"Our hands - on trigger"

REGION  18 April 2024 - 18:34

A senior Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander has said that Iran could review its nuclear doctrine.

"The threats of the Zionist regime against Iran's nuclear facilities make it possible to review our nuclear doctrine and deviate from our previous considerations," said Ahmad Haghtalab, who is in charge of nuclear security,” Sky News reports citing Tasnim news agency.

"If the Zionist regime wants to take action against our nuclear centres and facilities, we will surely and categorically reciprocate with advanced missiles against their own nuclear sites," he noted.

The commander said Israel's nuclear facilities have been identified, adding "our hands are on the trigger".

Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has the last say on Tehran's nuclear program, which some in the West suspect has military purposes.

Tehran has always maintained its nuclear program was strictly for peaceful purposes. 

The remarks come after senior ex-Mossad official Zohar Palti told Sky News that striking Iran's nuclear facilities was on the table of options being considered by Israel to retaliate after April 13 attack.
