Iran Defends NPT Commitment Amid BRICS Summit Remarks
Iranian President Pezeshkian has reinforced Tehran's commitment to the NPT by arguing that joining the treaty is incompatible with pursuing nuclear weapons, a stance he presented to India Today. He simultaneously condemned US and Israeli strikes as unlawful aggression and highlighted BRICS cooperation as a strategy to counter unilateral Western pressure and sanctions.
In a follow-up interview with India Today, Pezeshkian explicitly framed NPT membership as proof of good faith, arguing that a state seeking nuclear arms would never join the treaty. He further characterized US and Israeli military actions as unlawful aggression that killed civilians and scientists, while positioning BRICS as a collective shield against unilateral Western sanctions.
