Ali Shamkhani, a senior advisor to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, said Sunday that US airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities would not derail the country’s nuclear capabilities, adding that Iran retains the capacity and political resolve to respond, APA reports citing Iran International.
“Even if nuclear sites are destroyed, the game isn’t over... enriched materials, indigenous knowledge, and political will remain,” Shamkhani said on X. “The initiative is now with the side that plays smart, avoids blind strikes. Surprises will continue!”
