Decisive opposition of the leader of the dead to nuclear weapons In the days when a number of figures and official tribunes in the country talk about the necessity to change Iran's nuclear doctrine and even move towards the development of nuclear weapons, it is especially important to read the positions of the martyred leader on this issue. According to Insaf News, Ayatollah Khamenei not only opposed the production and use of nuclear weapons in a large number of speeches delivered in different years, but also considered this opposition based on religious principles, Islamic rulings, and even rational calculations and national interests. In a meeting with those involved in the construction of the Jamaran destroyer on February 19, 2010, the martyred leader said, referring to the Koranic basis of this position: "According to our faith, our religious foundations, the use of such means for mass killing is absolutely forbidden, it is haram; it is a waste of labor and this generation is not forbidden in the Koran." In a meeting with the commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards on September 17, 1392, he emphasized: "We do not accept nuclear weapons not because of Zaid and Omar, not because of America or non-Americans, because of our faith; "No one should have done this. He further clarified that when the Islamic Republic requests that it activate nuclear weapons, others should also not activate this nuclear position. This objection was not limited to judicial considerations. In a meeting with Ahl al-Bayt clerics on April 9, 2016, the leader of the dead saw nuclear weapons as not only unnecessary for Iran, but also a source of trouble and said: "This is also our religious fatwa and this is our intellectual fatwa." He also described keeping these weapons as an expensive, dangerous and useless operation for a country like Iran. One of his distinct positions on this issue was expressed in a meeting with the residents of East Azerbaijan on February 17, 2011; There he said: "We believe that nuclear weapons are a crime against humanity and must not be produced; everything that exists in the world must disappear and disappear; this is our opinion." In a meeting with military commanders and staff on April 19, 2015, he presented the armed forces' adherence to Islamic law as a basis for avoiding the use of nuclear weapons.
