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.

I don't know if this is just talk or not, but I have wondered if Iran crossed the nuclear threshold recently.

Of course they have the capacity to build nuclear weapons. They did long ago. They are sitting on a huge stockpile of highly enriched uranium. If they have not actually built nuclear weapons, it is for political and strategic reasons, not technical.

Yup, Obama probably arranged for the nukes to be delivered whether Iran produced any or not.

It wouldn’t surprise me at all. What do you think they got in exchange for all of those drones they are sending to Russia? I would be that not only do they have nukes, they have the method to deliver them as well.

Russia, Iran, and North Korea are the Axis powers of the 21st century.

Obama and Biden have made sure Tehran gets nukes. Valery Jarrett is the worm in Obama’s ear.

Obama: we won’t allow Iran to have nukes.

Trump Iran will not be allowed to have nukes.

Biden: Duuuuuh!

Biden better hope to God that Israel takes them out. He is too indecisive to make any serious decisions.

Iran wants to thank Obama and Obama/Biden for their cooperation
and funding, that made this possible.

yes - they have rockets that are able to place satellites in LEO and by definition able to hit the continental US, if launched as ICBMs. However, that ability depends on the seize & weight of their weapons - too heavy, too bulky, no launch.

Trump put Iran $200 billion in debt. JoeB put Iran $100 billion in surplus - guess what they used the money for?

The way you know that this claim is untrue is that Tehran is still standing.
