Tehran: Iran has once again stated that it does not seek to develop nuclear weapons, with an Iranian representative declaring that such weapons are considered “haram,” or forbidden, under Islamic teachings. According to Moneycontrol, the remarks were made while addressing ongoing international concerns regarding Tehran’s nuclear programme.
The Iranian official emphasized that the country’s position on nuclear weapons is rooted in religious principles and longstanding policy. The representative stated that the leadership in Tehran views the development and use of atomic weapons as unacceptable under Islam.
As reported by Moneycontrol, the statement comes at a time when global attention remains focused on Iran’s nuclear activities and diplomatic negotiations involving Western nations. Several countries, including the United States and European powers, have repeatedly raised concerns about the possibility of Iran advancing its nuclear capabilities beyond civilian purposes.
The Iranian representative reiterated that the country’s nuclear programme is intended for peaceful and civilian use, including energy production and scientific research. Tehran has consistently maintained that it has no intention of pursuing nuclear arms despite continued international scrutiny.
The report noted that discussions surrounding Iran’s nuclear programme have remained a major issue in global diplomacy for years. International agencies and governments have frequently monitored the country’s uranium enrichment activities, leading to sanctions and multiple rounds of negotiations.
According to the article, Iranian officials continue to argue that accusations regarding nuclear weapons ambitions are politically motivated. Tehran has also pointed to religious rulings by senior leaders that prohibit the production and use of weapons of mass destruction.
The comments are expected to become part of broader diplomatic conversations involving regional security, sanctions, and future nuclear negotiations between Iran and Western nations.
