Tehran Friday Prayer Leader Calls on Experts to Propose Nuclear Doctrine Revisions

What happened: Hojjatoleslam Haj Ali Akbari said the Supreme Leader’s recent message on responsible elites and five scientific priorities maps a civilizational roadmap based on science and power, and urged experts to submit proposals to revise the country’s nuclear doctrine. He also said the United States, failing to achieve results through pressure and confrontation, has turned to letters, intermediaries and requests to negotiate, but that the Iranian people will not be deceived by U.S. correspondence and negotiation requests because experience shows such talks and letters can be more dangerous than overt military threats.
