AhlulBayt News Agency: Iran has criticized the international community for its double standards regarding nuclear weapons, calling it "unacceptable" that Western powers express concerns over Iran’s peaceful nuclear energy program while ignoring Israel’s nuclear arsenal.
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi made these remarks during the Fourth Round of Iranian-Arab Dialogues conference in Doha, Qatar, on Saturday. He emphasized that Iran’s nuclear activities are peaceful and legitimate, in contrast to Israel’s possession of nuclear weapons.
Araghchi reaffirmed that Iran does not seek nuclear weapons, stating that weapons of mass destruction have no place in the country’s security doctrine. He highlighted Iran’s role as one of the initiators of a nuclear-weapon-free zone in Asia and urged Western nations to abandon their double standards on nuclear proliferation.
"Iran is committed to the international non-proliferation regime," Araghchi stated, condemning Western nations for raising unwarranted concerns about Iran’s nuclear program while ignoring Israel’s nuclear capabilities.
For decades, the United States and its allies have used allegations of Iran’s pursuit of non-conventional arms to justify sanctions and anti-Iranian policies. However, Iran’s leadership has consistently rejected such claims based on moral and religious principles.
Iran’s refusal to pursue, develop, or stockpile nuclear weapons has been repeatedly verified by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), making it one of the most scrutinized members of the UN nuclear watchdog.
