According to him, no one knows where Iran's enriched uranium is located, and he warned that Iran does not need to develop sophisticated nuclear weapons because it could also build a much simpler bomb, similar to the one dropped on Hiroshima.

He added that, in his opinion, the attack on Iran may have had the opposite effect from what was intended.

"The attack on Iran accelerated the development of Iranian nuclear weapons in order to prevent future American-Israeli bombings," Tadić said.

Speaking about possible consequences, Tadić said there are two opposing schools of thought.

He also warned that the potential development of an Iranian nuclear arsenal could trigger an arms race in the region, with other countries such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Turkey potentially pursuing their own nuclear programs.

Discussing the role of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Tadić explained that the organization can only conduct inspections in countries that are signatories to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

As an example, he cited Israel, which is not a signatory to the treaty, meaning international inspectors do not have the authority to oversee its nuclear program.

"If Saudi Arabia suddenly wants to develop nuclear energy and pursue its own uranium enrichment, it means that Iran is closer to a nuclear arsenal than it has ever been," he emphasized.

"When the war began, I said there were two possible outcomes — either it would end with peace or with an Iranian nuclear test. Unfortunately, I fear that today we are closer to the latter," Tadić concluded.
