๐ฅ Baqaei: Currently, we are members of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, and as long as we are members of this treaty, we are also aware of our obligations.
๐น The Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, in response to the question whether "the Foreign Ministry intends to use the parliamentary plan for a possible withdrawal from the Non-Proliferation Treaty as a diplomatic leverage to resist IAEA pressures?" said:
๐น This discussion is very serious and is being discussed in political and elite circles in Iran. As a member of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) since 1970, Iran, as a party that has fully complied with its obligations, has been subjected to the worst kind of military aggression; its scientists have been assassinated and its nuclear facilities have been subjected to sabotage attacks.
This is a serious question that if a country is going to participate in the Non-Proliferation Treaty, it should be able to utilize its benefits and enjoy its rights, instead of constantly being subject to pressure, threats, and sabotage military attacks.
This is a serious question. In general, the Foreign Ministry is also subject to the decision of the competent institutions in the country, but for now we are members of the Non-Proliferation Treaty and as long as we are members of this treaty, we are also aware of our duties.
