Iran Resumes Testing Nuclear Bomb Detonators

Iran will soon resume testing nuclear bomb detonators, according to an August 13 report by Iran International.

At least 90 percent of Iran’s population believes a global calamity will directly lead to the return of Islam’s messiah. To hasten that outcome, many Iranians believe in stirring up global chaos, including the use of nuclear weapons on enemies, even if it prompts return fire that obliterates their nation.

Details: United States intelligence had previously said Iran “isn’t currently undertaking the key nuclear weapons development activities necessary to produce a testable nuclear device.” However, in the Director of National Intelligence’s 2024 report—released in July—that statement was replaced with “[Iran has] undertaken activities that better position it to produce a nuclear device ….”

Conflict between Iran and its proxies and Israel is intensifying. This, in turn, is intensifying Iran’s motivation to finish its nuclear detonators, warheads and missiles—and to begin using them.

We call on the Supreme National Security Council to review the new circumstances and recommend to the supreme leader that, considering dynamic Islamic jurisprudence, the path be cleared for the development of nuclear weapons.
—Mohammed-Reza Sabbaghian, Iranian lawmaker

Prophesied push: Bible prophecy says Iran will play a major role in a coming nuclear World War iii. The global calamity many Iranians seek will soon be reality.
