Former Head of IRGC International Relations Gen. Ebrahim Rostami Acknowledges Iran Was Behind the 2019 Fujairah Port Bombings, Adds: Perhaps We Should Manufacture Nuclear Weapons for Deterrence

In a recent interview with Didbaniran.ir on October 15, 2024, former head of the IRGC International Relations General Ebrahim Rostami outlined potential Iranian retaliatory measures in response to an Israeli strike on Iranian nuclear or oil facilities. He said that if Israel strikes Iranian nuclear sites, Iran would respond against Israeli nuclear and oil facilities. Rostami said that the Zionist regime’s resources are limited, whereas the Iranian resources are vast. He explained that Israel doesn’t have more than three oil facilities, and if they are targeted, then Israel is in a bind, while Iran has many oil facilities. Rostami said that Iran has the technological capabilities of building a nuclear bomb and that the only thing preventing it is the fatwa of the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. However, he qualified, this does not prevent Iran from manufacturing a nuclear bomb. Rostami said that Iran’s deterrence capabilities far exceed nuclear weapons.
