Iran Warns of Nuclear Doctrine Change if Threatened by Israel
Tehran Issues Statement Amidst Heightened Tensions
Amidst Heightened Tensions
TEHRAN - Iran has issued a stern warning that it will alter its nuclear doctrine if it faces threats from Israel. The remarks come less than a month after an unprecedented Iranian drone attack in the region.
The statement from Tehran comes amid heightened tensions between the two nations. Israel has repeatedly accused Iran of developing nuclear weapons, a charge that Iran denies. In recent weeks, there have been a series of incidents that have raised concerns about a potential conflict between the two countries.
The most recent incident occurred on April 9, when Iran launched a drone attack on an Israeli-owned ship in the Gulf of Oman. The attack caused no casualties, but it marked a significant escalation in tensions.
In response to the attack, Israel vowed to retaliate. Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said that his country would "not tolerate" Iranian aggression.
The war of words between Iran and Israel has escalated in recent days. Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has said that Israel is a "threat to regional stability." Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz has accused Iran of "playing with fire."
The situation between Iran and Israel is now at a critical juncture. The warning from Tehran suggests that Iran is prepared to take action if it feels threatened. It remains to be seen whether Israel will respond in kind, or if the two countries can find a way to de-escalate the current tensions.
