Overview
- Iran’s foreign ministry, which said Monday that parliament is weighing withdrawal from the Nuclear Non‑Proliferation Treaty, reiterated that Tehran says it does not seek nuclear weapons.
- Officials cast the review as a response to assaults on nuclear sites, noting the Atomic Energy Organization confirmed a projectile struck the Bushehr power plant on Friday.
- Reports from Iranian outlets say several state bodies are urgently studying exit options, and senior lawmakers claim most members of parliament now favor leaving the pact.
- A priority bill posted to the parliament’s online portal would also revoke a law that enforced nuclear curbs tied to the 2015 deal and back a new cooperation track with like‑minded states.
- Any withdrawal law would still require approval from the 12‑member Guardian Council, and analysts say leaving would reduce mandatory IAEA inspections and likely draw fresh sanctions and regional pushback.
