A senior Iranian lawmaker Saturday renewed demands that Tehran build an atomic bomb shortly after Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei issued a defiant statement ordering military preparations for “an immediate and unrestricted response” against the US and Israel.
asserted
Khamenei → renew → US
“Given the threats facing the Iranian nation, it can be confidently stated that a change in the nuclear doctrine is the demand of the overwhelming majority of the heroic people of Iran,” Mahmoud Nabavian, a hardline member of Iran’s Parliament for Tehran, wrote on X.
“We must respond at the same level at which the enemy attacks us,” he added in a second post, citing a verse from the Quran that says one should retaliate against any aggression in equal measure.
asserted
one → give → measure
“The nuclear doctrine is determined and promulgated based on the country’s security and defense conditions,” he insisted.
asserted
he → determine → conditions
Nabavian, the former first deputy chairman of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, had previously urged the Khamenei to greenlight an atomic bomb — a position he’s held since at least 2024.
asserted
he → urge → 2024
His latest demand comes as Iran faces the prospect of renewed military action by the US and Israel — and marks a public push by hardliners to overturn Tehran’s longstanding official opposition to nuclear weapons.
asserted
Iran → come → weapons
Nabavian’s call followed a brash statement by Khamenei ordering the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to update its list of US and Israeli targets to include all “physical and non-physical” assets within the reach of Iranian forces.
asserted
call → follow → forces
“If the enemies once again launch military attacks, it is the armed forces of the Islamic Republic and the Iranian nation that will determine the time and conditions for ending them,” he said in a statement on his official social media accounts and broadcast on state media.
asserted
he → launch → media
The directive comes amid growing fears of renewed war in the Middle East, with the supreme leader now declaring Tehran will no longer limit itself to the region.
asserted
Tehran → come → region
“Any level or type of threat must be met with an immediate, impactful, and geographically unrestricted response,” he wrote on his official X account.
“The spirit of jihad must be strengthened,” he proclaimed in another post.
asserted
he → meet → post
Khamenei met Saturday with Armed Forces Chief of Staff Ali Abdollahi, Army Commander Amir Hatami and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Commander Ahmad Vahidi.
asserted
Khamenei → meet → Abdollahi
The IRGC-affiliated Tasnim news agency described the directive as a significant expansion of Iran’s position, saying Tehran was no longer restricting military action to the Middle East.
asserted
Tehran → affiliate → East
Abdollahi said Iran’s armed forces have already prepared a new list of US and Israeli targets and assets across a wider geographical area, warning of an “unimaginable response” to any renewed attacks.
“We will respond to the enemy with great force and intensity, without geographical limits,” Abdollahi, said in a message, Iran International reported.
asserted
International → say → message
Senior lawmaker Mojtaba Zarei said any location used to launch an attack against Iran could become a military target.
uncertain
location → say → Iran
“The Islamic Republic’s new defense doctrine is based on the principle that any location from which an attack against Iran originates can fall within the scope of the country’s defensive response,” said Zarei, a member of parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee.
asserted
Zarei → base → Committee
The threats come amid growing fears that diplomatic efforts to prevent another round of fighting could collapse, with US and Iranian officials weighing possible negotiations in Qatar.

officials → come → Qatar
