According to CoinMeta, Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, warned that Iran might reconsider its non-nuclear stance in the aftermath of U.S. sanctions, a development that has introduced new geopolitical risk premiums to the oil market. Rezaei’s remarks, coming from Iran’s security decision-making center and carrying significant institutional weight, could draw attention to the possibility of Tehran restricting access by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) or accelerating uranium enrichment activities in the future. As economic pressure from Washington intensifies, Tehran may use nuclear ambiguity as a bargaining chip rather than indicating an imminent change in policy. Analysts believe that the possibility of Iran seeking nuclear weapons makes earlier reports seem more moderate, and Rezaei’s statement marks a direct nuclear signal from Iran’s security decision-making layer.
