“We’re not pursuing nuclear weapons. Our expensive Chief of the Islamic Revolution [Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei] has issued fatwa in opposition to it,” he informed overseas ambassadors and envoys in Tehran on Thursday.
“Even those that assume they will push this nation towards nuclear weapons can not accomplish that as a result of the doctrine of the Islamic Republic of Iran doesn’t, below any circumstances, settle for the mass killing of harmless individuals,” Pezeshkian added.
Iran’s nuclear doctrine is predicated on Ayatollah Khamenei’s fatwa categorically banning the manufacturing, possession and stockpiling of nuclear weapons and different weapons of mass destruction.
Pezeshkian mentioned verifying the peaceable nature of Iran’s nuclear program is just not troublesome.
“Every time inspectors (from the Worldwide Atomic Power Company) have wished, they’ve come and inspected. They’ll come and examine 100 extra occasions. When we now have no such intention, they need to not maintain saying day-after-day that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons.”
Such baseless claims in opposition to Iran, Pezeshkian said, come from the occupying regime of Israel, an entity that “has violated the sovereignty of all nations within the area—but human rights advocates declare it’s merely defending itself.”
“Who displaced the individuals of Gaza from their properties and turned them into refugees? A displaced individual has to to defend themselves. Any free human being, when disadvantaged of their rights, will inevitably get up. The world will solely see peace when those that declare to uphold human rights respect them no matter ethnicity, race, or faith.”
Addressing the ambassadors of Islamic international locations, Pezeshkian harassed that “Iran seeks honest relations for the mutual alternate of experiences.”
In 2015, Iran proved the peaceable nature of its nuclear program to the world by signing the Joint Complete Plan of Motion (JCPOA) with six world powers.
Nonetheless, Washington’s unilateral withdrawal in 2018 and its subsequent re-imposition of sanctions in opposition to Tehran left the way forward for the deal in limbo.
In 2019, Iran began to roll again the bounds it had accepted below the JCPOA after the opposite events didn’t reside as much as their commitments.
