One of Iran’s top advisors claims the country is capable of building a nuclear bomb.
The advisor has said the country is currently enriching uranium up to 60 per cent and could easily produce 90 per cent enriched uranium.
“In a few days we were able to enrich uranium up to 60 per cent and we can easily produce 90 per cent enriched uranium,” Kamal Kharrazi, a senior adviser to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said. “Iran has the technical means to produce a nuclear bomb but there has been no decision by Iran to build one”.
The warning came shortly after President Joe Biden completed a trip to the Middle East during which a joint declaration released by the US and Israel stressed the pair would not allow Iran to “acquire” such a deadly weapon. “The United States stresses that integral to this pledge is the commitment never to allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon, and that it is prepared to use all elements of its national power to ensure that outcome,” the statement said.
