BAKU, Azerbaijan, November
12. The Iranian Assembly of Experts has
stated that reviewing the country's defence doctrine and
considering withdrawal from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of
Nuclear Weapons (NPT) are inevitable.
"Consideration of the possibility of Iran's withdrawal from the
NPT, revising the country's defense doctrine, and establishing the
necessary deterrence have become an unavoidable necessity, turning
into a national demand," the statement noted.
The statement remarked that state official representatives are
expected to address this demand, drawing upon the guidance of
Iran's Supreme Leader, Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei.
The statement added that should opposing parties attempt to
launch an attack on Iran, a decisive and effective response, as
articulated by the Supreme Leader, will be executed without any
geographical limitations. The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs
must also take action in this regard and convey Iran’s firm stance
to all nations, particularly its neighbors.
"Neighboring countries are well aware that the presence of
foreign powers, arriving from thousands of kilometers away, brings
no benefit to the region. Far from contributing to regional
security, these foreign powers are, in fact, the primary source of
instability," the statement pointed out.
