Iranian officials have recently stated that withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is not an immediate priority, with two senior figures telling the Financial Times in mid-October that policy remains unchanged for now while leaving room for future shifts. President Masoud Pezeshkian has publicly defended NPT membership as consistent with a peaceful nuclear program, and parliamentary proposals for withdrawal advanced by over 100 lawmakers in September have stalled without broad consensus or passage. Senior security official Mohsen Rezaei has linked any potential decision to U.S. conduct and sanctions relief but has focused recent remarks on retaining enriched uranium domestically amid mediation efforts. These factors, alongside Russia's stated opposition and the absence of formal Article X notification, underpin traders' strong consensus against an Iranian exit before 2027.
