Iranian lawmaker Hosseinali Haji Deligani said on Saturday that building a nuclear bomb had become a public demand, arguing that Tehran should possess nuclear weapons regardless of whether it intends to use them.

"Today, one of the people's demands is that Iran, in addition to its faith and missiles, must build and possess a nuclear bomb," Haji Deligani said, according to Didban Iran.

"We must have this capability. Whether it is used or not is a separate matter," he added.
