The Iranian diplomat described the launch of a new generation of intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of carrying several nuclear warheads called M51 by the French Navy completely incompatible with Article 6 of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and France’s commitment to nuclear disarmament.
