Dr. Abdul Majid Hakeem Ilahi, the representative of Iran's Supreme Leader in India, stated that Iran firmly rejects the possession of nuclear weapons, calling them 'Haram' or forbidden under Islamic principles. Speaking in Varanasi, he noted that Iran's stance has been unchanged for over 30 years, rooted in a fatwa from the Supreme Leader. His remarks come amid renewed international focus on Iran's nuclear program and ongoing negotiations with the United States. Reports indicate that Iran may agree to surrender its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, which US officials believe could potentially be enough to produce multiple nuclear weapons. President Donald Trump has referred to this enriched uranium as 'nuclear dust' and has emphasized that preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons is a primary objective for Washington. The negotiations are critical, as US officials have warned of possible military strikes should Iran fail to compromise on the uranium issue, even as broader ceasefire discussions continue.
