Kamal Kharazi, head of Iran's Strategic Council for Foreign Relations, said this at a meeting of the Arab-Iranian Dialogue in Tehran, AzVision.az reports citing Anadolu Agency.
Kharrazi said there is a nuclear weapons problem in the region emanating from Israel.
"If any country wants to threaten Iran with nuclear weapons, we can revise our nuclear doctrine. The leadership of the revolution (Khamenei) has a fatwa that nuclear weapons are forbidden, but if the enemy threatens you, you must change your doctrine," warned the head of Iran's Strategic Council on Foreign Relations.
Following the Israeli attack on Iran's consulate building in Damascus on 1 April, some politicians in the country said Khamenei's fatwa could change and Tehran could also start producing nuclear weapons.
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said on 27 April that, in accordance with Khamenei's fatwa, there is no place in Iran's nuclear and defence doctrine for the production of nuclear weapons.
And IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said Tehran has enough enriched uranium to make "several" nuclear bombs if it wanted to.
