Iran is campaigning for a key position on a UN committee that deals with disarmament and international security, an Iranian diplomat said.

On Tuesday, a spokesman for Iran's UN mission confirmed Tehran's bid to be the rapporteur of the UN General Assembly's First Committee for its 68th session due to begin in October.

The 193-member committee deals with all disarmament and international security issues, cooperation in the maintenance of international peace and security, as well as principles governing disarmament and the regulation of armaments.

For his part, the "Israeli" ambassador to the UN Ron Prosor expressed the opposition on behalf of the Zionist entity to Tehran's move.

This is while Iran is a committed signatory to the NPT and a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
