Ahmadinejad for 'Disarmament NPT'

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says Iran has accepted a nuclear fuel swap deal which would provide the country with fuel for a nuclear research reactor in Tehran.

Addressing the 2010 Review Conference of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) at the UN headquarters in New York on Monday, President Ahmadinejad said nuclear arms are "the most disgusting and shameful kind of weapons in the world."

He also noted that "possessing nuclear weapons is nothing to be proud of," criticizing the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for adopting a double standard toward nuclear-armed countries and those seeking nuclear energy.

"Those who used nuclear weapons for the first time in history are the most detested and disgraceful people in the world," he said.

He criticized the United Nations for its inability to establish sustainable security for the world against nuclear weapons.

President Ahmadinejad, who is the only head of state present at the summit, described as "hazardous" the production and stockpiling of nuclear weapons by world powers.

He stressed that nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation have not materialized, saying the US should be blamed for proliferation of nuclear weapons.

World powers, he said, should live up to their obligations under the NPT.
