Iran Says Religious Decree Bans Nuclear Weapons
Iran says a religious decree, or fatwa, forbids the development and use of nuclear weapons, reiterating a long-standing position by Iranian officials that such arms are banned under Islamic law. The claim comes amid ongoing international debate over Iran's nuclear programme. Critics have repeatedly questioned whether the decree is binding or verifiable, while Iran's government points to it as proof that its nuclear activities remain peaceful.
Why now: Renewed attention to Iran's nuclear programme and stalled diplomatic efforts keeps Tehran's fatwa against nuclear weapons in the news.
