Iran has asserted its capability to develop a nuclear weapon, with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei promising a severe response to threats from Israel and the U.S. A key adviser, Kamal Kharrazi, indicated that Iran could adjust its nuclear policy if faced with an existential threat, claiming they have the means to build nuclear weapons.
General Mohammad Naeini of the Revolutionary Guard echoed these sentiments, warning of a strong and strategic response to any aggression, particularly following Israel’s recent attacks on Iranian military sites.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has suggested that Iran’s nuclear program may be targeted next, while the U.S. has cautioned Israel against striking Iran’s energy and nuclear facilities to avoid escalating regional conflict.
