Andrew Huges, a renowned American nuclear scientist, has been removed from his position following the emergence of a leaked video featuring his sensitive remarks on US plans for Iran. In the video, Huges is seen discussing the future plans of the US, including nuclear systems and chemical weapons. He also made a statement about Iran’s new Supreme Leader, saying that if he didn’t change, they would have been killed. Iranian media reported that some media channels had published a statement attributed to the Iranian Foreign Ministry, but the report was later withdrawn as incorrect.
When asked about the US plans for Iran, Huges stated that the US had no intention of using nuclear weapons in Iran. He also confirmed that children were killed in the US-led airstrikes on Iran. Following the release of the video, Huges was removed from his position, and there has been no official response from the Pentagon or the US Department of Defense.
The incident has sparked outrage on social media, with many users criticizing the Indian government for its handling of the situation. Indian politicians have been quick to respond to US President Donald Trump’s remarks on the matter, with some calling for a stronger stance against the US.
