Tehran, Iran – The latest threats of military action against Iran by the president of the United States, Donald Trump, have caused more discussions about the possibility that they will abandon nuclear non -proliferation.
High White House officials have said again that Iran must eliminate its nuclear program completely, leaving all uranium enrichment activity, even at low levels.
In the midst of intense US air attacks on Yemen, Trump also said that the United States will hold Tehran for any attacks by Yemen's hutis, dismissing Iran's insistence that the group operates independently.
This has only led to more calls from Iran to abandon its officially declared policy that it will never look for nuclear weapons.
'Nuclear Year'
On Tuesday, Vatan-E Emrooz, one of the best daily newspapers led by ultraconservatives, marked the next final of the Iranian year on March 20 by saying that more countries will reflect on nuclear bombs for their safety as a result of Trump's policies.
“Nuclear year,” read its headline, complete with an image of a mass nuclear explosion.
NourNews, an exit affiliated with the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, said that “there will be no guarantees” that Iran does not abandon the non -proliferation treaty (NPT) if Trump and his team continue to threaten.
Ahmad Naderi, a member of the President of the Iranian Parliament, said in a public session of the Assembly last week that “it may be time for us to rethink our nuclear, military and security doctrine.”
The Tehran legislator has also previously supported the intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of transporting nuclear eyes, claiming that “there will be no balance in the region” unless they will have a bomb.
These calls have increasingly won the favor between the hard line factions in Iran, echoing a feeling that the establishment is prepared to run for a pump if its existence is threatened.
Last week, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, whose religious failure currently prohibits Iran looking for weapons of mass destruction, he also commented.
“If we wanted to make nuclear weapons, the United States could not stop. If we don't have nuclear weapons and do not pursue them, it's because we don't want it,” Khamenei said.
According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (OIEA), which carries out inspections of Iranian nuclear sites, Iran has accumulated sufficient fistible material for multiple bombs, but has not made any effort to build one.
On the same page with China, Russia
In the years since the unilateral withdrawal of Trump in 2018 of the Iran Nuclear Agreement with the world powers, Washington's European allies have become increasingly aggressive in the Iranian nuclear program.
They have pressed Iran to stop their nuclear advances despite not having perspectives of raising sanctions, they introduced censorship resolutions at the Board of the Global Nuclear Control Agency and demanded more responses on several cases related to the nuclear, some that date from two decades.
Years of climbing about the cooperation of Tehran with the OIEA, in addition to the European anger on the closest ties of Iran with Moscow in the light of the Ukraine War, they have led Iran to maintain a closer coordination with China and Russia.
The three countries have been having conversations in Beijing to present a more unified approach about the Iranian nuclear problem, especially about sanctions.
France, Germany and the United Kingdom, the European powers are still fun in the Iranian nuclear agreement of 2015, continue to threaten to activate their “Snapback” mechanism to restore all the United Nations sanctions against Iran.
China and Russia oppose the measure.
The E3 has said that they are chasing snapback because they are concerned about the use of advanced centrifugers to enrich high purity uranium, alleged breach of the nuclear agreement and supposed provision of ballistic missiles by Iran to Russia.
Iran has strongly rejected that he delivered missiles to Russia, and has argued that he only sent some drones to Russia months before the beginning of the war.
Iranian officials also held conversations with the head of the OIEA Rafael Grossi this week, and the country opposed what he called “unjustified interference” in his commitments with the IEA after the United Nations Security Council held a meeting on its nuclear program.
The meeting of closed doors led Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs to convene E3 ambassadors to protest against the “misuse” of the CSNU mechanism.
The White House said Tuesday that Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed during a phone call that “Iran should never be in a position to destroy Israel.”
Trump letter, threats
The threat of the president of the United States that “every shot” triggered by the hutis in Yemen will be seen as an attack of Iran has increased tensions.
In a publication about its Truth social platform, Trump said Iran provides “the so -called intelligence” to the Hutis, which has been seen in the Iranian media and online as a possible military threat against the Zagros warship of Iran, opened in January.
The ship built by Iran is the first intelligence container of large signals (Sigint) deployed by the Iranian armed forces, and there have been Western speculation that it can help hutis in their operations giving them data.
The telegram channels linked to the body of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard of Iran (IRGC) denied on Tuesday the presence of any ships of the Iranian Navy in the Red Sea, the Strait Bab Al-Mandeb and the Indian Ocean.
But the Iranian currency continued its descent this week in the possibility that the United States or Israel can attack Iran. The rial briefly reached the psychological threshold of 1,000,000 against the US dollar in the open market on Tuesday before recovering some land today.
While asking for conversations with Tehran under his “maximum pressure” policy, Trump has sent a letter to the Iranian supreme leader this week.
The text of the letter has not been published, but it is believed that again an option has presented to Iran between negotiations or military actions.
The spokesman of the Foreign Ministry of Iran, Esmaeil Baghaei, told journalists this week that the letter is not very different from Trump's public statements. He said Iran, who has rejected conversations under maximum pressure, will respond after an exhaustive review.
