This was stated by political scientist Vitaliy Kulyk on Espreso TV.

“Iran is capable of making a "dirty" nuclear bomb now. The question is how many warheads they can produce, whether they have a delivery system, and to what extent this process of creating tactical nuclear weapons can be their own and independent, for example, from Russian technologies," Kulyk said.

He reminded that North Korea managed to create such .

"Iran has both the industrial and intellectual potential to establish such a production cycle. It can do it, especially if the situation in Ukraine drags on, if Russia gets what it can call a tactical victory. Then international relations will become chaotic, and countries with the potential to create weapons of mass destruction will start to create them. Despite sanctions, restrictions, and the threat of intervention. Then Iran will accelerate the creation of weapons and close this cycle. These are serious concerns," the political scientist summarized.
