Iranian minister: Islam opposes nukes
The development or use of nuclear weapons contradicts Iran's religious principles and would violate the tenets of Islam, the country's Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi says.
"Islamic Republic authorities have reiterated that nuclear arms are against the country's religious principals," Salehi said in an interview with the Euronews channel in Germany said. "We have been committed to the NPT and believe that the proliferation of a nuclear bomb is against the tenets of Islam." (Ynet)
