Iranian officials are considering exiting the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), with a statement from the "ژئوپلیتیک" Telegram channel indicating that doctors are reviewing this possibility. Separately, the Secretary of the Security Council stated that the Minister of Intelligence was "hit during the war." These developments occurred within the reporting window of September 27th, 2025, between 8:38 PM and 9:37 PM UTC, as the U.S. Air Force released a 36-minute documentary detailing American fighter squadrons defending Israel from Iranian attacks on April 13, 2024. Previous reporting from earlier on September 27th indicated that Iran's Parliament was scheduled to review the nation's potential exit from the NPT on September 28th, 2025. Man Kosari, a member of the National Assembly's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, had stated that the construction of an atomic bomb could be reviewed at a later date if the NPT exit is deemed necessary by the Majlis. Kosari also indicated that a contract with IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, previously agreed upon in Cairo, would not be implemented. The spokesperson for Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs also stated on September 27th that diplomatic solutions are being pursued and any response to a "snapback" will be proportionate to national interests. Further context from September 27th includes remarks from Zahdi, a faculty member at the National Defense University, who stated that Iran's effective deterrence suggests war is unlikely in the coming months and that its defense industries remain operational despite prior damage. Earlier on September 27th, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met with UN General Assembly President Annalena Baerbock in New York to discuss the nuclear program ahead of an October 5th deadline for international sanctions. President Masoud Pezeshkian had expressed frustration on September 27th, claiming European negotiators reneged on agreements after consulting with the United States, impacting discussions on IAEA inspectors and enriched uranium reserves. The U.S. Air Force documentary released during this reporting window details American fighter squadrons sent to defend Israel from massed Iranian attacks on the evening of April 13, 2024. The source for this documentary release was cited as FaytuksNetwork on X (formerly Twitter).
