amending the nuclear doctrine; How and from what direction? After raising the issue of Iran's need to withdraw from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) in public circles and booths and public gatherings, it is time to raise the issue of revising Iran's nuclear doctrine in such places.

The recent statements of some Friday imams show that this discussion is becoming one of the demands raised in the public sphere of the country. Iran's nuclear policy, due to its direct connection with national security, foreign relations, the economy and the future of the country, is not a subject to which public opinion is indifferent. People have a right to ask questions and make demands about the general directions of the country. But the main issue is not the right of the people to express their opinions or demands, but how to turn a public demand into a political and strategic decision.

People can and should make demands about the nuclear doctrine; But instead of shaping, reviewing and coordinating the country's strategic doctrines, more than anywhere else, it is specialized upstream institutions that take into account all aspects and respond intelligently to national interests and make decisions. Experience has shown that the results of the decisions of such institutions coincide with the demands of the people. Read the full text at the link below.
