Iran Ponders Over Alteration of Nuclear Policy in Light of Israeli Attack Warnings

A senior officer from the Iranian Revolutionary Guards disclosed on a recent Thursday that Tehran is contemplating a reevaluation of its nuclear stance in response to warnings from Israel concerning potential assaults. This comes amidst the Iranian government's steadfast insistence that its nuclear ambitions are solely for peaceful undertakings.

The contemplation about modifying its nuclear strategy by Tehran emerges after threats from Israel. A high-ranking official from the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, tasked with elucidating the nation's nuclear agenda, made this revelation, underscoring the peaceful declaration of Iran's nuclear initiatives.

Israel has pronounced its intention to respond to Iran's actions following the missile and drone strike on April 13, which Tehran justifies as a countermeasure to a purported Israeli aggression against its diplomatic premises in Damascus on April 1.

"The threats from the Zionist entity (Israel) concerning Iran's nuclear installations have allowed us to reconsider our nuclear doctrine and shift away from our earlier thoughts," stated Ahmad Haghtalab, the Revolutionary Guards commander responsible for nuclear safeguarding, as reported by the semi-official Tasnim news agency.

Previously, SaharaReporters highlighted a plea from the Nigerian Government for both nations to exercise restraint amidst the escalating tensions.

According to a Sunday report by SaharaReporters, Iran had initiated a series of drone and missile attacks targeting Israel the preceding Saturday night.

Tehran has pointed fingers at Israel for orchestrating a bombardment on its consular establishment in Damascus, Syria, earlier this month, resulting in the death of seven officers from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force.

Subsequently, the retaliation by Iran was condemned by the G7 leaders, who reiterated their support for the security of Israel. The G7, an international conglomerate comprising Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, along with the European Union as a non-listed member, expressed their stance.

In a communique disseminated by Mrs Francisca Omayuli, the mouthpiece for the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Nigerian administration emphasized the importance for both involved nations to deliberate on the universal obligation towards the peaceful settlement of disputes, aiming at the upliftment of worldwide peace and stability.
