Iran’s adviser Ali Larijani warns that U.S. or Israeli attacks could force nuclear weapons development, despite a religious ban. U.S. President Trump threatens military action if negotiations fail. Iran remains open to indirect talks, stressing the need for U.S. to restore trust.
An adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Larijani, indicated that Iran would be compelled to develop nuclear weapons if the United States or Israel attacked under nuclear pretexts. This statement came in light of threats made by U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli officials concerning Iran’s nuclear program, as reported by Xinhua news agency via IRNA.
Larijani emphasized that while Iran’s religious directive prevents the acquisition of nuclear weapons, retaliatory pressures from the populace could change this stance should the U.S. commit an error. Furthermore, he asserted that military strikes would not effectively dismantle Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
The prospect of any negotiations with the U.S. would focus on mutual understanding and concessions regarding nuclear issues. In a recent NBC News interview, President Trump threatened unprecedented military strikes if Iran failed to engage in treaty discussions over its nuclear program. Trump stated, If they don’t make a deal, there will be bombing like they’ve never seen before.
Following Trump’s outreach through a letter for direct negotiations, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian confirmed Tehran’s rejection of such face-to-face discussions, yet suggested possible indirect negotiations. He reiterated that while Iran does not oppose negotiations in principle, the United States must first address its past grievances and restore trust.
In summary, Iran’s leadership warns of potential nuclear development in response to U.S. aggression, despite existing religious edicts against such weapons. The situation remains tense, with threats of military action from the United States and a cautious acknowledgement from Iran about openness to indirect negotiations, contingent upon the correction of past U.S. actions.
