Mohammad Hossein Azimi, secretary-general of Iran's Islamic Revolution Front, said that if the United States makes another 'mistake' and attacks Iran, Tehran will immediately build a nuclear bomb. He added that Iran has the capability to quickly produce 30 heavy warheads and 400 tactical warheads. The statement is the latest in a series of escalating Iranian threats amid heightened US-Iran tensions.
Mohammad Hossein Azimi, secretary-general of Iran's Islamic Revolution Front, a principlist political party, issued the threat via the source on Wednesday evening. "If there is again a mistake by the United States and it attacks us, we will immediately build a nuclear bomb," Azimi was quoted as saying. He claimed Iran can produce 30 heavy warheads and 400 tactical warheads quickly. The statement comes amid a sharp escalation in US-Iran rhetoric. As The Zioneer has reported, over the past 72 hours: an Iranian security chief warned the conflict 'will no longer be limited to the region'; unverified reports described missile and drone launches from southern Iran toward the Gulf; and the IRGC commander gave President Trump an ultimatum linking any nuclear deal to an immediate cash payment. Azimi's threat is the most explicit nuclear-weaponization warning from an Iranian political figure in the current crisis. Azimi is a senior figure in the hardline political camp but does not hold a direct military or nuclear command role. The claim of rapid warhead production has not been independently verified, and no official Iranian military or atomic-energy body has echoed it on the record.
