Khamenei adviser says Tehran 'capable of building nuclear bomb,' Al Jazeera reports

A day after President Joe Biden ended his Middle East trip, senior advisor Kamal Kharrazi said that Iran has the technology to build a nuclear bomb.

Kharrazi's comments were a rare suggestion that Iran might have an interest in nuclear weapons, which it has long denied seeking.

"In a few days we were able to enrich uranium up to 60% and we can easily produce 90% enriched uranium ... Iran has the technical means to produce a nuclear bomb but there has been no decision by Iran to build one," Kharrazi said.
