Vice President Aref asserts Iran’s independence in nuclear policy and rejects foreign influence. Highlighting the importance of regional unity against Iranophobia, he underscores that Iran’s technological endeavors are aimed at benefiting humanity, with the strategic blessing from Ayatollah Khamenei.
During a recent ceremony at the Iranology Foundation, Vice President Aref addressed the misconceptions surrounding Iran’s nuclear policy, emphasizing that Iran is neither influenced nor controlled by external parties. He articulated the need for unity among ECO member states and Islamic nations to counter the narrative of ‘Iranophobia’ promoted by Western countries, which has adversely affected some Arab nations. Aref asserted, “Unfortunately, some Arab countries have been influenced by the ugly term ‘Iranophobia,’ and we can see its impact on them.”
Aref also responded to concerns regarding Iran’s nuclear intentions, asserting that the country’s cultural values prioritize the pursuit of knowledge and humanity’s well-being over militarization. He remarked, “We believe that if one innocent person is unjustly killed, it is as though all of humanity has been killed. Can such a culture pursue nuclear weapons?” He further mentioned that Iran’s objective is to harness advanced technologies for the greater good.
Moreover, Aref underlined the independence of Iran’s nuclear policy, clearly stating, “We do not consult with anyone or take instructions on this matter; whatever we achieve will also be shared with others.” He reaffirmed that Iran’s strategy has the full endorsement of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, who has issued a guiding fatwa on this critical issue.
In summary, Vice President Aref emphasized Iran’s commitment to an independent nuclear policy, dismissing external influences while highlighting the need for regional unity against ‘Iranophobia.’ He reassured that Iran’s pursuits are aligned with cultural values and aimed at promoting humanity’s welfare through technology. The support from Ayatollah Khamenei further solidifies Iran’s strategic framework in this regard.
