An Iranian political analyst and Tehran University lecturer, Hamza Rahim Safavi, has stated that Iran possesses the capability to render Israel uninhabitable by employing conventional and unconventional weapons. Speaking on Iranian state television, Safavi, who is the son of former IRGC commander Yahya Rahim Safavi, suggested that Iran could utilize chemical weapons and a "dirty bomb" against Israel. He asserted that Iran could deploy its full spectrum of available conventional and unconventional means. Safavi also cast doubt on the publicly known figure of 400 kg of enriched uranium in Iran's possession, implying that actual reserves might be significantly higher. This is not the first time Safavi has made such claims; in August, he alluded to the potential use of a "dirty bomb" if the Islamic Republic's existence was threatened, and reiterated his belief that uranium stockpiles could exceed official figures. A "dirty bomb" is defined by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission as a conventional explosive device combined with radioactive materials, which disperses these materials upon detonation without causing a nuclear reaction. Previously, an Iranian MP, Kamran Aznafri, claimed that Iran already possesses nuclear weapons and could use them against Israel and the United States in a future conflict. For decades, Iran's nuclear program, missile arsenal, and regional proxy support have drawn international attention, while U.S. intelligence has also monitored other potential threats emanating from Tehran.
