"Our hands are not tied" response from Iran to the possibility of using nuclear weapons

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Kazem Garibabadi said that in case nuclear weapons are used against his country, they will not be satisfied with taking legal action at the international level, his country will take the necessary measures in such circumstances and "their hands will not be tied".

According to Iran's official news agency IRNA, Garibabadi, who made a statement to the press in Tehran, touched upon allegations that a nuclear attack was planned on Iran.

Garibabadi said, "Iran will not be content to just stand by and take legal action at the international level in case nuclear weapons are used against the country. Our hands are not tied." he said.

Garibabadi said that nuclear weapons threats against Iran would undermine the credibility of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), adding: "If the head of state, military or political official of a country that has nuclear weapons and is a party to the agreement threatens to use such weapons, the NPT regime can no longer maintain its credibility." made his assessment.

American journalist Tucker Carlson, who is considered one of the most influential media figures of conservative politics in the USA, claimed on November 2, based on an unnamed source, that the Donald Trump administration, under the pressure of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was considering the option of a nuclear attack to destroy the nuclear facility allegedly located in Mount Kazma.
