Iran denies US assertion it is 'months away' from developing nuclear bomb"Iran does not seek a nuclear weapon. If we wanted to build a nuclear weapon, we could have done it some time ago, but we decided that nuclear weapons would not augment our security and are in contradiction to our ideological views," Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Monday rejected allegations by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken that Tehran could be "weeks away" from developing enough fissile material for a nuclear bomb.
Speaking to NBC News, Blinken said that if Iran continued to violate the 2015 deal at the current rate, it could be "a matter of weeks" before it gets enough fissile material that, in turn, would allow it to build a nuclear weapon within months.
