| Iranian lawmaker: Iran could leave nuclear treaty |
| 2009-11-29 |
| [Asharq al-Aswat] A conservative Iranian legislator warned Saturday that his country may pull out of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty after a U.N. resolution censuring Tehran, a move that could seriously undermine world attempts to prevent Iran from developing atomic weapons. Iran's official news agency quoted a hardline political analyst who made the same point, another indication the idea could be gaining steam. If Iran withdraws from the treaty, its nuclear program would no longer be subject to oversight by the U.N. nuclear agency. That in turn would be a significant blow to efforts to ensure that no enriched uranium is diverted from use as fuel to warhead development. |

| #2 They must figure that they've rung as much out of "membership" as they could, and now it's time to, once again, float a threat (after, of course, the decision to leave has been made.)... |
