Iran's military adviser, Mohsen Rezaei, has issued a stark warning that Tehran may withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) if it faces attacks from its adversaries in the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz. This declaration comes in the wake of U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of a largely negotiated peace agreement with Iran, which includes plans for the full reopening of the strait without tolls. Iranian officials, including Ebrahim Rezaei, have criticized the NPT for failing to provide any benefits to Iran, suggesting that remaining a signatory is meaningless. Amidst these tensions, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed gratitude to Trump for his commitment to Israel's security, particularly in light of recent military operations against Iranian influence in the region. Iran's Foreign Ministry has stated that any discussions about the strait must involve coordination with neighboring countries, particularly Oman. Ongoing negotiations are expected to last another 30 to 60 days, focusing on lifting U.S. sanctions and addressing the blockade on Iranian ports.
