TEHRAN \u2013 Iran\u2019s Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Majid Takht Ravanchi told the Parliament’s National Security Committee that Iran will look into withdrawing from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) if the UN Security Council attempts to reinstate the so-called “Snapback” sanctions.<\/p>\n
While describing last week’s talks with the European Troika (E3) as constructive, Takht Ravanchi emphasized that any agreement undermining the JCPOA or leading to the re-imposition of previous UN Security Council sanctions might force Iran to reassess its commitment to the NPT and adjust its nuclear policy.<\/p>\n
This strong stance came before IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi’s Friday statement to Reuters, highlighting Iran’s rapidly increasing capacity to enrich uranium to 60% purity.<\/p>\n
The deputy minister stressed that any further discussions with the E3 will be guided by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and conducted with a clear-eyed understanding of the realities of the situation.<\/p>\n
The NPT, a 1970 international treaty, aims to prevent nuclear proliferation and promote peaceful nuclear energy use. The “Snapback” mechanism, a feature of the 2015 JCPOA (between Iran and the P5+1: US, UK, France, Russia, China, and Germany), allows for the immediate re-imposition of pre-JCPOA sanctions if Iran is deemed non-compliance<\/p>\n
Since the U.S. withdrawal from the JCPOA in 2018, the E3 retains the authority to trigger this mechanism, a threat Iran views as illegitimate and a pretext for renewed Western pressure.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
