US should be punished for n-threats,says Iran

Such threats should face swift reaction from the United Nations and termination of all cooperation of NPT member-states with the threatening aggressor state, Ahmadinejad said.

Delegations of the United States,Britain and France all walked out of the assembly chamber during the Iranian Presidents speech. The walkout came as Ahmadinejad charged that Israel threatened its neighbours with terror and invasion,and enjoyed unconditional support from the US.

Among the punishments that should be meted out to countries that use,or threaten to use,atomic weapons against other nations is suspension from the board of governors of the UN nuclear watchdog in Vienna, Ahmadinejad said.

Ahmadinejad called nuclear arms disgusting and shameful. He accused the US and its allies of using fears about proliferation as a pretext to deny developing nations access to nuclear technology for peaceful purposes in breach of the NPT.
