Iran slams U.S. plan to resume nuclear tests as "serious threat"

Tehran [Iran], November 1: Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi on Thursday condemned the United States' plan to resume nuclear weapons testing, calling it a "serious threat" to international peace and security.
Araghchi made the comments on social media platform X hours after U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he had "instructed the Department of War to start testing our nuclear weapons."
Araghchi said the United States poses the world's "most dangerous proliferation risk" and urged the international community to hold Washington accountable for "normalizing the proliferation of such heinous weapons."
He also accused Washington of "demonizing Iran's peaceful nuclear program" while threatening strikes on Iranian facilities "in blatant violation of international law."
The United States has long accused Iran of seeking to develop nuclear weapons, a charge Tehran denies. On June 22, U.S. forces joined Israel in airstrikes on Iran, targeting nuclear sites at Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan.
