A hardline Iranian lawmaker is quoted by the country's official IRNA news agency as saying Iran's parliament may consider withdrawing from the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, AP reported.
The threat comes a day after a resolution passed by the board of the U.N. nuclear agency demanding that Tehran immediately stop building its newly revealed nuclear facility and freeze uranium enrichment.
Mohammad Karamirad said Saturday parliament may also consider blocking inspection of Iran's nuclear facilities by the International Atomic Energy Agency, which it has been allowing routinely so far.
Karamirad does not speak for the government, but his statements often reflect its thinking.
