US-Indian nuclear agreement violates the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty: Iran

[Naveed Yaseen]

TEHRAN: Deputy head of Iran's atomic energy department, Mohammad Saeedi has said the U.S.-Indian nuclear agreement violates the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, the official news agency quoted him as saying.

Saeedi says nuclear-armed India has not signed the treaty and that transferring nuclear technology to India would undermine it.

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice visited India on Saturday to commemorate – but not sign – the deal. U.S. officials say they will respect the non-proliferation treaty.
