Perezin Nadimi, the senior researcher for defense and security affairs, in response to Tucker Carlson's statement about the possibility of a US nuclear attack on the underground facilities of Calanzala, said that such an attack could lead to the destruction of the facilities, but it also carries the risk of releasing radioactive materials and widespread environmental pollution. Nadimi added that a possible US attack may not be limited to nuclear facilities and may also include missile bases, military industries and command centers of the Islamic Republic. According to him, Tehran's military response can expand the scope of the conflict to the energy infrastructure of the countries of the region and increase the possibility of prolonging the war.
