Since 1991, the National Council of Resistance of Iran <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/exclusive-report\/timeline-of-ncris-revelations-to-prevent-a-nuclear-armed-iran\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(NCRI) has exposed<\/a> dozens of covert nuclear sites tied to the regime\u2019s clandestine weapons program.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">For over three decades, the ruling clerics in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Tehran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Tehran<\/a>, who continue to harbor ambitions of inaugurating a regional Islamic Caliphate to this day, have been desperately trying to join the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/nuclear?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#nuclear<\/a> club.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/EiJenArCtm\">https:\/\/t.co\/EiJenArCtm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1648397230762541056?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 18, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2550\" data-end=\"2993\">Rouhalamini\u2019s remarks align with a broader strategy of nuclear extortion. By publicly floating the idea of abandoning the fatwa, regime officials seek to create diplomatic panic, divide international consensus, and extract concessions from Western powers. This is a familiar playbook: Tehran escalates threats whenever international pressure mounts, using the specter of weaponization to stall negotiations and weaken enforcement of sanctions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2995\" data-end=\"3363\">As Tehran faces mounting domestic unrest, economic collapse, and growing isolation, officials are increasingly turning to nuclear blackmail as their last strategic leverage.
