Tehran : Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Wednesday criticised the new US nuclear doctrine that excludes the Islamic republic from the list of non-atomic states against which the use of nuclear arms is prohibited.
The 50-page “Nuclear Posture Review” (NPR) released Tuesday, purportedly restricts the US from using nuclear arms against some non-nuclear countries.
The Iranian leader claimed the new US doctrine was adopted under pressure from the Israeli groups.
Ahmadinejad advised his US counterpart not to repeat the “past mistakes” of the previous US governments, Iran’s Press TV reported.
“I advise Obama to be careful. If he tries to follow in the footsteps of (George W.) Bush, the response of the nations will be the same crushing
response they gave to Bush,” Ahmadinejad told a gathering in the northwestern city of Orumiyeh.
“We don’t want Obama to suffer the same fate as Bush did. He must watch his behaviours and remarks,” he added.
Reportedly, as per the new doctrine countries that do not comply with non-proliferation treaties would be at risk of a possible nuclear attack.
The US has repeatedly accused Iran of failing to meet its obligations defined in the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT) – an allegation denied
by Tehran.
