"Iranian Commander Warns of Potential Shift in Nuclear Doctrine Amid Israeli Threats"

A senior Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander stated that Iran could reconsider its "nuclear doctrine" in response to Israeli threats against its nuclear facilities, raising concerns about Tehran's nuclear program. The commander's remarks come amid heightened tensions following an exchange of attacks between Iran and Israel. Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, holds the final authority over the country's nuclear program, which has been a subject of suspicion by the West. The 2015 nuclear pact aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear activities has stalled, and the head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog reported that Iran continues to enrich uranium at levels far beyond commercial use.
