Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Esmail Baghaei, indicated that the Islamic Republic is contemplating withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Baghaei stated that the Iranian people question why other parties find new justifications for Iran's peaceful nuclear program, despite Iran's consistent efforts to demonstrate its benign nature. He referenced a fatwa issued by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, which prohibits the development of military nuclear capabilities, noting that this prohibition did not prevent Khamenei's death from an alleged US-Israeli strike. Baghaei reiterated that Iran's program remains peaceful, but international accusations of a military nature fuel internal discussions about leaving the NPT. However, he clarified that Iran currently considers itself bound by the treaty's terms at the state leadership level. Meanwhile, Iranian parliament deputy Mohammad Motamedizadeh urged an increase in missile range, a review of nuclear doctrine, and the commencement of nuclear weapons development. Motamedizadeh also cited a statement by Mojtaba Khomeinei regarding countering threats of any level as evidence of a shift in nuclear doctrine.
