Aytollah Shahroudi slams nuclear media hype

aytollah_mehmood_hashmiA senior Iranian cleric has slammed media hype of arrogant powers against nuclear program of the Islamic Republic, saying the move aims to cover up Israeli nukes.

“The propaganda is aimed at putting a cover on violations of countries like Israel which has 100-200 nuclear warheads.

“The Islamic Republic seeks to use nuclear energy merely for  peaceful applications. This is the reason it has signed the NPT (Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty),” he added in a meeting with Singaporean Foreign Minister George Yeo.Aytollah Mehmood Hashmi Shahroudi (member of the Guardian Council)Said.

Shahroudi went on to say that Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Syed Ali Khamenei has announced that Iran views the use of nuclear weapons as “illegal and haraam” — meaning forbidden and prohibited according to Islamic rules.

The cleric said the denial of the arrogant system and Israel’s illegal entity were among important messages of the Islamic Revolution to the world.

“Such issues have led to the West enmity with Iran. Other issues, including nuclear energy are only a pretext,” he added.

He called for the expansion of relations with Singapore in different fields, saying the two sides should make use of bilateral experience.

Israel, widely believed to be the sole possessor of a nuclear arsenal in the Middle East with over 200 undeclared nuclear warheads, pursues the policy of “deliberate ambiguity” on its nuclear program and has rejected global demands to join the NPT or allow inspections of its controversial nuclear program.
