Academic warns Iran hardliners’ stance on Israel risks further conflict

Oct 2, 2025, 21:45 GMT+1

Prominent academic and vocal critic of Tehran hardliners Sadegh Zibakalam warned that another clash between Iran and Israel could occur because there are those in Iran who still believe in “the mission of destroying Israel.”

The Tehran University professor said Iran possesses 400 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60% purity, enough to build at least 10 atomic bombs.

“When asked where these stockpiles are, they say ‘none of your business,’ and then it is said, ‘Why are the Israelis worried?’” he added.
