Iran is pursuing a peaceful nuclear doctrine, but in case the country is existentially threatened, it is forced to change its policies, says a former Iranian foreign minister and senior advisor to Iran’s leader.
Former top Iranian diplomat Kamal Kharrazi, in an interview with ISNA, said on Thursday: “If the Zionist regime dares to damage Iran’s nuclear facilities, our level of deterrence will be different.”
“We have no decision to produce a nuclear bomb, but if Iran’s existence is threatened, we will have to change our nuclear doctrine,” explained Kharrazi, an adviser to Iran’s leader.
Kharrazi’s comments echo his 2022 comments that Iran is technically capable of making a nuclear bomb but had not yet decided whether it would build one.
Based on a fatwa (religious order) by the leader of the Islamic revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the production of nuclear bombs has been designated as Haram (forbidden).
Also discussing the regional consequences of the Israeli massacre in the Gaza Strip since October 7 last year, Kharrazi said that Iran is determined to support the axis of resistance in the region, highlighting that each member of this axis acts in a independent and makes decisions based on conditions. on the floor.
