Irã mudará doutrina nuclear se existência for ameaçada, diz assessor do líder supremo

DUBAI (Reuters) – O Irã mudará sua doutrina nuclear se Israel ameaçar sua existência, disse um assessor do líder supremo do Irã, o mais recente comentário de uma autoridade iraniana que levanta questões sobre o que Teerã diz ser seu programa nuclear pacífico.

Teerã sempre afirmou que não tinha planos de obter armas nucleares. Os governos ocidentais suspeitam que o Irã deseja a tecnologia nuclear para construir uma bomba; seu programa nuclear tem sido o centro de uma longa disputa que levou a sanções.

Em abril, no meio de um tenso impasse com Israel, que se acredita ter armas nucleares, um comandante sênior da Guarda Revolucionária Iraniana também disse que as ameaças israelenses poderiam levar o Irã a mudar sua doutrina nuclear.

“Não temos a decisão de construir uma bomba nuclear, mas se a existência do Irã for ameaçada, não haverá outra escolha a não ser mudar nossa doutrina militar”, afirmou Kamal Kharrazi, assessor do líder supremo, aiatolá Ali Khamenei, à Student News Network do Irã na quinta-feira.

Em 2022, o mesmo assessor disse que o Irã era tecnicamente capaz de fabricar uma bomba nuclear, mas ainda não havia decidido se iria construí-la.

Khamenei, que tem a palavra final sobre o programa nuclear de Teerã, proibiu o desenvolvimento de armas nucleares em uma fatwa, ou decreto religioso, no início dos anos 2000.
