Iran signalled on 25 June that it may withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi saying the accord has failed to protect the country’s nuclear programme after recent U.S. and Israeli strikes on its facilities. “If we remain in the NPT, we cannot accept its commitments while being denied its rights,” the ministry said, adding that Tehran would not initiate hostilities but would respond decisively to aggression. Hours earlier, Iran’s parliament voted to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency until the security of domestic nuclear sites is guaranteed. Parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf accused the IAEA of lacking “objectivity and professionalism” for not condemning the attacks. The agency has been seeking access to verify roughly 400 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60 percent that it says remains unaccounted for following the strikes. IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi warned that the non-proliferation regime faces “unthinkable” risks if dialogue falters, while U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff told Fox News that Washington and Tehran have opened indirect talks aimed at reviving negotiations over Iran’s nuclear activities. Grossi and diplomats at the UN Security Council called the present moment a narrow window for diplomacy to avert further escalation.
