Iran must develop atomic bomb if UN sanctions restored, senior MP says

Sep 20, 2025, 05:38 GMT+1Updated: 14:55 GMT+1

“The only way to preserve Iran’s territorial integrity and national security is to acquire nuclear weapons,” said a member of the parliament’s presiding board.

“Withdrawing from the NPT, adopting a policy of ambiguity and ultimately testing the atomic bomb is the only option that can spare Iran the fate of Iraq and Libya,” said Ahmad Naderi.

“Experience has shown that countries without nuclear deterrence eventually become victims of invasion or regime change. The time has come to make hard but necessary decisions.”
