Iran Security Official Rezaei Warns IAEA Resolution Could Push States to Quit NPT

Framing an IAEA Board resolution as a driver of NPT withdrawal shifts the argument from compliance to the legitimacy of the treaty regime itself, which is a more consequential claim than the usual rejection of a censure. The audience is less the IAEA than the non-aligned states that have long resisted what they see as politicized treatment, and their response matters more than Iran's rhetoric. Whether other capitals echo the withdrawal framing, or treat it as an isolated Iranian position, is the open question.
