The Iranian Regime Lied about a Fatwa Banning Nuclear Weapons
(MEMRI) Yigal Carmon and A. Savyon - Israel's exposure of Iran's military nuclear program reveals that all the Iranian regime officials who claimed that Islam bans the development, manufacture and use of nuclear weapons lied in this matter. All the statements about a fatwa that bans this are a lie. Iranian regime officials have never hesitated to lie about matters that pertain to the tenets of the Islamic faith in order to promote Iran's military program unhindered. For the Islamic Revolution regime, the goal of obtaining nuclear weapons supersedes any religious value, and therefore any Western attitude which regards the Iranian regime as motivated by religious values is misguided. Y. Carmon is the president and founder of MEMRI; A. Savyon is director of MEMRI's Iran media project.
