US Senator Claims Iran Almost Made Six Nuclear Bombs

JAKARTA - Republican Senator Lindsey Graham claims Iran has enough weapons-grade uranium to make six nuclear bombs.

"They had enough uranium enriched to make six bombs," he told Fox News in an interview.

"They will use it. Iran is very close to assembling six nuclear bombs. They will kill Israel. They will catch us," he continued.

However, Graham did not provide any evidence to support his claims, and did not disclose the source.

On March 7, 2025, US President Donald Trump said he had sent a message to Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who proposed negotiations on the nuclear program.

On Monday, Tehran and Washington were known to have agreed to hold the first round of negotiations at Oman on April 12.

In his post on social media X Wednesday, Graham wrote any diplomatic solutions related to Iran's nuclear program having to admit Iranian fraud for decades, the barbaric nature of the regime, and its open commitment to destroying the Israeli state.

Earlier, US Central Command (CENTCOM) Commander Michael Kurila said on March 7, Tehran had not yet made a decision to make nuclear weapons.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told NBC News in mid-January Tehran was not pursuing the goal of obtaining an atomic bomb.
