IRIB reported on the 12th that an Iranian expert meeting urged authorities to
review a possible withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, reassess
national defense strategy and build necessary deterrent capabilities. The
statement said repeated threats from hostile powers, particularly against Iran's
nuclear capacity, means Iran can no longer rely on relevant international bodies.
It added that if adversaries launch another attack, Iran's armed forces would
respond swiftly and effectively, without geographic limits.
