Here's the Politico article that this article from The Independent cites and takes the most sensational part of for its headline.
The nuclear threat that Balkhy talks about is mainly potential fallout from strikes on nuclear sites. She also mentions a nuclear weapon because both aggressors have them, but you can tell she's plainly focused on the former.
Both aggressors . U.S and Israel both have nukes. Iran does not.
But China does.
