Iranian Parliament's National Security member Borujerdi says the time has come for Iran to withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and the permanent monitoring of the Strait of Hormuz, IRNA reports
- "We are not looking for a nuclear bomb, but we are not going to follow the rules of the game and be bombed."
- According to the plan prepared by the Islamic Council and will be approved as soon as possible, a new system will rule the Strait of Hormuz and traffic will not be possible without the permission of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Context
The comments from Irani Parliament's member Borujerdi signal a potential escalation in tensions surrounding Iran's nuclear policy and its control over the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route for global oil supply. This move could lead to increased volatility in energy markets, particularly WTI crude, as it raises concerns about the security of oil transport and potential military confrontations in the region.
