A top Iranian official and close adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader says his country should have never signed the nuclear deal that has now been renounced by President Trump. More on this tonight on NBCNightlyNews
He denied Iran is seeking nuclear weapons, since he said they are forbidden under Islam and have not provided security to those who have them, like Israel. He also denied that he had a"military wish" for Israel's destruction, saying the Palestinian people would decide Israel's fate.
To the Iranians, said Shamkhani, Trump seems to want the same things as all his predecessors as U.S. president, which is to diminish Iran's influence. But Should the U.S. and Iran become engaged in an open military conflict, Shamkhani told Holt, Iran has"multiple instruments at hand, including the proxy war," but he did not specify who those proxies might be. Iran is a long-time supporter of Hezbollah, Hamas and Yemen's Houthi rebels.
