“We’ll see soon enough,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, as quoted by Reuters. “Other countries are doing it. If they do it, we’ll do it too,” he added.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned against the US government’s announcement that it would resume nuclear weapons testing, calling it a regressive and irresponsible act that poses a global threat.
In a statement released on Thursday, Arraguchi criticized the US for changing its name from the Department of Defense to the Department of the Army and accused the US of being a “nuclear-armed bully.”
“The same bullies are now demonizing Iran’s peaceful nuclear program and threatening further attacks on its secure nuclear facilities, all in blatant violation of international law,” Iran’s foreign minister said.
He has long criticized Iran’s peaceful nuclear program and at the same time accused the United States of restarting its own nuclear weapons tests, arguing that this action violates international law.
“Make no mistake, the United States is the most dangerous nuclear proliferation risk in the world,” Aragushi said, insisting that resuming nuclear tests would pose a serious threat to international peace and security, Press TV reported.
He also called the announcement of a resumption of nuclear testing a regressive and irresponsible act, and appealed to the international community to come together to hold the United States accountable for the continued proliferation of nuclear weapons.
