DM: Iran’s Missile Capabilities No Subject for Nuclear Talks
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan underlined that the country’s defense capabilities, including its ballistic missiles, have and will never be included in the nuclear negotiations with the world powers.
“Our missile capabilities are related to us and we do not accept the interference and meddling of others,” Brigadier General Dehqan told FNA on Wednesday.
He pointed to the allegations made by the western countries that Iran might gain access to nuclear warheads for ballistic missiles, and said, “We have repeatedly declared that we are not in pursuit of the nuclear weapons as according to the Supreme Leader’s fatwa, pursuit and possession of the nuclear weapons is religiously banned and these WMDs, thus, have no room in the Islamic Republic of Iran’s defense doctrine…”
He underlined that Iran’s defensive weapons have never been subject to talks and negotiations.
“Iran’s missile power is just related to us and we are responsible for it and we do not accept the intereference of anyone,” the Defense Minister reiterated.
Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei has on many occasions said the Islamic Republic considers the pursuit and possession of nuclear weapons “a grave sin” from every logical, religious and theoretical standpoint.
On April 17, 2010 Ayatollah Khamenei issued a fatwa declaring that the production, stockpiling, and use of nuclear weapons are all haram (religiously prohibited).
“Iran is not after a nuclear bomb. Why would Iran want a nuclear bomb? Moreover, when an atomic bomb is detonated, it does not just kill enemies. Rather, it kills innocent people as well, and this goes against Islamic beliefs and the principles of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
An atomic bomb does not discriminate between good and bad people, and it is not something that the Islamic Republic would use. The Islamic Republic is relying on something that is not affected by bombs, foreign invasions and other such things. Such things only strengthen what the Islamic republic is relying on. The Islamic republic is relying on the people,” a part of the fatwa said.
Analysts believe that the fatwa of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution can well serve as a beacon of light for Washington in order to find its way out of darkness and ignorance.
