Tehran | 31 October 2026

Statement from Parliament

Ebrahim Rezaei, member of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee:

“After paying all the costs, it is time to reconsider our nuclear doctrine.”

Friday Sermon from Tehran

Sheikh Mohammad Javad Haj Ali Akbari:

• Reconsidering Iran’s nuclear doctrine is a popular demand, not one associated with any particular faction or political movement.

• Such a reassessment would strengthen deterrence and safeguard national security.

• The Iranian people have gained

“awareness and insight”

through their experiences with parties that crossed red lines and reneged on agreements.

The Most Important Figure

According to local opinion polls, more than 70% of Iranians support reconsidering the country’s nuclear doctrine.

The Bottom Line

What began as an internal debate has evolved into a broad national consensus — and the pressure is now on Iran’s leadership to make a decision.
