Iran proposes termination of all nuke arms after North Korean test

Reacting to the nuclear test of North Korea, Iran has suggested that all the world’s nuclear weapons should be destroyed. It has also said that all nations should be able to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.

Iran is under U.N. sanctions over its own nuclear program, which the United States and some of its allies suspect is aimed at developing an atomic weapons capability. Iran denies that charge and says its program is purely peaceful.
