ALWAGHT- Iran’s top security official has reaffirmed that Tehran’s nuclear program remains oriented toward non-weaponization, while warning that escalating US and Israeli pressure could lead the country to consider withdrawing from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT).
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei said Tehran continues to adhere to its existing nuclear doctrine and remains committed to the religious ruling prohibiting nuclear weapons. At the same time, he said Iran could consider leaving the NPT, with any decision influenced by Washington’s actions.
Rezaei said Iran has also communicated its conditions for ending the war through Qatari and Pakistani mediators. These include a cessation of hostilities, the unfreezing of Iranian assets, and an end to the naval blockade, while warning that Tehran is prepared for further military confrontation if the United States resumes attacks.
His remarks came as tensions over Iran’s nuclear program intensified following an IAEA Board of Governors resolution referring the matter to the UN Security Council over alleged safeguards violations. Russia and China opposed the move, while Tehran has maintained that military attacks and limitations on access to its nuclear facilities have hindered the IAEA’s inspection activities.
