Iran is considering changing its nuclear doctrine if war resumes - Security Chief Iran remains a member of the NPT - but intends to defend its nuclear rights, said the secretary of Iran's Security Council, Mohsen Rezaei, to Iranian media. Following US attacks on its nuclear facilities, he noted the growing public calls for a change in Iran's nuclear policy, while emphasizing that no official decision has been made yet. "The question now is whether, if another war breaks out, we want to maintain the same doctrine as before," he said. Additional key points from Rezaei: Iran will not agree to negotiations with the US until its conditions are met; it intends to end the conflict in a way that "no one else will dare to attack Iran"; the Strait of Hormuz is not expected to reopen without Iran's demands being addressed. Regarding the letter from US Vice President J.D. Vance, Rezaei said he read it but has not yet replied, noting that "the tone has completely changed" compared to previous communication. He described this change as "one of the signs of the power and victory of the Iranian nation." Iran sees no reason to meet with US officials for now, as Qatar and Pakistan continue mediation efforts, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi emphasized earlier. He added that Iran's demands - including the lifting of sanctions and the reduction of US forces in the region - remain the same.
