Iran has recently made bold statements regarding its nuclear capabilities, with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowing a strong response to perceived threats from Israel and the U.S. A top adviser to Khamenei, Kamal Kharrazi, warned that Iran could potentially modify its nuclear doctrine in the face of an existential threat, stating that the country has the capability to build nuclear weapons if necessary.
General Mohammad Naeini of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard further escalated tensions by promising a decisive and powerful response to any aggression from the enemy. Naeini's comments were in response to recent attacks on Iran's military infrastructure, including a strike by Israel on October 26 in retaliation for missile launches from Iran into Israel on October 1.
