US strikes give Iran right to exit nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, Iranian lawmaker says

Iran has the legal right to withdraw from the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) based on its Article 10 following US strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities, Parliament foreign policy committee head Abbas Golroo said in a statement on X on Sunday. 

Article 10 postulates that an NPT member has "the right to withdraw from the Treaty if it decides that extraordinary events have jeopardized the supreme interests of its country".
