Iran’s parliament will review a letter from MPs urging Iran to build nuclear weapons Deputy Speaker Ali Nikzad said on Friday.
“In the doctrine of the Islamic Republic, the production of an atomic bomb has never been raised and we pursue nuclear energy for its benefits in areas such as water transfer, power generation, agriculture and medicine,” Nikzad added.
The letter on building a bomb will be considered on Sunday, he said.
70 MPs sent a letter on September 22, requesting a change to the Supreme Leader’s earlier fatwa and urging the state to build and retain atomic weapons as a form of deterrence.
