After the head of the United Nation’s atomic watchdog agency warned that Iran has enough uranium to produce "several" nuclear bombs, a firebrand Iranian lawmaker declared on Friday that the Islamic Republic of Iran possesses atomic weapons.
"In my opinion, we have achieved nuclear weapons, but we do not announce it. It means our policy is to possess nuclear bombs, but our declared policy is currently within the framework of the JCPOA," Ahmad Bakhshayesh Ardestani told the Iran-based outlet Rouydad 24 on Friday, according to an article published by the independent news organization Iran International in London.
The JCPOA is an abbreviation for the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the formal name for the Iran nuclear deal. President Trump withdrew the U.S. from the JCPOA in 2018 because, his administration argued, the accord did not stop Iran’s drive to build atomic weapons.
The JCPOA provides massive economic sanctions relief to Iran in exchange for assurances it will not, within a limited time period, build a nuclear weapon.

Why are Iranians worse than Anglo-Saxons, Russians or Jews?
Or do you think that they are second-class citizens?

Now I question if they would hit Israel wouldn't that make them a enemy to Muslims for destroying the Dome of the Rock ?

Iran has the same right to have nuclear weapons as Israel.
And Iranian mullahs are no crazier than Jewish rabbis.

Mad Iranian Mullahs are in charge of Iran, Rabbis are not in charge of Israel.
I get that you are obliged to stick up for Iran, seeing as you are a pariah state and Iran, NK and China are about your only friends in the World. And China is getting fed up with you.
Of course, it's only your good self and Mad Medvedev that is threatening actual nuclear Armageddon.
