Iran is contemplating withdrawal from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) following recent attacks by the US and Israel on its nuclear facilities. The Iranian Parliament and other institutions are urgently reviewing this decision, citing a lack of justification to remain in the treaty. The attacks included strikes on the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant and other facilities, with the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran confirming a projectile hit the Bushehr site. Iran claims these actions violate international regulations protecting peaceful nuclear sites. The ongoing conflict has resulted in significant casualties, with over 1,340 people reported killed since the US-Israel offensive began on February 28, including high-profile figures. Iran has retaliated with missile and drone strikes targeting US allies in the region. The situation remains tense, with Iran emphasizing its right to peaceful nuclear technology and considering alliances with countries like those in the BRICS bloc for future nuclear cooperation.
