Withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and halting cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency are options available to the Islamic Republic in response to Europe's activation of the snapback mechanism, said Vahid Ahmadi, a member of parliament’s National Security Committee on Saturday.
Ali Akbar Salehi, the former head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization said on Friday that parliament cannot independently decide on such measures, and initiatives like withdrawing from the NPT would require the explicit approval of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
