Iran Warns of NPT Withdrawal if Nuclear Sites Face Attack

TEHRAN, Nov 6 (OPA) — Ebrahim Azizi, head of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, issued the warning amid ongoing regional tensions. He stated that Tehran remains entirely indifferent to whether Democrats or Republicans hold power in Washington, viewing both parties' foreign policies toward Iran as fundamentally aligned against its interests.

Azizi explicitly linked any potential military strike against Iranian nuclear infrastructure to immediate policy shifts in Tehran. He emphasized that an attack on these facilities would trigger a serious push inside the country to exit the NPT and fundamentally revise the nation's broader nuclear approach.

The official remarks underline the hardening stance of Iranian legislators regarding the country's atomic program as international scrutiny persists. Tehran has repeatedly maintained that its nuclear activities are strictly for peaceful purposes, while warning against external military intervention.

Parliamentary committees in Iran often lead the rhetorical response to perceived external threats, signaling potential legislative measures to the executive branch. The latest comments reinforce the domestic political consensus in Tehran to respond decisively to any breach of its sovereign nuclear sites.
