\"Iran<\/p>\n

As the clerical regime in Iran faces mounting international pressure with a new U.S. administration promising maximum sanctions, an Iranian MP has publicly urged Tehran to conduct a nuclear test, signaling a shift toward a more aggressive nuclear posture. Conservative <\/span>MP Ahmad Naderi<\/span><\/a> took to social media platform X on November 9 to demand an \u201cimmediate nuclear test\u201d as a means of achieving \u201cmaximum deterrence,\u201d adding that the test announcement \u201cis overdue.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Referring to recent claims that Iran successfully tested an intercontinental missile from Shahroud, Naderi argued that such activities have been a routine part of Iran\u2019s deterrence strategy. However, he emphasized that the next step, which \u201cmust be taken soon,\u201d is the testing and official announcement of a nuclear bomb. \u201cWhat needs to be done is clear: a nuclear test and a public declaration of it,\u201d Naderi stated, pushing for a policy that would enhance Iran\u2019s position in the face of what he describes as regional and global threats.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
