   Iran Parliament Drafts Bill to Exit Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty

   Iran is advancing toward a potential exit from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty as parliamentary officials draft a fast-track bill to leave the pact. Deputy Parliament Speaker Ali Nikzad announced the legislative move, citing a deep lack of trust in the UN nuclear watchdog and its director general, Rafael Grossi. While multiple Iranian statements confirm Tehran is weighing a withdrawal, four official statements stress the country has not sought and will not seek nuclear weapons. The diplomatic standoff intensifies as converging international sanctions, economic pressures, and military threats deepen the regional crisis.

   Why it matters

   The push to exit the international treaty follows a decision by the UN nuclear watchdog to report Tehran to the UN Security Council for the first time in 20 years, a vote secured by the United States. Tensions have mounted as satellite imagery reveals repair work at the Isfahan nuclear facility following previous airstrikes. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump rejected an Iranian proposal regarding the Strait of Hormuz, claiming Tehran is losing badly.

   What is confirmed

   • Iran has drafted a parliamentary bill proposing withdrawal from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
   • Ali Nikzad, Deputy Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, stated that lawmakers do not trust the UN nuclear watchdog or Director General Rafael Grossi.
   • U.S. President Donald Trump rejected Iran's seven-day roadmap proposal regarding the Strait of Hormuz.
   • Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Tehran is awaiting an official response from Washington regarding its Strait of Hormuz proposal.

   Still unconfirmed

   • Lawmaker Mohammad Mehdi Shahriari expressed doubt that the Iranian parliament will ultimately back an NPT withdrawal during wartime.

   What to watch next

   • Whether the Iranian parliament passes the fast-track NPT withdrawal bill.
   • Any formal U.S. response to Iran's Strait of Hormuz proposal.
   • Further UN Security Council deliberations regarding sanctions snapback against Iran.

   Iran Warns IAEA Actions Will Push Countries to Exit NPT

   Iran warns that moves by the UN nuclear watchdog will push countries to exit the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty after the agency reported Tehran to the UN Security Council for the first time in 20 years. The US secured the UN watchdog vote, deepening the nuclear impasse as Washington ramps up pressure at the UN. An Iranian official states that leaving the nuclear treaty and revising Iran's military posture or nuclear doctrine are easily achievable. Meanwhile, Permanent 5 members clash in the UN Security Council over Iran sanctions snapback.

   Why it matters

   The UN nuclear watchdog board reported Iran for non-compliance following blocked inspectors and disabled cameras. This escalation brings the long-standing nuclear dispute back to the Security Council after a two-decade hiatus. Tensions have further intensified with international clashes over potential sanctions snapbacks and market reactions.

   What is confirmed

   • The UN nuclear watchdog board reported Iran to the UN Security Council for the first time in 20 years.
   • Iran stated that IAEA moves will push countries to exit the NPT.
   • Permanent 5 members clashed in the UN Security Council over Iran sanctions snapback.
