That means our policy is to have a nuclear bomb, but the policy we have declared is now within the framework of the JCPOA. Yes,” Ahmad Bakshaesh al-Destani told an Iran-based news agency.

Mr. Aldestani, who was re-elected as Iran’s sub-parliamentary member in March, said, “The reason is that when countries want to confront other countries, their capabilities need to be compatible, and it is impossible for Iran to be compatible with the United States or Israel. , because it would mean Iran would have to have nuclear weapons.” ”
An Iranian lawmaker said: “In a situation where Russia attacks Ukraine, Israel attacks Gaza, and Iran is an ardent supporter of the resistance front, it is only natural that the containment system requires Iran to possess a nuclear bomb.” But Iran has declared that that is a separate matter.” Fox News Digital referred media questions to Iran’s Foreign Ministry in Tehran and its mission to the United Nations in New York.
Experts on Iran’s illegal nuclear weapons program warned of Mr. Aldestani’s seemingly speculative statements. Jason Brodsky, policy director for the U.S.-based Iran Opposition Alliance, told Fox News Digital: “Mr. Aldestani is just a member of Congress and is not part of the core of the regime’s nuclear policy-making circles. are interesting, but I think they need to be considered properly given his access and position.”
Just two days before Aldestani’s announcement, Kamal Khalazi, chairman of Iran’s Foreign and Strategic Council, told Al Jazeera Network Qatar, “Two years ago, in an interview with Al Jazeera TV, I said that Iran has absorption capacity.” announced,” he said. And although Iran still has the ability to build a nuclear bomb, we have not made the decision to build one. However, if Iran’s interests are threatened in this way, we may change this principle. Iran has announced that it may change our military doctrine regarding nuclear facilities if our nuclear facilities are attacked. ” US-based Middle East Media Institute (MEMRI) Translation Publishing Interview with Mr. Karaj on May 8th.

Brodsky said: “Karazi’s comments are part of an increasingly loud chorus of threats from Iranian officials that an Israeli attack on Iran would change Iran’s nuclear doctrine. “gives Iran leeway to make these threats because it wants to prevent Western countries from developing nuclear weapons.”Prevent policymakers from launching pressure campaigns against Tehran. ”
Critics of the Biden administration’s Iran policy argue that the White House’s strategy of de-escalation and containment, targeting Iran’s nuclear program, has backfired. The Iranian regime, the world’s worst state sponsor of international terrorism, is moving with alarming speed to acquire a usable nuclear arsenal.
Nuclear security alarms are ringing over Iran’s illegal nuclear development program in Europe. FOX News Digital has obtained an April intelligence report for Germany’s most populous state, North Rhine-Westphalia.
The German intelligence report notes that “Iran’s intensive procurement efforts for the Islamic Republic in Germany continue.” The German experts added that “proliferation-related activities by Iran in support of Iran’s nuclear and missile programs and to circumvent existing sanctions can still be assumed.” A State Department spokesperson previously told Fox News Digital: “As the president and the secretary have made clear, the United States will provide some form of guarantee that Iran will never acquire a nuclear weapon. “We continue to use various methods,” he said. That is the goal and all options remain on the table. ”
David Wormser, former senior adviser for nonproliferation and Middle East strategy to former Vice President Dick Cheney, told Fox News Digital, “The distance from where Iran is said to be to the equipment that will actually produce the product is still unknown.” It’s far away,” he said. We’re right, and that’s totally a proviso, but we know that North Korea has had interactions with Iranians, and we know that relations with North Korea go back many years. ”
Communist North Korea previously helped build an illegal nuclear reactor in Syria. The Israeli Air Force destroyed the reactor in 2007.

“We have to expect surprises because we are inherently going to discover that intelligence agencies are generally imperfect and opaque because so much is hidden,” Wormser said. In the Iraq War, I realized that I had imagined there was more than there actually was. And there was more than was commonly understood – but Iraq was actually very It’s a rare situation, and the plans of Pakistan, Russia, China, India, and even South Africa were all further ahead of what we expected when they were exposed. The same was true.”
The non-proliferation expert said: “Overall, I doubt Iran still has nuclear weapons, but whether its program is in a stable state, or even in a stable state with regard to weaponization. “I also doubt that Iran is promoting nuclear weapons and has nuclear weapons.” So, while there may still be some intention to go all the way, it will be short-lived, and of course the impact of the Iranian bomb will be devastating for the region, Israel’s survival and status. America’s power on earth. ”
The recent uproar by administration officials and members of Congress over Iran’s nuclear weapons program comes after International Atomic Energy Agency Director-General Rafael Grossi said on May 8 that the agency was “working very hard.” This is consistent with the statement made.
