brought up by Iran's president.
The resolution calls on all nuclear powers to dismantle all their nuclear weapons.
The Zionist regime must also sign the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and allow its nuclear installations to come under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), part of the resolution says.
"Israel" is the only player in the Middle East that possesses a nuclear arsenal, and it is not a signatory to the NPT or any other international convention on nuclear weapons. And The Israeli entity has never allowed IAEA inspectors to visit its nuclear sites or arsenals.
