Another Iranian MP urges nuclear policy shift

Nuclear deal debate reopens

MP seeks 'balanced' policy

Another Iranian lawmaker has called for a shift in the country's nuclear policy, arguing that the current approach is not in the national interest.

Mahmoud Nabavian, a member of parliament's influential National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, said in a statement on Saturday that Iran should adopt a "balanced" nuclear policy that takes into account both the country's security needs and its economic interests.

Nabavian's statement comes amid a growing debate in Iran over the future of the country's nuclear program. The debate was sparked by the recent US withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal, which had placed limits on Iran's nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief.

Some Iranian officials have argued that the country should resume its nuclear program in response to the US withdrawal. Others, however, have cautioned against such a move, arguing that it could lead to further economic sanctions and international isolation.

Nabavian's call for a balanced nuclear policy suggests that he believes Iran should not abandon its nuclear program but also should not pursue it in a way that would provoke the international community.

It is unclear whether Nabavian's views are shared by other members of parliament or by the Iranian government. However, his statement is a sign that the debate over Iran's nuclear policy is likely to continue in the coming months.
