The debate over a possible development of nuclear weapons is intensifying in Iran, where radical figures are increasingly openly calling for a change in doctrine, according to several internal sources.
Since the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei at the start of the conflict with the United States and Israel, the hardliners appear to be gaining influence within the government, particularly among the Revolutionary Guards.
Some officials and state media are now discussing the possibility of Tehran withdrawing from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, a major turning point in the country's strategy.
Until now, Iran has always denied wanting to acquire nuclear weapons, claiming that this option was forbidden for religious reasons, in accordance with a position defended by Ali Khamenei.
However, increasing pressure from military strikes and regional escalation is pushing some circles to question this doctrine.
According to sources close to the government, no official decision has yet been made in favor of manufacturing an atomic bomb.
But the debate, now public and more intense, suggests a possible strategic shift.
Calls for a tougher nuclear policy could further complicate diplomatic efforts and increase tensions with Western powers.
They also reflect an internal context disrupted by the war and the reshuffling of power in Tehran.
The evolution of this issue will be decisive for regional geopolitical balance and international security.

Why not? After all, Israel has them, even if it denies it. But the best solution would be the elimination of all nuclear weapons from our planet and, furthermore, the abandonment of the veto power within the UN Security Council. That alone would be a good thing.
