WANA (Jul 27) – The spokesperson for the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of Iran’s Parliament has announced that a proposal is under consideration which would obligate the government to withdraw from the Treaty on the Non‑Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) if Western countries activate the so‑called “snapback” mechanism.

 

Ebrahim Rezaei, spokesperson for the Commission, told reporters that the body has begun examining a significant draft bill. According to him, at the commission’s recent meeting, members discussed the potential consequences should the remaining participants in the JCPOA—especially the European “troika” members—trigger the snapback mechanism.

 

Rezaei stated that a majority of the commission’s members proposed that, in the event of such activation by Western nations, the Islamic Republic of Iran’s government would be required to exit the NPT.

 

He added that this draft is now formally on the commission’s agenda and is undergoing drafting and review.

 

The commission’s spokesperson also reported that, in the same session, members reviewed a separate proposal to “Strengthen Iran’s Border Guard.” This discussion included representatives from the Armed Forces General Staff, the Army, the Border Patrol of the Law Enforcement Force, the Parliament’s Research Center, and other relevant bodies.

 

Rezaei noted that, following expert deliberations, it was decided to refer the Border Guard proposal to the commission’s Defense Committee for more detailed study, after which it will be brought back to the full commission for further consideration
