In a provocative statement on state television, Mohammad Javad Larijani, a senior official and close ally of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, declared on Monday<\/a>, November 18, that Iran has the capability to achieve “military nuclear readiness” within 24 hours. “If Europeans think we can achieve nuclear military capability within 48 hours, they are mistaken\u2014we can do it in 24,” Larijani stated, emphasizing this capability as a key deterrent. He also warned that Tehran would swiftly recalibrate its nuclear policies in response to any perceived threats or pressure, adding, “Our nuclear capability is unstoppable, and any threat will be met with a decisive response.”<\/p>\n This statement comes amid escalating tensions with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and European nations. France, Germany, and the UK are advocating for a resolution at the upcoming IAEA Board of Governors meeting to censure Iran for its non-compliance with nuclear agreements. Tehran has consistently obstructed inspections, failed to clarify uranium traces found at undeclared sites, and enriched uranium to 60% purity\u2014a level dangerously close to weapons-grade.<\/p>\n Despite Masoud Pezeshkian’s recent statements<\/a> and assurances during a meeting with IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi\u2014claiming that Tehran will never strive for nuclear weapons and that it is committed to “addressing ambiguities” in its nuclear program “within legal frameworks”\u2014the regime’s actions tell a different story. While Pezeshkian spoke of cooperation, Tehran has consistently obstructed inspections and defied transparency requirements, as Grossi himself highlighted. This duplicity underscores the regime’s strategy of offering hollow promises to buy time while advancing its nuclear ambitions and escalating threats, as evidenced by Larijani\u2019s remarks about achieving military nuclear readiness within 24 hours.<\/p>\n #Iran<\/a> News in Brief — NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) August 23, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
