Iran's security chief, Mohsen Rezaei, declared that his nation will not permit any enriched nuclear material to depart the country, and that there will be repercussions if the United States strikes Iran again. Rezaei addressed Lebanon's Al Mayadeen TV following comments from U.S. officials suggesting that additional military action against Iran is unnecessary, a position influenced by President Donald Trump's more diplomatic approach since the November 3 midterm elections.
Rezaei emphasized that there are currently no talks between Tehran and Washington. Should the U.S. launch new attacks, Iran would retaliate by targeting U.S. bases abroad, including those in Europe if they were utilized to carry out strikes on Iran, he added. According to two senior Iranian sources, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has instructed that Iran's uranium nearing weapons-grade should not be exported.
Rezaei explained that Iran requires the enriched material to construct nuclear-powered ships and submarines.
