In a move that could shake the global diplomatic landscape, Iran’s Foreign Ministry announced Monday that its parliament is working on a bill that could see the country leave the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
Speaking to reporters, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei made it clear that this proposal is being seriously considered, though he also emphasized that Iran continues to stand firmly against the development of weapons of mass destruction.
While the announcement doesn’t mean Iran is immediately pulling out of the treaty, which aims to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, it signals mounting frustration in Tehran — likely linked to ongoing tensions over sanctions and nuclear negotiations.
For many watching, the message is layered: Iran wants the world to know it’s reaching a breaking point, but it’s also trying to reassure that its intentions aren’t about building bombs, but about asserting sovereignty and fairness in global nuclear policy.
The coming weeks will reveal whether this bill gains momentum — and how the international community will respond to this bold potential pivot.
