英语文摘：Iran fails to speak about nuclear obligations it won't live up to: White House

WASHINGTON, May 3 (Xinhua) -- The White House said on Monday that Iran failed to speak about the obligations that it will not live up to at the ongoing Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference.

"I think the speech that you heard today was predictable in that Iran failed to speak about the obligations that it won't live up to," said White House spokesman Robert Gibbs, referring to the speech given by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

"I think rightly, our delegation and many others left as a series of wild accusations were made during the speech," he said.

Gibbs said Ahmadinejad's speech showed Iran is further isolated from the international community and the U.S. will continue to seek sanctions on this country.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday lambasted the U. S. for failing to live up to its commitments towards nuclear disarmament.

"The government of the United States, which is the main suspect in the production, stockpiling and use and threat of the use of nuclear weapons insists to assume the leadership role in reviewing the NPT," he said. "The United States has never respected any of its commitments."

The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference started on Monday at the UN headquarters in New York.
