WANA (Mar 28) – The issue of Iran potentially exiting the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) has entered the country’s official agenda.

 

Relevant bodies in Iran, including the Islamic Consultative Assembly (Parliament), are urgently reviewing the matter.

 

A growing consensus within the country suggests that there is no justification for remaining in the NPT.

 

Under the NPT, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is supposed to ensure the protection of Iran’s rights to peaceful nuclear technology.

 

However, Iranian officials argue that IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi has implicitly encouraged adversaries to exploit nuclear capabilities against Iran’s facilities.

 

Coupled with repeated attacks on Iranian installations by U.S. and Israeli forces without IAEA intervention or condemnation, Tehran sees no rationale for staying in the treaty.

 

Iran emphasizes that withdrawal from the NPT does not mean pursuing nuclear weapons. Instead, it is aimed at preventing continued espionage by the U.S. and Israel under the guise of IAEA inspections.
