Iran Blames US for Collapse of UN Nuclear Talks

Iran accused the United States of causing the collapse of a four-week United Nations conference on the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. The talks ended without agreement as tensions between the US and Iran over Iran's nuclear program intensified. Vietnam's UN Ambassador announced no consensus was reached, marking the third consecutive failure in UN efforts to secure agreement on the treaty.

Iran's foreign ministry directly blamed the United States for the breakdown of negotiations, citing longstanding disagreements over Iran's nuclear program. The conference, held at the United Nations in New York, aimed to review the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty but failed to produce even a watered-down final document. Vietnam's UN Ambassador, Do Hung Viet, stated that no consensus was achieved among the 191 parties to the treaty.
