Iran is reviewing withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, citing international “bullying” amid ongoing conflict. Exit would remove restrictions on nuclear weapons development and end mandatory inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency. The move follows US-Israel strikes on nuclear facilities and reports of a US plan to seize Iranian uranium. Tehran insists its programme remains peaceful despite holding significant enriched uranium stockpiles. Experts warn leaving the treaty could heighten regional instability, weaken oversight, and trigger sanctions. The review reflects a broader policy shift but does not yet confirm a final withdrawal decision. (PC: X)
