Mahmoud Naboyan's disagreement with himself Mahmoud Naboyan, the representative of the revolutionary movement in the parliament, who a few months ago openly opposed the purchase of nuclear weapons, now asked the leadership for permission to build an atomic bomb. He claims that this request is the demand of the people. The political and media activist Ali Asghar Shafiyan, in response to this claim, pointing to the low turnout in the parliamentary elections, believes that if a larger portion of the residents of Tehran had participated in these elections, people like Mr. Naboyan would not have been in the parliament, and their anti-national security views would not have been reflected as the opinion of the member of parliament.
