Three-minute read<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Continuing a series of nuclear threats by Iranian regime officials, Fereydoon Abbasi, a member of the parliament’s Energy Commission and former head of the regime’s Atomic Energy Organization, has threatened the use of nuclear weapons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In an interview with the state-run website <\/span>Rouydad24, Abbasi stated<\/span><\/a>, “We do not believe in weapons of mass destruction, but it is unacceptable for those who possess such weapons to misuse their power. Everyone is aware that we have the capability to launch satellites, and a country that can launch satellites and place them in specific orbits possesses high standards.”<\/span><\/p>\n In a rebuke to Rafael Grossi, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), he said, “Iran’s nuclear doctrine is not fixed. However, the IAEA has proven that it is not an independent institution. Although Iran does not believe in weapons of mass destruction, it is unacceptable for those who possess such weapons to misuse their power.”<\/span><\/p>\n He added, “Nuclear weapons have two main prerequisites: material and technology. Our opponents have known for years that we have the capability to produce materials and are technologically advanced. Those who are knowledgeable understand what I am saying.”<\/span><\/p>\n In an interview with The Guardian published on May 14, <\/span>Rafael Grossi had urged<\/span><\/a> Tehran to refrain from nuclear weapons threats in their rhetoric.<\/span><\/p>\n #Iran<\/a> News: — NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) May 9, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
