Tehran must not withdraw from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, President Emmanuel Macron has said<\/strong><\/p>\n

French President Emmanuel Macron has said the international community must act to prevent Iran from leaving the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), which prohibits it from acquiring nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n

Some Iranian politicians have threatened to withdraw from the NPT in retaliation for recent US and Israeli strikes on the country\u2019s nuclear facilities.<\/p>\n

While Macron\u00a0argued that the strikes were \u201cgenuinely effective,\u201d<\/em> he cautioned that the\u00a0worst-case scenario\u00a0would be Iran pulling out of the landmark arms control treaty.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe worst would be that the consequence of this is Iran\u2019s exit from the Non-Proliferation Treaty and therefore, ultimately, a drift and a collective weakening,\u201d<\/em> Macron told reporters after an EU summit in Brussels on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur hope is for a genuine convergence of views, as the objective\u2026 is to prevent the resumption of [Iran\u2019s] proliferation activities,\u201d<\/em> he added.<\/p>\n

Macron said France plans to hold consultations with the other four permanent members of the UN Security Council\u00a0\u2013 the US, UK, Russia, and China\u00a0\u2013 in the coming days. He noted that he has briefed US President Donald Trump on France\u2019s recent communications with Tehran.<\/p>\n

Rafael Grossi, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said it would be \u201cvery regrettable\u201d<\/em> if Iran were to withdraw from the treaty.<\/p>\n

Abbas Golroo, the chairman of the Iranian parliament\u2019s foreign relations committee, stated on June 22\u00a0\u2013 the day the US struck three nuclear facilities, including the uranium enrichment site at Fordow\u00a0\u2013 that Iran has \u201cthe legal right to withdraw from the treaty.\u201d<\/em> He later added that lawmakers would review the country\u2019s continued participation in the NPT.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, the Iranian parliament voted to suspend cooperation with the IAEA after Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei accused the agency of failing to properly condemn the strikes.<\/p>\n

Iran, which denies that it is pursuing a military nuclear program, maintains that it has the right to enrich uranium for civilian purposes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
