Iran Considers Nuclear Test Amid Rising Tensions with Israel

An Iranian lawmaker, Ahmad Naderi, has called for Tehran to conduct a nuclear test, following reports of an intercontinental ballistic missile test in northern Iran. This comes amid heightened tensions with Israel, which recently conducted airstrikes on Iranian missile facilities. Former foreign minister Kamal Kharrazi hinted that Iran might reconsider its self-imposed missile range limit and potentially develop nuclear weapons if faced with existential threats, despite a 2010 fatwa against weapons of mass destruction.
