Concurrently, Israel has intensified its military activities in Syria&#39;s Quneitra region, drawing condemnation and raising concerns about regional stability.<\/p>\n<h2>Iran&#39;s Parliament to Address NPT Withdrawal Amid Sanctions<\/h2>\n<p>Iran&#39;s parliament is scheduled for an emergency session tomorrow, September 7, 2025, to review a report concerning potential countermeasures against the &quot;snapback mechanism&quot; recently activated by the UK, France, and Germany (E3) to reimpose UN sanctions. While the possibility of withdrawing from the NPT is on the agenda for discussion, a senior lawmaker clarified that a finalized plan for such a withdrawal has not yet been presented to the parliament.<\/p>\n<p>The move to consider NPT withdrawal comes as a direct legislative response to the E3&#39;s decision to revive UN sanctions over Iran&#39;s nuclear program. Iranian officials have consistently described the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) resolution as &quot;purely political&quot; and lacking legitimacy, attributing it to Western influence. Reports indicate that a three-part emergency plan, if approved, would involve Iran&#39;s withdrawal from the NPT and the Additional Protocol, a suspension of negotiations with the United States and the E3, and an end to monitoring cooperation with the IAEA. Iran had previously warned in July that it would consider leaving the NPT if snapback sanctions were reimposed.<\/p>\n<h2>Israel Renews Incursions in Syrian Quneitra<\/h2>\n<p>Simultaneously, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) has reported renewed Israeli incursions into the countryside of Quneitra, Syria. These operations have involved Israeli ground troops entering villages, setting up checkpoints, searching homes, and conducting arrests, alongside the deployment of surveillance drones. Since the beginning of 2025, SOHR has documented over <strong>95 Israeli attacks<\/strong> on Syrian territory, including <strong>84 airstrikes<\/strong> and <strong>11 ground assaults<\/strong>, resulting in the destruction or damage of approximately <strong>135 targets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>These incursions have caused significant fear and anxiety among local residents and are viewed by Syria as clear violations of international conventions and UN Security Council resolutions regarding its sovereignty. Despite ongoing US-mediated talks aimed at de-escalating the conflict between Syria and Israel, military activities continue, with Israel asserting its actions are necessary to counter perceived threats and protect settlements in the Golan Heights. The latest reported incursions in Quneitra occurred in early September 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways Iran&#39;s parliament is set to discuss a report on
