Iranian Majles Member Mohammad-Qasim Osmani: Iran Must Build Nuclear Weapons For Deterrence Purposes; Nuclear Technology Will Place Iran On Equal Footing In Negotiations
On April 7, 2025, Iranian Majles member Mohammad-Qasim Osmani posted a speech on his Instagram account in which he stated that "global arrogance" leaves Iran with no option but military confrontation. He argued that Iran must pursue a "rapid and relentless advance" toward developing nuclear weapons as a deterrent. Osmani claimed that possessing nuclear capabilities would place Iran on equal footing in future negotiations.
Mohammad-Qasim Osmani: "Avoiding a military confrontation is very sound and logical, but the outrageous demands of Global Arrogance are such that they leave us no other way than this path. So unless we hold the tools to deal with their outrageous force and demands, the only way is a rapid and relentless advance towards building nuclear weapons as a means of deterrence.
"Due to the high price that nuclear technology has levied on the country, it should be useful in every field, especially in security, because today, nuclear technology should place us on equal footing in the negotiations."
