Iran threatens to quit NPT if nuclear issue referred to Security Council

Iran’s foreign minister threatens to quit the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), a key international agreement to curb nuclear arms, if the matter of Tehran’s ongoing violations of the atomic deal is sent to the United Nations Security Council, Iranian media reports.

“If the Europeans continue their improper behavior or send Iran’s file to the Security Council, we will withdraw from the NPT,” Mohammad Javad Zarif is quoted as saying by the IRNA news agency, according to Reuters.
