Speaking on Tuesday, Ebrahim Rezaei, spokesperson for Iran’s Parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, said lawmakers are prepared to consider stronger nuclear measures if Iran is threatened again.

“One of Iran’s options in the event of another attack could be 90 percent enrichment. We will review it in parliament,” Rezaei said.

His remarks signal a possible hardening of Iran’s nuclear stance at a time when tensions in the Middle East remain high.

Uranium enriched to 90 percent purity is considered close to weapons-grade level, a development that would likely trigger global concern and intensify pressure from Western nations.

Iran has long insisted that its nuclear programme is meant for peaceful purposes, including energy production and medical research. However, Western countries and international watchdogs have repeatedly raised concerns about Tehran’s growing enrichment activities.

Political analysts say Rezaei’s statement appears aimed at sending a strong warning to Iran’s rivals, especially amid fears of further military escalation in the region. The comments could also complicate already fragile diplomatic efforts surrounding Iran’s nuclear programme.

The issue is expected to be debated further in parliament as Iranian leaders weigh possible responses to future security threats.

Observers warn that any move toward 90 percent enrichment could deepen the standoff between Iran and the West and increase instability across the Middle East.
