Iranian Security Expert Abolfazl Bazargan: "That Beautiful Mushroom Rise" would deter enemies and warn Tel Aviv; Iran's survival depends on its ability to build a bomb
In an interview on the Khate Energy YouTube video posted on July 13-15, 2025, Iranian international security expert Abolfazl Bazargan discussed Iran's need for a large nuclear bomb that would serve as a deterrent.
He said that smaller, tactical nuclear weapons are meant to be used but are not powerful enough, whereas larger bombs that can be tested would serve as an effective deterrent.
He said that Iran needs to produce a large nuclear bomb, test it, and have "that beautiful mushroom rise" which would tell Iran's enemy that if it continues its attacks and threatens Iran's existence, Tel Aviv will be next.
