Iran says leaving nuclear treaty, revising nuclear doctrine ‘easily achievable’

Iran’s withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and a revision of its nuclear doctrine are “easily achievable,” an Iranian parliamentary spokesman said Sunday. Abbas Goudarzi, spokesman for the Iranian parliament’s presiding board, told the semi-official Fars News Agency that Tehran’s differences with the US are “fundamental,” arguing that those advocating peace with Washington are seeking to impose “surrender.” He said trusting the US would amount to accepting “deception,” adding that only “the language of force and the logic of power” works in dealing with Washington. Goudarzi also warned that any negotiations that weaken what Iran calls the “resistance front” or give its adversaries an opportunity to regroup would constitute a “strategic mistake.” READ: Iran says ‘US attack’ on commercial vessel […]
