TEHRAN, November 9. /TASS/. If Iran wants to build a nuclear weapon, it won't take it long to do so, an Iranian lawmaker said.
"If such a decision is ever made, especially if the supreme leader says that we absolutely need to have a nuclear weapon, of course we will make one in the shortest possible time," the SNN news agency quoted Mohammad Esmail Kowsari as saying at a discussion session on the midterm elections in the United States.
According to Kowsani, Iran has "no particular problems" with the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, and so far sees no reason to withdraw from it, since the IAEA is "of no use at all." "If it were on any use, it would have at least condemned the United States, which bombed three of our nuclear sites during the 12-day war <...>. Second, according to the IAEA’s own rules and regulations, they should have been held accountable," he added.
