Leader told Iran will never seek atom bomb

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei told Friday that the country neither believes in atomic bombs nor is it looking for to develop such weapons. The Leader said the continuation of allegations by the West that the country is pursuing armed forces objectives in its civilian nuclear program signals that the propaganda operation against Iran has failed.

Iran has announced many times, he said, that its basics and religious principles consider weapons of mass destruction as "illegal and haraam" — meaning forbidden & barred according to Islamic rules. The West accuses Iran, a participant to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), of seeking a nuclear weapon. Tehran, still, rejects the allegation and says its program is aimed at the civilian applications of the technology.

Iran in no way believes in an atomic bomb, and it does not seek one, Ayatollah Khamenei told. The Leader made the comments during the inauguration ceremony of Iran's 1st domestically-built destroyer.
