The Iranian foreign ministry announced that the Iranian parliament is in the process of drafting a bill to exit the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), emphasizing Tehran's stance against weapons of mass destruction.

President Masoud Pezeshkian reiterated Iran's commitment to peaceful nuclear energy and research, aligning with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's religious decree against the use of nuclear weapons.

The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) aims to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, promote peaceful nuclear energy use, and work towards global disarmament.

Recent tensions between Israel and Iran have heightened, with daytime attacks raising concerns of a wider regional conflict. Israel has issued warnings to evacuate areas near Iranian weapons facilities, indicating a long list of potential targets.

Despite international calls for a ceasefire, Israel and Iran have engaged in missile strikes over the past few days, escalating hostilities in the region.

Iran's nuclear program has advanced significantly since the US withdrew from the nuclear deal in 2018. While Iran claims its nuclear activities are peaceful, concerns have been raised about its potential to develop nuclear weapons due to its enriched uranium stockpile.
