Should Iran remain in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty when it believes its security is under threat?
In this Press TV Spotlight discussion from Tehran, I join writer and podcaster Henry Hakamaki to debate Iran’s defence doctrine, nuclear sovereignty and the possibility of withdrawing from the NPT.
We examine Israel’s nuclear arsenal, the obligations of nuclear powers, Iran’s right to peaceful nuclear energy and whether strategic ambiguity could strengthen deterrence.
I also explain why I believe Iran must reconsider its defence strategy in response to military threats from the United States and Israel.
Is the NPT protecting Iran, or restricting its ability to defend itself?
