Iran announced consideration of a possible withdrawal from the NPT

The Iranian parliament will consider a proposal on the withdrawal of the Islamic Republic from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). This was announced by Ali Nikzad, Deputy Speaker of the country's legislature.

"The draft on withdrawal from the NPT is under consideration. After its official introduction, it will be reviewed on the same day," the Fars news agency quoted Nikzad as saying on the Telegram channel.

The politician clarified that during the discussion, Iranian lawmakers intend to study in detail the international aspects and possible consequences of such a step.

The preparation of the initiative is related to the critical position of the Iranian authorities towards the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Nikzad stressed that the parliament does not trust the organization and its current head, Rafael Grossi.
