Iran weighs NPT withdrawal as atomic energy chief says the decision must reflect national security and calls Trump’s strike threats a sign of US desperation

Iran is considering withdrawing from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, Atomic Energy Organization chief Ismaili said, adding that the choice to remain or leave falls under the country’s sovereign authority and must reflect its national security interests and broader strategy.

Ismaili described US President Donald Trump’s repeated threats to strike Iranian nuclear facilities as a sign of Washington’s desperation. He also accused International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi of being a “US-Israeli agent.”
