Iran may withdraw from NPT if war resumes - Rezaei

Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Mohsen Rezaei questioned whether the country should remain a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) if U.S. aggression resumed.

"At some point, they may want to start a war, and it is unclear whether we will remain in the NPT after any future war. But while we are a party to it, we have 22 rights," Mohsen Rezaei said.

The U.S. must ensure Iran can exercise all the rights guaranteed by the NPT before discussions on its nuclear program can begin, he pointed out.

"Then we will also say: if you want to discuss the nuclear issue, we will demand our rights first. You must first recognize our rights," Mohsen Rezaei said.
