Backfired all the way
Iran likely to exit NPT in coming weeks
Foad Izadi, the professor at the University of Tehran, told Al Jazeera that Iran has been cooperating with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) because it is a member of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, but this collaboration has not benefitted Tehran.
So, Iran is likely to use Article 10 of the treaty, which allows countries to leave it, “in the coming days and weeks”, he said. “You don’t have to be a member of that treaty, there are many countries that are not a member. Israel, for example, is not a member,” Izadi noted.
“And Iran doesn’t have to be there, given the fact that Iranian nuclear sites that were under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency, that were under the monitoring of International Atomic Energy Agency, were attacked, which is against international law,” he said.
“You’re not supposed to attack these sites, especially the sites that are being monitored all the time. So being a member of NPT has not benefitted Iran. And the majority of parliament wants to leave that treaty. I think that issue will be debated in Iran in the next few days,” he added.
