The United States and Israel's war on Iran is undermining the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), which states party to the NPT are meeting in New York for a five-year review of its function. The review conference, which began under the shadow of the US and Israel’s war against Iran, begins under the influence of the war. The NPT, which entered into force in 1970, is the central agreement through which most states accepted the current nuclear order. Non-nuclear-weapon states (including Iran), including Iran, have agreed never to acquire nuclear weapons and have agreed to curb the spread of nuclear weapons, and also to pursue the disarmament of their own nuclear stockpiles. All parties to the treaty retain the right to pursue peaceful nuclear technology under safeguards overseen by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). However, Iran's case raises an uncomfortable question: Does NPT membership offer any protection for its non-nuclear weapon states? This coercive approach to resolving concerns about nuclear activities is damaging the treaty, particularly in light of the IAEA's assessment of Iran's unresolved safeguards issues and accumulation of uranium enriched far beyond civilian needs.
