Following this announcement, the Iranian regime&#8217;s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi stated after a cabinet meeting, \u201cIf the main issue is ensuring Iran does not pursue nuclear weapons, this is achievable and not particularly difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The bellicose rhetoric aligns with previous nuclear threats made by Iranian senior officials. Just last December, Kamal Kharrazi, a senior advisor to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei,<a href=\"https:\/\/fa.alalam.ir\/news\/7118913\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> warned in an interview<\/a> with Al-Mayadeen that Iran would retaliate in kind if attacked, implying potential nuclear escalation.
