Iran Reaffirms Stance Against Nuclear Weapons

Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, stated that the country's position against developing nuclear weapons remains unchanged, reiterating the previous fatwa issued by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei prohibiting the creation of weapons of mass destruction. However, he noted that the new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has not yet publicly expressed his opinion on the matter. The statement comes amid heightened tensions in the region, against the backdrop of the war between the US and Israel with Iran. Iran's position remains consistent despite changes in leadership and geopolitical developments.
