Journalist and political analyst Jamshid Barzgar said that Mujtaba Khamenei's absence from the public has reduced the impact of the threats attributed to him, but senior military commanders repeat them. According to him, Mohsen Razai is trying to increase the pressure on the United States and Western countries by raising the possibility of withdrawing from the NPT and changing the nuclear doctrine. By threatening to spread the war outside the region, especially to Europe, the Islamic Republic wants to force European countries to put pressure on Washington to avoid a military attack, Berzger added. He also said that despite ongoing diplomatic efforts, the possibility of a new military conflict was increasing.
