Tehran's nuclear mystery: Is building an atomic bomb a public demand?
Reporting by Omid Bryan
In the midst of discussions about changing the nuclear doctrine, experts and citizens believe that this policy was conducted in a lack of transparency and only imposed devastating economic and human rights costs on society.
After the end of the 40-day war and in the middle of one of the most sensitive political transition periods, the discussion of amending the nuclear doctrine was raised in Iran's official forums. With the killing of Ali Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Republic, the fate of his fatwa on the "sanctity of nuclear weapons production" is unclear.
While Mujtaba Khamenei, the new leader of the Islamic Republic, has not yet taken a clear position, the extremist spectrum and hard-core supporters of the regime have launched a massive campaign to move towards building an atomic bomb.
