TEHRAN – Administration spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani says Iran will never pursue nuclear weapons based on cultural, religious, and ethical principles.
During her weekly press conference on Tuesday, Mohajerani highlighted the recent remarks made by Rafael Grossi, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), regarding Iran’s nuclear activities, saying “Grossi emphasized that Iran has never had, and does not have, a military nuclear program.”
She added, “There are three fundamental reasons why we will never pursue the development of a nuclear bomb. First, our cultural and historical foundation is incompatible with such a course of action. Second, our religious beliefs, which are grounded in an explicit fatwa (religious decree) that declares the production and use of nuclear weapons to be Haram (religiously forbidden). Third, the ethical foundation of the Iranian nation is rooted in principles of humanity and ethical conduct.”
The Islamic Republic’s cooperation with the IAEA is carried out under the guidance of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), ensuring that all actions align with the nation’s interests, Mohajerani said.
She emphasized that there are total consensus and coordination between the administration and Parliament in this regard.
