Iran has legal right to leave NPT: Lawmaker
Iran has the legal right to withdraw from the nuclear Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons – based on its Article 10 – following US strikes on three nuclear facilities, Abbas Golroo, head of the parliament foreign policy committee, says.
Article 10 states that an NPT member has “the right to withdraw from the Treaty if it decides that extraordinary events have jeopardized the supreme interests of its country”.
NPT is a landmark international treaty aimed at preventing the spread of nuclear weapons and promoting the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. It was opened for signature on July 1, 1968, and entered into force on March 5, 1970.
Well done Trump.
