Tehran will also raise the question of whether the country will develop nuclear weapons.

Iranian lawmakers discussed how to respond to the re-imposition of UN sanctions in connection with Tehran's nuclear program, which came into force on Sunday night. One of the parliamentarians suggested that the country could withdraw from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT).

When asked if Iran's withdrawal from the treaty meant progress toward building a bomb, lawmaker Ismail Kousari said, "No, it doesn't mean that. This issue will be considered separately later, and we can include it in the agenda if necessary."

Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf issued a warning to those who will comply with UN sanctions.

He also assured the three European countries responsible for reimposing sanctions (France, Germany and the UK) that Iran would take retaliatory measures.

"We declare that if any country wants to take action against Iran based on these illegal resolutions, it will face serious retaliatory measures from Iran. Appropriate actions will also be taken against the three European countries that are the initiators of these illegal actions," Ghalibaf said.

The sanctions include freezing Iranian assets abroad, halting arms deals with Tehran, and punishing any development of Iran's ballistic missile program, among other measures.

Three European countries said on Sunday that they "made every effort not to provoke a retaliatory strike," but Iran "did not allow IAEA inspectors to restore access to Iranian nuclear facilities, nor did it prepare and submit to the IAEA a report on its reserves of highly enriched uranium." tengrinews.kz .
