Iranian Brigadier Gen. Ebrahim Rostami has come forward to claim that Iran currently has in its arsenal weapons that are “superior” to any of the nuclear bombs currently held by Western power brokers. Rostami made this claim after Iranian lawmakers were called on to review the country’s non-nuclear military doctrine to remove the ban on developing nuclear weapons amid ongoing threats from Israel about a military strike.
Speaking to the media, Rostami, who previously worked as secretary of the Development and Equipment Commission of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), indicated that he supports the review to change portions of Iran’s non-nuclear military doctrine, but that parliamentarians are unaware of “some aspects” of what it currently states because the doctrine contains “highly classified and top-secret information.”
The Iranian military, according to Rostami, has already deployed in the past “weapons that are far superior to nuclear weapons,” including on one occasion in 2019 when Iran attacked oil tankers in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
“When Trump wanted to reduce our oil exports, there were a number of tactical operations,” Rostami claimed in a statement.
“I will not say who carried them out, but five tankers blew up in the highly guarded port of Fujairah. They did not even know where the attack came from. They even filed a complaint with the UN. The UAE accused us, but could not provide evidence. These are some of the examples I can mention.”

With Israel under Benjamin Netanyahu eager to start bombing Iran, Iranian parliamentarians are concerned that Iran is leaving itself vulnerable by limiting its own weapons arsenals at a time when Israel is bulking up its arsenals with everything the subservient West continues to send its way.
Israel has been taking out Hamas and Hezbollah leaders left and right over the past year, killing tens of thousands of innocent civilians in the process, while Iran remains limited in its use of comparable weaponry to defend itself. Does not Iran have the right to defend itself in the same way as Israel?
Israel has a dirty habit of conducting the first strike, which prompts a response from whomever Israel attacked, followed by Israel calling for even more violence as “self-defense.” It is deception at its finest, and something that Israel has refined over many decades as it pulls the wool over the eyes of the world.
After Israel killed the heads of not just Hamas and Hezbollah last month but also an IRGC general, Iran responded with a strike on Israeli military facilities. This prompted Israel Defense Minister Yoav Gallant to threaten a “deadly, pinpoint accurate, and surprising” response, which may include nuclear attacks on Iran’s energy and nuclear infrastructure.
Tehran is warning West Jerusalem to back off or else face further retaliation, including with these better-than-nuclear weapons that Rostami says his country’s government has ready and waiting to launch should Israel continue its provocation.
Another Iranian source reportedly stated that if West Jerusalem proceeds to attack Iran’s oil infrastructure, Iran will respond in kind by attacking Israel’s oil refineries. Whatever Israel does to Iran will also be done to Israel, in other words.
In the comments, someone speculated that the weapon Rostami might be referring to is Fattah 3, which is rumored to be fully-hypersonic, “meaning maneuvering ability during flight to deliver kinetic attacks hitting with powerful EMP effects of nukes, but without the radiation.”
