WANA (Mar 28) – A bill titled “Support for the Nuclear Rights of the Iranian Nation” has been introduced to the Islamic Consultative Assembly with triple urgency and referred to the Legal Affairs Department for further review.

 

According to parliamentary sources, Malek Shariati, a member of parliament representing Tehran, announced that the proposal is built on three main pillars: Iran’s withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, repeal of the law on reciprocal measures in implementing the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, and support for forming new international agreements with allied countries—including members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and BRICS—to advance peaceful nuclear technologies.

 

Meanwhile, Fadahossein Maleki, a member of the Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, strongly criticized recent remarks by Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Referring to Grossi’s comments about the possibility of a nuclear attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities, Maleki described them as “provocative” and “in violation of international norms.”

 

He stated that Grossi’s approach—before negotiations, during conflicts, and afterward—has not contributed to de-escalation but has instead intensified tensions. According to Maleki, such positions may be politically motivated and aimed at gaining favor with certain international actors, including Donald Trump.

 

Maleki also criticized the IAEA’s performance regarding threats against Iran’s nuclear facilities, arguing that the agency has played no effective role in preventing potential attacks or managing recent crises.

 

Highlighting the current geopolitical context, he added that while the United States and Israel—both believed to possess nuclear weapons—operate outside certain oversight frameworks, Iran, despite adhering to its commitments under the NPT, has not received adequate support and has instead faced increased pressure.

 

He concluded by describing the current situation as an “opportune moment” for Iran to reconsider its international commitments, stressing the need for diplomatic and legal follow-up by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, and other relevant institutions.

 

Grossi recently stated that “no war can completely eliminate Iran’s nuclear capabilities unless it becomes a nuclear war,” expressing hope that such a scenario would never occur. His remarks have sparked widespread reactions across political and media circles, and the new parliamentary bill appears to be unfolding within this broader context.
