Iran’s Islamic Consultative Assembly’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee spokesperson, Ebrahim Rezaei, has indicated that Iran may withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). In a post on social media platform X on March 28, 2026, Rezaei stated that Iran has gained no benefit from the treaty and that it has failed to protect the country from attacks. He argued that Iran’s nuclear facilities have repeatedly been targeted despite international agreements.

Rezaei reaffirmed that Iran has no intention of developing nuclear weapons and that its policy on this issue remains unchanged. He criticized the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency for making what he called a “provocative and dangerous” remark about Iran’s nuclear program. Rezaei also pointed out that while the United States has withdrawn from 60 international organizations and treaties, any Iranian withdrawal from the NPT would likely face Western opposition.

Rezaei concluded that the time has come for Iran to leave the treaty, signaling a potential shift in Tehran’s nuclear policy direction.
