Iran’s nuclear doctrine intact: Security chief

Iran’s security chief says the Islamic Republic’s nuclear doctrine of pursuing peaceful energy and opposing pursuance of atomic weapons has remained “unchanged.”

Ali-Akbar Ahmadian, head of the country’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), made the remarks on Monday, meeting with Oman’s Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi in the Iranian capital Tehran.

“Based on the relevant observation of Iran’s Leader Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the country’s nuclear doctrine has remained unchanged,” he said.

‘Birth of new resistance’

The official further noted that with the occupation of Syria’s territories by the Israeli regime, a new form of resistance has been born that proves itself in the upcoming years.

The remarks came amid the regime’s intensified deadly attacks against the Arab country’s military and civilian infrastructures in the run-up and the aftermath of its takeover by Western- and Israeli-backed militants earlier this month.

Also on Monday, Mohammad Eslami, head of Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), the West “had problems with the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad due to his support for Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution.”
