‘US unfit to lead nuclear
disarmament’
PRESS TV – Tehran has lashed out at the US, noting that it is the only country that has used nuclear weapons to massacre hundreds of thousands in Japan and is also the key supporter of the nuke-armed Israeli regime while still purporting to advocate global nuclear disarmament. In a post on X — formerly Twitter — on Sunday, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani seriously questioned Washington’s competence for leading calls for the elimination of weapons of mass, marking the 78th anniversary of the US atomic bombing of the Japanese city of Hiroshima that killed nearly 140,000 people.
