Iran: NPT No Longer Binds Us
Mohammadreza Mohseni-Sani, a member of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, said in comments to the Tehran-based outlet Didban Iran that Tehran no longer regards the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) as binding, "whether by remaining a party to it or withdrawing from it." Mohseni-Sani, who serves on the committee responsible for nuclear policy, had also said in March that a potential withdrawal bill could find strong support in parliament. Market observers note that a formal withdrawal filing could trigger a session at the UN Security Council and could hasten action by Israel and the US against enrichment facilities, but that a single lawmaker's remark is, for now, no more than noise.
