On Tuesday, Iranian cleric Mohammad Baqer Kharrazi called for his country to acquire a nuclear bomb and use it in the Atlantic Ocean to create massive tsunamis that would reach the American coast.
During a speech at the Arbaeen commemoration of Imam Hussein in Iran, Kharrazi said , “The only way to save the country is to make an atomic bomb and detonate it, so that others realize they are dealing with a madman.”
He added that Iran “should build the atomic bomb and launch it into the Atlantic Ocean, to create a tsunami whose waves would reach the shores of the United States.”
The Iranian cleric attacked officials and figures who opposed the acquisition of nuclear weapons, including President Masoud Pezeshkian and members of the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations, which was headed by his uncle Kamal Kharrazi, who was killed during an American bombing in Tehran last April, accusing them of hindering the manufacture of the nuclear bomb.
He said that those who opposed this option based on technical and political assessments “will have to provide answers in the afterlife,” and he also criticized the religious edict that prohibits the manufacture and use of nuclear weapons.
Mohammad Baqer Kharrazi is the Secretary-General of the so-called “Hezbollah Iran” and also manages a newspaper of the same name. He has previously stirred controversy within the country with hardline political statements, the latest of which was his talk about the resignation of the Iranian president.
