Iran took a big U-turn on nuclear bomb? After all, why was ‘nuclear weapons’ said to be against its own policy?

News India Live, Digital Desk: Whenever any powerful country is discussed around the world, the talk often focuses on their military power and nuclear weapons. The name of Iran has also been a part of this debate for years. Western countries always suspected that Iran was secretly preparing its own nuclear bomb. But recently a statement has come from Iran, which has given a new turn to this entire debate.

A special representative of the Supreme Leader of Iran has clearly said that his country never wanted to make nuclear weapons and nor does it have any future plans. The reason for this is not fear, but their religion.

Nuclear weapons are ‘haram’: what is the logic behind it?
Iran has said that there is no place in their religion for weapons that cause massive harm to humans. It is considered ‘Haram’ (ie against religion). This is not the first time that this has been said, before this, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei himself had issued a ‘fatwa’ saying that Islam does not permit the possession or use of nuclear weapons.

The representative says that if Iran had wanted, it could have become a nuclear-armed country much earlier because they have the technology and understanding, but they deliberately kept their steps backward.

Just religious reasons or a game of diplomacy?
Experts around the world are looking at this statement from different perspectives. On one hand, Iran is calling it its ‘moral victory’ and religious restriction, while on the other hand, some diplomats are seeing it as a ‘shield’. In fact, this nuclear suspicion has been the main reason for the economic sanctions imposed on Iran for years. In such a situation, by using ‘religious stance’, Iran probably wants to assure the world that the allegations and restrictions imposed on it are baseless.

A great challenge and a path to peace
This claim of Iran has come at a time when tension in the Middle East is at its peak. Countries like Israel and America are still suspicious of Iran’s intentions. But this new statement from Iran has at least laid a table for discussion. Will the world believe this ‘religious argument’ of Iran? Or will this sword of doubt remain hanging like this?

Whatever may be the truth, one thing is clear that now the discussion on the issue of nuclear weapons is not limited to just labs and uranium, but now the chapter of religion and morality has also been added to it.
