President: Iran Not After Nukes, War
President Masoud Pezeshkian once again stressed that Iran has no intention whatsoever of acquiring nuclear weapons, reiterated Tehran’s opposition to wars and tensions.
Addressed dozens of foreign ambassadors and envoys in Tehran on Thursday, President Pezeshkian emphasized that Iran is not pursuing nuclear weapons and war, and that baseless claims to the contrary are primarily made by Israel, which has committed onslaught against regional countries.“We are not pursuing nuclear weapons. Our dear Leader of the Islamic Revolution [Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei] has issued fatwa against it," he said."Even those who think they can push this country toward nuclear weapons cannot do so because the doctrine of the Islamic Republic of Iran does not, under any circumstances, accept the mass killing of innocent people,” the president added.
Iran has declared that its nuclear program remains purely peaceful as always and that Tehran has no intention of developing nuclear weapons as a matter of an Islamic and state principle and has no hidden nuclear program.Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei has issued an official fatwa (religious decree) clearly establishing that any form of acquisition, development, and use of nuclear weapons violate Islamic principles and are therefore forbidden.Tehran has proved the peaceful nature of its nuclear program to the world by signing the 2015 nuclear deal. However, Washington’s exit in May 2018 and its subsequent re-imposition of sanctions against Tehran left the future of the agreement in limbo. Iran started to reduce its commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in a series of pre-announced and clear steps after witnessing the other parties' failure to secure its interests under the accord.
Pezeshkian said verifying the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program is not difficult."Whenever inspectors (from the International Atomic Energy Agency) have wanted, they have come and inspected. They can come and inspect a hundred more times. When we have no such intention, they should not keep saying every day that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons,” he continued.Such unfounded claims against Iran, Pezeshkian added, come from the occupying regime of Israel, an entity that “has violated the sovereignty of all nations in the region—yet human rights advocates claim it is merely defending itself".
“Who displaced the people of Gaza from their homes and turned them into refugees? A displaced person has to defend themselves. Any free human being, when deprived of their rights, will inevitably stand up. The world will only see peace when those who claim to uphold human rights respect them regardless of ethnicity, race, or religion,” he noted.Addressing the ambassadors of Islamic countries, Pezeshkian stressed that “Iran seeks sincere relations for the mutual exchange of experiences".
