The Iranian Government is considering reviewing its "nuclear doctrine" following Israeli threats.

This was revealed on Thursday by a top Iranian Revolutionary Guards officer, who explained Tehran's nuclear programme, which the government has always claimed is entirely peaceful.

Israel has stated that it will retaliate against Iran for the April 13 missile and drone attack, which Tehran claims was carried out as its response to a suspected Israeli strike on its embassy compound in Damascus on April 1.

 

 

 

"The threats of the Zionist regime (Israel) against Iran's nuclear facilities make it possible to review our nuclear doctrine and deviate from our previous considerations," Ahmad Haghtalab, the Guards commander in charge of nuclear security, was quoted as saying by the semi-official Tasnim news agency.

SaharaReporters had earlier reported how The Nigerian Government appealed for restraint on the escalating crisis between Iran and Israel.

SaharaReporters reported on Sunday that Iran launched a wave of drone and missile attacks toward Israel on Saturday night.

 

Tehran accused Israel of carrying out an airstrike on its consulate in the Syrian capital of Damascus earlier this month that killed seven officers of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force.

The G7 leaders later condemned Iran's retaliatory attack on Israel, reaffirming their commitment to Israel's security.

The Group of Seven or G7 is an intergovernmental political and economic forum consisting of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. Additionally, the European Union is a "non-enumerated member"

 

The Nigerian government in a statement issued by the spokesperson for the Nigerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mrs Francisca Omayuli, said that the onus was on the two countries to reflect on the universal commitment to peaceful resolution of conflict, for the advancement of global peace and security.
