Iran's hardliners push for nuclear weapons development or withdrawal from the Non-Proliferation Treaty

Reuters reported today: Hardliners in Iran are increasingly pushing for the country to develop nuclear weapons and possibly withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

This shift comes after the passing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and ongoing attacks by the U.S. and Israel, which have strengthened the influence of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Although Iran's official nuclear policy has not yet changed, internal debates within leadership are intensifying, with some arguing that possessing nuclear weapons is necessary for survival.

Others remain cautious, and it remains unclear whether these statements represent a genuine policy shift or are merely a result of negotiation pressure.
