Nuclear weapons have no place in Iran's nuclear doctrine, the country's foreign ministry said today, days after a Revolutionary Guard commander warned that Tehran could change its nuclear policy if pressured by Israeli threats. “Iran has repeatedly said that its nuclear program serves only peaceful purposes. Nuclear weapons have no place in our nuclear doctrine,” ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said at a press conference in Tehran. Following a sharp increase in tensions with Israel, the head of the Guards' nuclear security division, Ahmad Hagdalab, said last week that Israeli threats could prompt Tehran to “reconsider its nuclear doctrine and deviate from its previous thinking.” . Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the final say on Tehran's nuclear program, banned the development of nuclear weapons with a fatwa, or religious edict, in the early 2000s.
