The Times of Israel reports:

Hezbollah MP Walid Sakariya told Lebanese television this week that the nuclear weapon Iran is allegedly developing is intended to annihilate Israel. . .

“This nuclear weapon is intended to create a balance of terror with Israel, to finish off the Zionist enterprise...,” Sakariya said.

Reached for comment, an Iranian official, speaking on condition of anonymity said: "Well, yeah--but only for peaceful purposes of medical research."
