US EditionIran will have 'no choice' but to get nukes if attacked, says Khamenei adviser
- On Monday, March 31, 2025, an adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned in Tehran that Iran would be forced to pursue nuclear weapons if attacked by the U.S. Or Israel.
- This warning follows escalating tensions, including the U.S. Withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal, reimposition of sanctions, and threats of military action by President Trump if Iran doesn't agree to a nuclear deal.
- Ali Larijani, Khamenei's senior adviser, stated on Iranian state television that while Iran does not currently seek nuclear weapons, it would reconsider its stance if threatened, echoing similar sentiments from other Iranian officials regarding potential retaliation to aggression.
- Trump sent a letter via the United Arab Emirates envoy on March 12 urging nuclear talks but warning of possible military action, and while Trump claimed US and Iranian officials were talking, Iran insists it won't negotiate under intimidation.
- Amidst the diplomatic impasse, Iran's UN ambassador sent a letter to the UN Security Council condemning "warmongering provocations" and warning of a swift and decisive response to any aggression by the U.S. Or Israel, further emphasizing that Iran would be forced to pursue nuclear weapons if attacked, despite a fatwa prohibiting them.
