Iran faces a critical juncture regarding its nuclear program and impending international sanctions, with potential NPT Article X withdrawal discussions and ongoing talks set to intensify in the coming weeks. Sanctions are slated to take effect on October 5th, according to an analysis shared on September 27th. The timeline for any potential withdrawal from the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) involves a 90-day notice period, during which further negotiations are anticipated, drawing parallels to past diplomatic strategies employed by North Korea. The analysis, published on X by user AmirIGM, highlights the diminishing window for Iran to invoke NPT Article X, emphasizing that inaction could complicate efforts to maintain support from Russia and China within the UN Security Council. The user suggests that Iran will likely continue diplomatic engagements until, and potentially after, the sanctions deadline. This development follows commemorations of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah's assassination anniversary, during which Iran's National Security Council Chairman Alijani visited Beirut. While not directly linked in the provided sources, the heightened regional diplomatic activity involving Iran occurs against a backdrop of evolving geopolitical considerations for Tehran.
