An Iranian lawmaker, Ahmad Bakhshayesh Ardestani, has claimed that the country owns atomic weapons.
The development came on Friday, May 11, after the director of UN watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, issued an alert on May 6 that Iran has sufficient uranium to produce "several" nuclear bombs.
The Iranian lawmaker Ahmad Bakhshayesh Ardestani, who was re-elected to Iran’s quasi-parliament in March, said, “In my opinion, we have achieved nuclear weapons, but we do not announce it," reported Iran-based news outlet Rouydad 24.
Ardestani, who was re-elected to Iran’s quasi-parliament in March, added, "The reason is that when countries want to confront others, their capabilities must be compatible, and Iran's compatibility with America and Israel means that Iran must have nuclear weapons,"
The Iranian parliament member noted, "In a climate where Russia has attacked Ukraine and Israel has attacked Gaza, and Iran is a staunch supporter of the Resistance Front, it is natural for the containment system to require that Iran possess nuclear bombs.
However, whether Iran declares it is another matter." Fox News Digital sent press queries to Iran’s Foreign Ministry in Tehran and its U.N. mission in New York.

The fears of Israel and the West has been unveiled.
Now, what would they do?
@FreedomBobbyPatriot2yrs2Y
They have 1 weapon. We would nuke them from just off shore and wipe them from the earth forever
Not a threat. Tehran can't use it, including Russia making boast of nuke, can't use it. But I can assure you that, very soon, with the way Russia is facing threat from the west. Russia can use a bomb, not chemical, to cause havoc. It's not nuke, but it's powerful than nuke.

Blood-hungry warmonger SC Senator Lindsey Graham suggests Nukes on Palestine & Iran should be ok.
“Why was it ok for Americans to drop two nuclear bombs on Hiroshima & Nagasak…I thought it was ok for Israel to do whatever they have to do to survive as a Jewish state”.
Iranian lawmaker announced that Iran ‘technically’ owns nuclear weapons but hasn't declared them as to not violate the all but dead JCPOA. Biden eased sanctions on the condition Iran not officially/publicly declare it has nuclear weapons. Will Biden resume sanctions?
I have been saying that Iran has nukes since 2015,at that time Tehran bazaar news stated that they are kept deep inside mountain storages,away from evil eyes, some tactical 1 kt and 2 kt may have already been delivered to Hezbollah for any final resolution of threats by enemies.
