New oil and gas field found in South China Sea

Calls for Iran to develop a nuclear weapon are intensifying after US and Israeli strikes, with hardliners pushing for a major shift in policy. According to Reuters, influential voices within Tehran’s establishment are now questioning the long-standing ban on nuclear weapons. Despite the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran has not officially changed its nuclear doctrine — yet. Khamenei had previously declared nuclear weapons forbidden under Islam and upheld Iran’s commitments to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Now, hardliners are calling for Iran to withdraw from the treaty, with figures like Mohammad Javad Larijani urging a reassessment. Even state-linked outlets like Tasnim News Agency are advocating an exit.
