In May this year, Kamal Kharraji, an advisor to Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khomeini, had said that Iran was being pressured to change its nuclear doctrine. He said, we have not taken any decision to make a nuclear bomb. But if Iran's existence is threatened, we will have to change our military doctrine.
Blinken's statement is also gaining momentum and
The American statement is also giving strength to the speculations related to nuclear testing. In July, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said it could take a week or two for Iran to gain the ability to produce fissile material for a nuclear bomb.
Atomic bombs are made from 90 percent enriched uranium.
According to a report by the International Atomic Energy Agency, Iran has enriched uranium up to 60 percent and its reserves have also seen a significant increase. An atomic bomb requires 90 percent enriched uranium. The agency believes that Iran is very close to developing a nuclear bomb.
Awaiting Israel's response

Iran then fired more than 180 ballistic missiles at Israel on October 1. Now Israel has said that it will take retaliatory action against Iran. It is believed that Israel can attack Iran at any time. However, Iran also made it clear that if Israel attacks, it will definitely respond.
