(JNS) – The Isalmic Republic on Thursday threatened to reconsider its official nuclear doctrine amid Israeli threats to retaliate against the Islamic Republic for its unprecedented direct missile and drone attack on the Jewish state.
“A review of our nuclear doctrine and politics as well as considerations previously communicated is entirely possible,” said Maj. Gen. Ahmad Haghtalab, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander responsible for safeguarding Iran’s nuclear sites, Reuters reported.
Threats “against Iran’s nuclear facilities make it possible to revise and deviate from the declared nuclear policies and considerations,” he added, according to the semi-official Tasnim News Agency.
“Our hands are on the trigger,” threatened Haghtalab, saying that the IRGC has identified Israel’s nuclear facilities.
Until now, Iran has maintained that its nuclear program is strictly peaceful while it has continued to ramp up its uranium enrichment.
