Iran to change nuclear doctrine if existence threatened, adviser to Supreme Leader says
Iran's Supreme Leader adviser, Kamal Kharrazi, stated that while Iran has no intention to build nuclear weapons, its military doctrine may change if its existence is threatened by Israel. This raises concerns about Iran's nuclear intentions, despite Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's past ban on such weapons. Kharrazi's comments come amid heightened tensions between Iran and Israel, with Tehran recently launching missiles and drones against Israel in retaliation for an attack on its embassy compound in Damascus.
