Iranian Parliament Spokesman Says Iran Could Easily Withdraw from NPT
Abbas Goudarzi, spokesman for the presiding board of Iran's parliament, said Tehran could readily exit the Non-Proliferation Treaty and revise its nuclear doctrine, according to Mehr News.
Abbas Goudarzi, spokesman for the presiding board of Iran's parliament, said that trusting the United States amounts to accepting deception, according to a report published by Mehr News on September 13.
Goudarzi was quoted as saying that Iran could easily withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and that such a step is readily attainable for the country.
The remarks, as reported by Mehr News, also referenced the possibility of Iran revising its nuclear doctrine, though the report did not provide additional details on what such a revision might entail.
The NPT is an international agreement aimed at preventing the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons technology. Iran has been a signatory to the treaty, and its nuclear program has been the subject of ongoing international scrutiny and negotiations.
Mehr News did not elaborate further on the context of Goudarzi's statement or specify what prompted the comments. EGazette could not independently verify additional details beyond what was reported by the Iranian outlet.
