Pezeshkian Declares: Nuclear Weapons Are Not Part of Islamic Republic’s Doctrine

In a recent statement, Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian emphasized that Iran does not seek war or nuclear weapons, reinforcing the Islamic Republic’s commitment to peace and the protection of innocent lives. His remarks came during a gathering of foreign envoys in Tehran, marking the 46th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.

“War is not in our benefit; we are not seeking nuclear weapons. This is the fatwa of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution,” Pezeshkian stated, referring to a religious decree from Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei that prohibits the use of nuclear arms and weapons of mass destruction.

During his address, President Pezeshkian highlighted several key points:

  • The doctrine of the Islamic Republic categorically rejects the slaughter of innocent individuals.
  • Claims made by certain factions within Iran will not compel the country to pursue nuclear capabilities.
  • The Israeli regime has continuously engaged in aggressive actions against regional nations while criticizing Iran’s nuclear activities.
  • The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has conducted inspections of Iran’s nuclear facilities and will continue to do so without issues, as Iran has no intentions of developing nuclear weapons.

Pezeshkian also criticized Western media for their portrayal of Iran as a source of regional tension, while neglecting the humanitarian crises resulting from Israeli actions in Gaza. He stated, “Unfair media around the world continue to label Iran every day as a source of tension in the region. They talk about human rights, but almost 14,000 children were killed in Gaza, women got killed and hospitals were destroyed before the eyes of people across the world.”

The president asserted that achieving global peace requires respect for human rights, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, or beliefs. He concluded, “Tranquility will be attained through justice and fairness, equality, brotherhood and friendship, not war and bloodshed,” reaffirming Iran’s desire to maintain friendly relations with other nations.
