Iran’s Foreign Minister Speaks on Nuclear Concerns
Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi, said on Wednesday that worries about Iran making nuclear weapons can be solved. He pointed out that Iran does not want weapons of mass destruction. Araqchi’s comments come after U.S. President Donald Trump restarted his aggressive strategy against Iran, which aims to limit Iranian oil exports to stop them from getting nuclear weapons.
Araqchi emphasized that Iran is part of the Non-Proliferation Treaty, meaning it has promised not to develop nuclear weapons. He reminded everyone that Iran’s Supreme Leader has declared that Iran does not support weapons of mass destruction. He also spoke against Trump’s tough tactics, saying they won’t work and will only lead to more issues.
Since Trump pulled the U.S. out of a deal meant to limit Iran’s nuclear activities, Iran has been enriching uranium closer to weapons-grade levels. The head of the U.N. nuclear agency raised concerns about this last December.
Meanwhile, Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson responded to Trump’s recent comment that Iran would be destroyed if it tried to harm him. He called claims of Iran wanting to target U.S. officials false and said Iran is seeking legal justice for the killing of its top general, Qassem Soleimani, by a U.S. strike in 2020.
