Tehran Embassy in London Dismisses Telegraph’s Story on Iran's Nuclear Program
Iran’s Embassy in London dismissed the baseless claim made by the British daily newspaper Telegraph, asserting that Tehran’s nuclear program is entirely peaceful and that atomic weapons have no place in the country's defense doctrine.
The diplomatic mission issued a statement on Sunday following a Telegraph article that claimed Iranian military commanders had privately asked Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei to revoke his fatwa (religious decree) banning the production of nuclear weapons.The embassy described the allegations as “beyond absurdity”, characterizing the report as part of a broader disinformation campaign against Iran.“The Telegraph has turned itself into an apparatus for a malign disinformation campaign against Iran,” the statement read, which was posted on the social media platform X.
“We reject all the claims and accusations it has disseminated on Iran's nuclear programme throughout the past month, including the one published yesterday which is truly beyond absurdity,” it added.Reiterating the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear activities, the embassy noted, “Iran’s nuclear program is absolutely peaceful and is part of Iran's national plan for scientific, technological, and industrial development.”“WMDs (weapons of mass destruction), in particular nuclear weapons, have no place in our defense doctrine and are prohibited under our religious beliefs and national values,” it stressed.The embassy advised the British media to instead focus on the “imminent threat” posed by Israel’s arsenal of nuclear weapons to international peace.“Please stop spreading lies and smokescreening the real and imminent threat to world peace, namely Israel's nuclear arsenal, militancy, and lawless behavior,” it stated. President: Iran Not After Nukes, War
Ayatollah 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.Ayatollah Khamenei’s fatwa was issued in the mid-1990s and publicly announced in 2003. This decree has been a cornerstone of Iran’s official stance on nuclear armament.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.#Iran#Iran_Nuclear_Program
