️🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱 NYT: Calls for Iran to develop nuclear weapons are gaining prominence among Iranian religious leaders and political officials following the country's wars with the US and Israel.
According to the report, a position once largely confined to hardline circles is increasingly entering the mainstream political debate, with some officials arguing that the acquisition of nuclear weapons is necessary to deter future attacks by the US and Israel.
Iran's security chief, Mohsen Razai, acknowledged the ongoing discussions on whether Tehran should maintain its previous nuclear doctrine, but emphasized that no new decision had been made. Meanwhile, President Masoud Pazhkian and other political figures continue to support Iran's official peaceful nuclear policy.
