Several Iranian lawmakers have called for the country to withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Ebrahim Rezaei, a member of the Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, stated that 10 proposals for withdrawal from the treaty have been registered and are currently under review. On Saturday, MP Mahmoud Nabavian urged Iran to withdraw from the NPT and change its nuclear doctrine, claiming the country has paid a heavy price for war and sanctions. Mohammad Javad Haj Ali Akbari, an Iranian politician and scholar, also called for a review of Iran's nuclear doctrine, referring to it as a "national demand."

Observers note that withdrawing from the NPT does not mean Iran would immediately build nuclear weapons, and the Iranian government's official stance remains that it does not seek nuclear weapons. However, such a move could escalate regional tensions. The US-Iran war is now in its ninth month, and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has disrupted global energy and financial markets. German Chancellor Merz stated that the war with Iran has increased Europe's energy costs by over 100 billion euros.
