Iran to Reconsider Nuclear Policies if Israel Threatens Nuclear Facilities: Senior Commander
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Commander of the IRGC's Nuclear Facilities Protection and Security Command Brigadier General Ahmad Haqtalab warned of potential revisions to Iran's nuclear policies if Israel continues to threaten attacks on its nuclear sites.
"If Israel attempts to use the threat of attacking nuclear facilities to put pressure on Iran, a revision of the nuclear doctrine and a departure from the previously announced considerations is likely," stated the commander.
Haghtalab highlighted Israel's history of sabotage and terrorist acts against Iran's nuclear industry alongside its ongoing threats.
"Although according to international protocols and standards and the regulations of the International Atomic Energy Agency, all countries are advised to refrain from attacking nuclear facilities, the Islamic Republic of Iran has always been prepared to confront these threats from the beginning," he asserted.
Referring to the recent criminal act of the Zionist regime in attacking the consular section of the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Syria, which violated all international laws and regulations, General Haqtalab stated that it was not expected that the regime would again make the futile attempt to threaten an attack on our country's nuclear facilities. “By the grace of God…, we are prepared to confront any threat from the Zionist regime,” he added.
“The nuclear facilities of the Zionist enemy have been identified, and we have the necessary information about all the targets, and in other words, our fingers are on the trigger of powerful missiles to destroy the specified targets in response to their possible action,” General Haqtalab noted, emphasizing the full readiness of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
He stressed that if the Zionist regime took action against Iranian nuclear facilities, it would certainly face a reaction, and in retaliation, the nuclear facilities of the regime would be targeted and attacked with advanced weapons.
“If the fake Zionist regime wants to use the threat of attacking our country's nuclear facilities as an instrumental means to put pressure on Iran, a revision of the nuclear doctrine and policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran and a departure from the previously announced considerations is likely and conceivable,” he said.
Emphasizing that the era of "hit and run" is over, as stated by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, General Haqtalab said, “If the Zionist regime commits an act of aggression against Iran, the type of response will be with the prudence of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and they can be sure that the blow they receive will be recorded in history like the ‘True Promise’ operation”.
Concluding, Haqtalab reassured the Iranian people of the safeguarding measures in place, asserting the complete security of Iran's nuclear facilities under the protection of its armed forces.
