Why Iran Is Threatening to Withdraw from the NPT – Explained

Описание: The NPT, or Treaty on the Non Proliferation of nuclear weapons, is a landmark international agreement opened in 1968 and in force since March 5, 1970. It rests on three pillars: preventing the spread of nuclear weapons, promoting peaceful nuclear energy under safeguards, and advancing global nuclear disarmament. Non-nuclear weapon states (like Iran) agree not to pursue nuclear arms, while nuclear armed states pledge disarmament and a commitment to assist with peaceful uses under IAEA inspection.
