Tehran is technically capable of making a nuclear bomb but has yet to decide whether to build it, a senior adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei told Al Jazeera's Arabic service on Sunday.
Tehran will also directly respond against Israel should its security be targeted, the report says citing the advisor.
"In a few days we were able to enrich uranium up to 60% and we can easily produce 90% enriched uranium ... Iran has the technical means to produce a nuclear bomb but there has been no decision by Iran to build one," Kamal Kharrazi said.

They should be. Obama gave them the money for that purpose.
Ya get the Bomb and then catch a few Israeli Bombs sounds like a good plan ,D’OH
Despite they propaganda, if you have enough fissile material building a nuclear bomb is very easy. The two hard parts are the refining the fissile material and then making it small enough to fit on a missile.
They most likely have had a nuke for a long time.
Imho, once the mullahs test the weapon, and if successful, then make Nantez and Bashir disappear.
Who? Don’t know yet.
5.56mm
And Biden wants to give them a Trillion Dollars just to say “we won’t”......
No question about it.
The detonators are a problem. But if NK can do it I’m sure Iran can.
If they do, they have a funny way of implying the certainty of Mutually Assured Destruction.
As in, they are not doing that. Which one might expect. Iffin’ they gots what you say they got!
We will not know they have the bomb until they use it. No announcement ahead of time, no explicit threats.
The Israelis may find out in time and do a preemptive strike (and be condemned for it).
I had always been told that the sands in the Middle East make the most beautiful glass.....
Lying liars that lie. If not already, Iran will have a newkler device and will not announce it to the world until they know for certain there will be a checkmate.
Seems like a good way to get bombed by Israel and maybe some other Arab regional powers.
FYI: One does NOT need 90%+ Uranium 235 to make a nuclear bomb, which is merely achieving an uncontrolled chain reaction. Instead, 16 to 20 percent pure is sufficient, BUT then a larger device with more unraium and a different geometry is required. So instead of a plane, a missile, or an artillery shell as the delivery vehicle, think of a large truck, or a railroad car, or a ship.
Yep, they are liars!!
We’re giving them MORE. Up to 1 trillion by 2030.
How much does it weigh and how big is it?
Those are important questions.
Hopefully we never discover the answer.
They have the refining part down pretty good, despite what Stuxnet did.
Iranian missile tech is also quite good.
Kind of funny seeing Khomeinei wearing a paper veil.
