FM: Iran Never Seeks Nukes
Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araqchi reiterated that Tehran has no intention of acquiring nuclear weapons, emphasizing that the country’s nuclear program is peaceful and does not pose a threat to any party.
“We have no desire to obtain nuclear weapons, as this matter is rooted in our beliefs,” Araqchi said in an interview with Al-Nile News Network.“It goes back to the fatwa of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah [Seyed Ali] Khamenei, who declared possessing such weapons as haram (forbidden). And since we are a religious nation, deviating from this fatwa is impossible for us,” he added.
Iran and the US have held five rounds of diplomatic process with Omani mediation in order to settle a decades-long nuclear dispute.Senior American officials such as President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and special envoy Steve Witkoff have insisted on “zero-level” enrichment on the part of Tehran.But Iranian officials stressed that any nuclear accord must include the continuation of Tehran’s uranium enrichment activities and an end to sanctions imposed by Washington.
Araqchi noted that Tehran continues to engage in dialogue and nuclear negotiations and pursue diplomacy to demonstrate the peaceful nature of its nuclear program.“If there are questions or concerns, we are ready to address them through confidence-building,” he stressed.The top diplomat stressed that this will nullify "one of the most significant claims made by the Zionist regime".“We are fully aware that the Zionist regime possesses dozens of nuclear warheads, yet it accuses Iran of seeking nuclear arms. But our position is clear: our nuclear program is peaceful and poses no threat to any party or country.”
