From a threat in Hormuz to calls for a bomb: How Iran is reexamining its doctrines | Baruch Yedid

Baruch Yedid analyzes a strategic pattern in Iran: calls for a reexamination of the nuclear doctrine, similar to the process that the issue of the Strait of Hormuz underwent. Senior officials, parliament members, and religious figures are calling for a change in Khamenei's fatwa and progress toward actual nuclear weapons, but no official decision has been made yet.

Baruch Yedid's article on i24NEWS analyzes a recurring strategic pattern in Iran: what begins as a call to reexamine an old policy may turn into a move the regime is willing to implement. The author draws a comparison between the process Iran underwent regarding the Strait of Hormuz, where a marginal threat became a central strategic asset, and the current debate on the nuclear doctrine. The article quotes senior Iranian officials, including Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, who admits that the attacks on nuclear facilities have sparked demands for a reexamination. Parliament members, religious figures, and conservative media outlets are calling for a change in Khamenei's fatwa, enrichment of uranium to military levels, and even recognition of the right to possess a nuclear warhead. The author emphasizes that the lack of an official decision does not indicate insignificance, and that the very expansion of the boundaries of the debate is a sign of a possible shift in Iran's security perception.
