Overview
- The conference chair circulated a revised outcome draft Wednesday that adds a pledge to pursue a world without nuclear weapons.
- The new text drops a call for restraint on attacks against Iran’s nuclear sites and instead voices serious concern about strikes on any peaceful nuclear facilities.
- Language criticizing new nuclear‑sharing arrangements is watered down to simply note related discussions, a shift that reflects US and European preferences.
- Russia sought to remove references linked to North Korea’s nuclear activities, yet the draft still backs denuclearization of the North.
- Adoption remains uncertain because the NPT requires unanimity by May 22 and the last two review conferences failed to agree on a final document.
