🔸 The Assembly of Experts for Leadership on Thursday, 21 Aban, in a statement, called for the review of the issue of Iran’s withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

🔸 The statement, which was released, says that “reviewing the issue of withdrawal from the NPT, revising the country’s defensive doctrine, and creating the necessary deterrence has become an unavoidable necessity and has turned into a public and national demand.”

🔸 The demand for Iran’s withdrawal from the NPT in recent weeks has been raised repeatedly by some officials, media outlets, and official institutions in Iran, including Tehran’s Friday prayer leader and some members of parliament.

🔸 In this regard, Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of the Islamic Republic of Iran, on 9 Aban said that a change in Iran’s nuclear doctrine in the event of a new war in the government is being considered, but, as he said, no official decision has been made in this regard so far.

🔸 Esmail Baqaei, the spokesperson of Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, also on Monday, 11 Aban, emphasized that the Islamic Republic remains committed to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
