00:00The United States and Iran clash at the United Nations over Tehran's nuclear program and its
00:06selection to be one of dozens of vice presidents to review the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
00:11U.S. Bureau of Arms Control and Non-Proliferation Assistant Secretary Christopher Yeo says
00:15Iran's selection was an affront to the NPT. He adds it is indisputable that Iran has long
00:20shown disregard for the non-proliferation commitments of the NPT. He also refuses
00:25to cooperate with the UN nuclear watchdog to resolve questions about its program.
00:30Meantime, a U.S. official says President Donald Trump is unhappy with an Iranian proposal
00:34because it did not address Iran's nuclear program. Iranian sources said the proposal would delay
00:40talks on Iran's nuclear program until the war has ended and disputes over shipping from the Gulf are
00:45resolved. But Washington says nuclear issues must be dealt with from the outset.
