 In response to Tehran. Washington: Committed not to allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons at all

Shafak News / On Friday, The US State Department Renewed Its Commitment Not To Allow Iran To Obtain A Nuclear Weapon, After Statements By An Iranian Official That Tehran Could Review Its Nuclear Doctrine.

Commenting on the statements of Kamal Kharazi, adviser to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, a spokesman for the US State Department told Al-Hurra website: “President Biden has made it clear that we are committed not to allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon at all and we are ready to use all elements of national strength to ensure this result.”

“We remain deeply concerned about Iran’s nuclear activities and will continue to monitor them with caution.” “The intelligence community continues to believe that the Supreme Leader has not taken a decision to resume the nuclear weapons program that Iran suspended in 2003. However, we take any nuclear escalation by Iran very seriously and will respond appropriately.”

Ali Khamenei’s adviser to Kharazi said on Friday that Tehran is likely to increase the range of its ballistic missiles.

He added that it was also possible to review Iran’s nuclear doctrine amid growing tension with its arch-enemy Israel and exchange air strikes with it.

When asked by the pro-Iranian Al-Mayadeen channel whether Iran was ready to face the possibility of expanding the conflict after the recent strikes, Kharazi said that Tehran was likely to increase the range of its ballistic missiles beyond the self-imposed limit of 2,000 kilometers.

He said that although Iran technically has the capacity to produce nuclear weapons, it is currently constrained by a fatwa issued by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the early 2000s.

Tehran has always denied trying to make nuclear weapons and insists that its nuclear work is intended for peaceful purposes only.
