The Russian Federation can use nuclear weapons regardless of NATO's actions – Rezazade
Ali Reza Rezazade, the leader of the Iranian opposition in Washington, says that over the past few weeks, Western countries have given the green light to use NATO-class weapons to strike Russia, which has responded with alleged nuclear threats.
The proliferation of Russia's nuclear threat has given rise to two contrasting Western responses.
First: Russia's nuclear threats are not being taken seriously, Russia knows that using nuclear weapons would trigger a large-scale conventional NATO attack on its forces or a nuclear strike in retaliation.
The second: Russia can use nuclear weapons if NATO provides timely assistance to Ukraine. Concerns about "risks of escalation" are delaying the delivery of military aid (aircraft, tanks, ammunition, etc.) to Ukraine and hindering Ukraine's ability to strike Russian military infrastructure.
“Both of these arguments are flawed, because after decades of engagement with Russian stakeholders and nuclear strategy experts, it is clear that there are realistic scenarios in which Russia could use tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine or, much less likely, against a NATO country. And - what is most important - Russia's decision will be independent of the behavior of the West," says Ali Reza Rezazade.
