Iran has “not ruled out” withdrawing from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons if the United Nations were to reimpose sanctions, a lead Iranian negotiator said ahead of nuclear talks this week.
“That’s still on the table,” Deputy Foreign Minister for International Affairs Kazem Gharibabadi told reporters on Wednesday, referring to the prospect of Iran pulling out of the treaty.
