Iran Press/ Middle East: The Zionist regime is making a new push to block the JCPOA from being restored, the AFP has reported, citing Prime Minister Yair Lapid and its own anonymous sources.
Tel Aviv claims that the 2015 deal, to which Iran wants to adhere after the US returns to the agreement, would allow Tehran to arm its "proxies" and allegedly develop nuclear weapons.
Israel insists that the deal must either be scrapped or modified to severely increase monitoring and impose limits on the Iranian ballistic missile program – something that Tehran has been flatly rejecting.
The Islamic Republic of Iran, a progressive country among the developing countries, due to different reasons such as the need for energy development plans, is acquiring advanced technology, creating diversity for supplying safe energy, production of clean energy, environmental consideration, and economic-technical advantages, has considered the development of nuclear power plant and developing the application of peaceful nuclear technology as a necessity and requirement for the long term energy provision programs.
The country’s legal requirements (laws passed) have also required the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran to deploy the operation of nuclear power plants for realizing the long-term objective of producing 20000 Megawatt of electricity in the years to come.
On the other hand, Israel has reportedly expanded Dimona's top-secret nuclear complex.

The UK’s Guardian newspaper reported the development on February 2021, saying the construction work is visible in satellite imagery published by an independent expert group.
To this day, Israel has never acknowledged that it has a nuclear arsenal, instead maintaining a policy of “nuclear ambiguity”.
The Zionist regime is widely believed to possess nuclear weapons. Estimates of Israel's stockpile range between 80 and 400 nuclear warheads.
