Nine bills relating to Iran's withdrawal from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) are on the agenda of the Majlis (unicameral parliament), Deputy Mujtaba Zunur announced.
"The Majles must carefully examine this issue [the nine draft laws on withdrawing from the NPT. TASS reference] and make a decision regarding the continuation of Iran's participation in this treaty," he said in an interview with the "Mahar" news agency.
According to the legislator, the question of whether the Islamic nation should reconsider its membership in the NPT has gained more urgency than ever, considering that information about its nuclear facilities, obtained through inspections, is being used against it; IAEA inspectors act, in practice, as a tool for identifying possible targets for attacks.
