SAEDNEWS: Iranian lawmaker Alaeddin Boroujerdi stated that US artificial intelligence and advanced technology centers across the region are under surveillance and would be targeted in any potential future war.
According to Saednews, Alaeddin Boroujerdi, a member of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, said that investment in emerging technologies and artificial intelligence is among the United States’ key interests in the region. He warned that these centers would be targeted in any potential future war.
Speaking on a television program, Boroujerdi discussed the possibility of Iran withdrawing from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). He said the treaty was not established by the Islamic Republic, noting that Iran was already a member before the 1979 revolution and that its membership was subsequently approved by parliament. He added that membership commits Iran not to develop nuclear weapons.
According to Boroujerdi, withdrawing from the NPT would mean abandoning the commitment not to build a nuclear bomb and could have far-reaching political consequences. He said ending this commitment would mark the beginning of a nuclear weapons development phase and described withdrawal from the treaty as a bargaining tool that Iran should use in its political discourse.
He acknowledged that such a decision would carry significant consequences, emphasizing that any move to withdraw would require careful consideration of its implications. He added that the Supreme National Security Council is the body responsible for making such decisions.
Regarding Washington’s response to Iran’s seven conditions, Boroujerdi said that, to the best of his knowledge, the United States had accepted the conditions but had also introduced demands of its own. Although he said he lacked precise information, he suggested that the US demands were likely related to Iran’s nuclear program, particularly the transfer or dilution of its stockpile of uranium enriched to 60 percent.
Boroujerdi argued that the United States had no choice but to accept Iran’s conditions, pointing to Washington’s strategic interests in Arab countries along the Persian Gulf. He said Iran would not allow the United States to restore its previous level of regional presence.
Responding to recent threats by US President Donald Trump to launch a military attack against Iran, Boroujerdi reiterated that American investments in advanced technologies and artificial intelligence were among Washington’s major regional interests. He claimed that Iran was monitoring these facilities and warned that they would be targeted in any potential future conflict. He added that such a confrontation would reveal which side ultimately emerged victorious and which suffered defeat.
Asked whether Iran was considering coming under the nuclear umbrella of countries such as China and Russia, Boroujerdi said that, given the Islamic Republic’s current position and its national and Islamic dignity, he did not believe Iran’s leadership intended to place the country under the security umbrella of any other state, even its allies.
