The Iranian Tasnim News Agency reported on Saturday evening that Tehran is considering withdrawing from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons in light of the continued US-Israeli attacks on its nuclear facilities since a month of war. The semi-official agency stated that the Iranian parliament and security institutions put on their agenda the possibility of withdrawing from the treaty due to their dissatisfaction with the position of the International Atomic Energy Agency  regarding attacking Iranian nuclear facilities. "Tasnim" confirmed that the International Atomic Energy Agency is obligated under the treaty to provide conditions that guarantee support and protection for Iran's use of peaceful nuclear technology and its accessories. The agency said, "The Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Mariano Grossi, indirectly encouraged the United States and Israel to use nuclear weapons against Iranian nuclear facilities." She explained that the continued US-Israeli attacks on nuclear facilities, and the International Atomic Energy Agency's "failure" to issue a statement of condemnation, "eliminates any justification for Iran to remain in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty." She stressed that withdrawal from the treaty "does not mean moving towards possessing nuclear weapons, but rather means preventing the continuation of espionage activities carried out by the United States and Israel under the cover of International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors."
