Hossein Ali Haji Delighni, deputy chairman of the 90th Parliament Committee, told the Fars news agency: "Today, one of the demands of the people is that the Islamic Republic, in addition to its faith and its missiles, must build and possess a nuclear bomb."
On Saturday, November 14, referring to what he called "past opposition to the development of missile power," this MP added: "Just as some people were against having missiles in the past, today they may also question the necessity of a nuclear bomb."
Haji Deligeni added: "The Islamic Republic must have this ability and using it or not using it is another issue that will be decided at the appropriate time."
He also said that based on existing calculations, the enemy will not launch a nuclear attack due to the size of Iran and the wide consequences of a nuclear attack.
