Ali Larijani, a senior advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, has issued a stark warning regarding the potential trajectory of Iran's nuclear program should the country face military aggression from the United States.

In remarks made on state television, Larijani emphasized that while a fatwa issued by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei prohibits the development of nuclear weapons, a military attack from the U.S. could compel the Iranian populace to reconsider this stance.

On the same day, Khamenei declared that the United States would receive a 'severe blow' if it acted upon threats made by then-President Donald Trump concerning military action should Iran fail to reach a new nuclear agreement with Washington.

Larijani noted that even American analysts recognize that an attack on Iran would drive the nation towards nuclear armament.

Iran formally communicated this warning to U.S. interests through the Swiss embassy in Tehran, denoting a commitment to a decisive and immediate response to any perceived threats.

This message follows a recent communication from President Trump, wherein he allocated a two-month timeframe for Iran to decide on negotiations regarding its nuclear program, threatening military action if negotiations did not materialize.

Khamenei, in a recent Eid al-Fitr speech, reiterated that any aggression against Iran would elicit a strong response, cautioning the United States and Israel against instigating unrest within Iran, as Iranian citizens would respond autonomously.

Larijani criticized the ambiguity of the U.S. stance in the correspondence with Iran, posing questions to U.S. officials regarding their true intentions and what concessions they might offer.

Larijani downplayed the efficacy of a military strike against Iranian nuclear facilities, asserting that even in the event of an assault, progress on the nuclear front would only be delayed by one or two years due to prior preparations made by Iran.

He characterized Trump's belligerent approach as globally consequential, suggesting it could lead to unintended military actions, although he acknowledged the possibility of such actions being low.

Larijani also raised concerns about purported external plots to instigate chaos within Iran and underscored the impossibility of coercing the Iranian populace to abandon their revolutionary principles.

The U.S., according to Larijani, has been exerting pressure on Western nations to inhibit their relations with Iran, despite a significant interest from many of these countries to engage independently with Tehran.

He defended Iran's military intervention in Syria, describing it as a necessary step for national security, undertaken in coordination with regional allies to combat terrorism.

Larijani asserted that this intervention successfully deterred threats prior to reaching Iranian borders, thereby enhancing regional security and validating investments in national defense.

In a broader context, President Trump has also issued warnings to the Houthi rebels in Yemen and their Iranian backers, indicating severe consequences should attacks on U.S. naval vessels continue.

Following reports of U.S. airstrikes against Yemen, which were confirmed by Houthi-affiliated media, Trump reiterated the need for the cessation of hostilities against American interests, framing the potential for further actions against the Houthis as imminent.

These tensions occur against the backdrop of ongoing conflict in Gaza, in which the Houthis have launched numerous missile attacks purportedly in solidarity with Palestine, complicating the regional security landscape.
