Kamyar Baharang, a member of the editorial staff of Iran International, referring to the Assembly of Experts’ statement about the possibility of the Islamic Republic leaving the NPT, said that this threat would not only not restore the deterrence lost by the government, but could also provide an excuse to build global consensus against the Islamic Republic.

He also emphasized that threats against Arab countries and their infrastructure push these countries, more than ever, to strengthen defense cooperation with the United States and Israel, making the outlook for any negotiation with the Islamic Republic more difficult.
