Bakhshish Ardestani, member of the National Security Committee: There is a possibility of direct negotiations between Iran and the US / withdrawal from the NPT conveys the message that we are heading towards a nuclear bomb / the situation of "no war, no negotiations" must end. The issue of withdrawing from the NPT is that such a decision creates the perception in the international space that Iran intends to move towards the production of nuclear weapons. There is even a possibility that countries like Russia and China will face Iran in such a situation. Perhaps direct negotiations between Iran and America will take place in Qatar or Turkey. We must put an end to the situation of neither war nor negotiation.
