Iran responds to Trump: "We are producing more destructive weapons"

Iranian parliament member Ebrahim Rezai called today, Thursday, to respond to Donald Trump's announcement by withdrawing from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. Rezai wrote on his X account:

"The best response to the escalation of Trump's economic war is withdrawal from the NPT (Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons)."

In addition to Rezai, a general in the Revolutionary Guards, Hossein Mohebi, said:

"If a war breaks out, our weapons in all areas will be completely different from before. Whether in terms of warhead quality, strike accuracy, missile range, or any other field."

He further said that Iran is working to produce "more accurate, more destructive, and more technologically advanced" weapons. Iran, which is a signatory to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, does not stop claiming that its nuclear program is intended for "peaceful purposes." This is while they continue with threats and refuse to hand over uranium or even allow IAEA inspectors to enter their facilities.

The remarks by the Iranian officials come after Donald Trump announced a new economic campaign against Iran, which he said would be "the toughest economic step ever taken against any country," and would include expanding the scope of isolation and pressure on countries and institutions that provide Tehran with financial or commercial channels. This is not new for Iran, as it has been dealing with American economic sanctions for decades, ever since the events of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The Iranian rial has already become the weakest currency in the world, with one dollar equal to no less than one million rials. Therefore, it only remains to wonder how the president can further harm the regime economically.
