It would essentially be the equivalent of Iran spitting in the face of Europe and Russia (they already spit in our face whenver they have the chance.. ;0) But theoretically speaking, Iran COULD nullify their participation in that treaty. They are a sovereign nation and have that right. But they also have the right to suffer the consequences. Hawk
