The disturbing confession in Iran about nuclear weapons: "Like North Korea"

After years of denial, politicians and figures close to the regime in Iran are speaking openly about the need for nuclear weapons, presenting them as a deterrent against Israel and the US. An Iranian source claims that Tehran should follow North Korea's path, noting that support for developing a bomb has surged to over 50% since the outbreak of the war.

Politicians and figures close to the regime in Iran are speaking openly about the need to develop nuclear weapons, presenting them as an essential deterrent against further attacks by Israel and the United States. According to a report in the Financial Times, voices are growing among the extremist camp in Iran supporting withdrawal from the international Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). An activist close to elements in this camp declared that 'achieving nuclear weapons for Iran is not an aspiration, but a need more important than bread.' Parliament member Hassan Kashkavi said Iran needs a significant deterrent. Another source pointed to North Korea as a model, claiming that since the outbreak of the war, support for developing an atomic bomb has surged from 'almost zero to over 50%,' although no independent data was presented to substantiate this assessment.
