Iran’s hardline daily Kayhan, overseen by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, dismissed concerns over the nuclear program, arguing that even if Tehran were to develop one or two atomic bombs, they would not pose a serious threat compared to the United States’ vast stockpile.
"Even if Iran could produce one or several atomic bombs, it would not be considered a threat compared to the tens of thousands of atomic bombs held by the US and its allies," the editorial said, accusing Washington of using diplomacy to undermine what he called Iran’s real sources of strength: regional influence and military deterrence.
Director General of the UN's nuclear watchdog Rafael Grossi will visit Tehran this week ahead of the next round of talks between Iran and the United States which are expected to be held in Europe, The Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday.
