Iranian lawmaker warns Israeli strike could push Tehran toward nuclear weapons
An Iranian lawmaker backed Tehran's plans to target Israel and warned that any Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear facilities would legitimize Tehran advancing toward nuclear weapons development.
“If Israel conducts a military strike against Iran's nuclear facilities, it effectively grants us the permission to move toward developing nuclear weapons," Ahmad Bakhshayesh Ardestani, a member of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of Iran’s parliament, told Didban news website in Tehran.
