The United Nations, in its infinite wisdom has appointed the Islamic Republic of Iran to serve as one of the 34 Vice Presidents of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Review Conference on Monday, which is set to review the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
The decision was made by a bloc of non-aligned and other states, typically composed of developing and non-nuclear countries.
BREAKING: The U.N. just elected the Islamic Republic of Iran as one of the Vice Presidents of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Review Conference.
Bravo to the U.S., UAE, Australia, UK, France and Germany for objecting.
Last time, only 🇺🇸 spoke out: https://t.co/bmhFp2gKEw https://t.co/Ije4bXbV7u pic.twitter.com/oqyR0ZlByC— UN Watch (@UNWatch) April 27, 2026
The position, thankfully, is purely procedural and involves assisting the conference president in organizing sessions, facilitating consensus on agenda items, and representing regional or political groups. It does not grant Iran any veto power or substantive decision-making authority.
The U.S., UAE, Australia, and the E3 (UK, France, and Germany) criticized the global body for appointing Iran despite its failure to comply with the NPT.Â
“We are deeply shocked that this body has chosen to allow Iran to assume any position of leadership at this review conference,” Mike Waltz, the U.S. Ambassador to the UN said.
Iran's ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency argued that it is the United States that has not adhered to the NPT.Â
“It is indefensible that the United States, as the only state ever to have used nuclear weapons, and the one that continues to expand and modernize its nuclear arsenal… seeks to position itself as an arbitrator of compliance,” Reza Najafi said.Â
He pointed to U.S. and Israeli strikes carried out during Operation Midnight Hammer and Epic Fury, describing them as attacks on “peaceful nuclear facilities, facilities that are under the safeguard of the International Atomic Energy Agency,” and characterizing them as “a direct assault on the integrity of the global non-proliferation.”

The UN has to go
That freaking garbage dump needs to be razed...
With everyone still inside...
34 VPs for one conference? Iran is one of them?
A two-fer in one sentence!
Get the US out of the UN.
We don’t need the them.
UN excels in fraud, criminality, and sex crimes - especially against children.
“Blue Heads” should be perforated.
I thought for sure this was the Babylon Bee.
“Get the US out of the UN.
We don’t need the them.”
No! Get the effing UN out of the US. Nuff said.
What a useless UN organization!
We should condemn the UN’s property, raze the structures and sell the property to the highest bidder. Deposit the proceeds into the U.S. Treasury.
The Bee is just killing it lately!
Sometimes one has to laugh instead of cry at the stupidity.
Disgusting, but not surprising.
We could raze the property or just kick everyone out nd remodel it into fantastic condos. I spent a dy there years ago as a guest of friend who worked there. The building is really beautiful, could be remodeled into high $$$$ condos with wonderful views of he city, the river, and, I think, TRUMP Tower. A great reminder.
Fox, meet henhouse.
Pot, meet kettle.
U.S. outta the U.N. U.N. outta the U.S. and turn their headquarters into senior housing.
You can’t make this stuff up!
UN-worthy of our time and tax dollars.
Even the UN has gone psychomullah now.
Use the UN building for something else.
We don’t need these fanatics in the US.
