Iran’s rejection of nuclear weapons based on religious beliefs, fatwa: Pezeshkian

(February 26, 2026)

President Masoud Pezeshkian has reiterated Iran’s opposition to nuclear weapons, saying the policy is rooted in “theological“ beliefs and a religious decree issued by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei banning nuclear arms.

„When the religious leader explicitly states that we will not pursue nuclear weapons, this is a position rooted in theological and jurisprudential beliefs, not a political tactic that can be changed,” Pezeshkian said while speaking during a visit to the northern province of Mazandaran on Thursday, highlighting the fatwa (religious decree) that had been issued by Ayatollah Khamenei forbidding nuclear arms.

This morning’s attack on Beirut should not have happened, particularly on a special day when we are so close to a Peace Deal with Iran.

Israel has the right to defend itself against threats, but the attack it was responding to was very small and meaningless, nobody was hurt, injured, or killed, and should not disrupt this important process. We are very close to a Deal that will bring peace to the region, including to Lebanon, and all sides should stand down. There should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon, but there should also be no more attacks by any other party, including Hezbollah, against Israel. This could be the beginning of a long and beautiful peace — Let’s not blow it! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Iran says US Deal Possible If Washington ends ‘Authoritarian Mindset’

Iranian sources indicated that Pezeshkian called potential agreement with the United States as “not out of reach,” suggesting that Tehran still sees diplomatic space despite ongoing disputes.

The core of Iran’s position remains unchanged, while it is open to negotiations, it insists that talks must be conducted without pressure, coercion, or what it views as unilateral demands from Washington. Iranian officials have repeatedly framed US policy toward Tehran as coercive, particularly in relation to long-standing disagreements over Iran’s nuclear program and regional influence.

US VP Vance says ‘would be dumb’ for Iran to derail ceasefire ‘over Lebanon’

“We have the Iranians promising to open the Strait of Hormuz, and we have a negotiation that’s supposed to start this weekend.”

“If Iran wants to let this negotiation fall apart in a conflict where they were getting hammered over Lebanon, which has nothing to do with them and which the United States never once said was part of the ceasefire, that’s ultimately their choice. We think that would be dumb. But that’s their choice.”

‘You Are Not Our Enemy’ – Iran’s President Sends Message to Americans – FULL TEXT

I invite you to look beyond the machinery of misinformation—an integral part of this aggression—and instead speak with those who have visited Iran. Observe the many accomplished Iranian immigrants—educated in Iran—who now teach and conduct research at the world’s most prestigious universities, or contribute to the most advanced technology firms in the West. Do these realities align with the distortions you are being told about Iran and its people?

Today, the world stands at crossroads. Continuing along the path of confrontation is more costly and futile than ever before. The choice between confrontation and engagement is both real and consequential; its outcome will shape the future for generations to come. Throughout its millennia of proud history, Iran has outlasted many aggressors. All that remains of them are tarnished names in history, while Iran endures—resilient, dignified, and proud.

Iran’s president to Americans: Look beyond war propaganda fog, reject ‘manufactured threat‘

The president sought to draw a sharp line between governments and their citizens, stating that the Iranian people harbor no ill will towards Americans. “The Iranian people harbor no enmity toward other nations, including the people of America, Europe, or neighboring countries” he wrote, describing this distinction as “a deeply rooted principle in Iranian culture and collective consciousness—not a temporary political stance.”

Building on this theme, Pezeshkian noted that the perception of Iran as a danger is an invention. He said such a view is “the product of political and economic whims of the powerful—the need to manufacture an enemy in order to justify pressure, maintain military dominance, sustain the arms industry, and control strategic markets.”

“In such an environment, if a threat does not exist, it is invented,” he added.

Israel must not be allowed to attack Iran again, ignite new war: President Pezeshkian

“We have no problem with negotiation. But the atrocities Israel has committed in the region and against our country, and its war crimes…have caused a crisis,” he said.

The president said that returning to the negotiating table has a prerequisite, which is based on a confidence-building attitude.

“Israel must not be allowed to attack again right in the middle of talks and ignite a new war,” Pezeshkian stated.

The Israeli regime launched a blatant and unprovoked act of aggression against Iran on June 13, assassinating many high-ranking military commanders and nuclear scientists in addition to civilians.

On June 22, the United States officially joined the war against Iran by launching attacks on three nuclear facilities in the country in violation of the United Nations Charter and the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Unredigiertes, ins Deutsche übersetztes Transkript:

Tucker [00:00:00] Herr Präsident, vielen Dank, dass Sie sich Zeit genommen haben. Es gibt eine Pause oder zumindest scheint es eine Pause im Krieg zwischen den Vereinigten Staaten und dem Iran zu geben. Wie wird das Ihrer Meinung nach enden? Wie würden Sie sich ein Ende wünschen?

Masoud Pezeshkian [00:00:13] Wir waren die Initiatoren des Krieges. Wir haben diesen Krieg nicht begonnen und wir wollen auf keinen Fall, dass er weitergeht. Von Anfang an war es das Motto meiner Regierung, an dem ich mich immer gehalten habe, die nationale Einheit im Land zu fördern und auch den Frieden und die Ruhe sowie die Freundschaft mit den Nachbarländern und dem Rest der Welt zu stärken.

Tucker [00:00:45] Der amerikanische Präsident Donald Trump hat gesagt, dass die Vereinigten Staaten Ihre Anreicherungsanlagen bombardiert haben, weil die iranische Regierung sich geweigert hat, ihr Atomprogramm aufzugeben, und dass es keinen Frieden geben kann, solange der Iran dieses Atomprogramm nicht aufgibt. Wären Sie bereit, das Atomprogramm im Austausch für Frieden aufzugeben?

Masoud Pezeshkian [00:01:08] Ich möchte Ihnen erzählen, was passiert ist: Seit 1984 hat Netanjahu diese falsche Mentalität geschaffen, dass der Iran eine Atombombe anstrebt, und er hat unterstellt, dass der Iran in der Vergangenheit versucht hat, eine Atombombe zu entwickeln, und er hat dies in den Köpfen aller US-Präsidenten seitdem verankert und sie davon überzeugt, dass wir eine Atombombe haben wollen. Aber die Wahrheit ist, dass… in die Köpfe aller US-Präsidenten seitdem, um sie glauben zu machen, dass wir eine Atombombe haben wollen. Aber die Wahrheit ist, dass… Wir haben nie nach einer Atombombe gestrebt, weder in der Vergangenheit, noch in der Gegenwart oder in der Zukunft, weil dies falsch ist und im Widerspruch zu dem religiösen Dekret oder der Fatwa steht, die von seiner Eminenz, dem Obersten Führer der Islamischen Republik Iran, erlassen wurde. Es ist uns also religiös verboten, eine Atombombe anzustreben, und dies wurde dank unserer Zusammenarbeit mit der IAEO immer bestätigt, da sie immer vor Ort war, um dies zu überprüfen. Und um zu belegen, dass wir nie eine Atombombe wollten. Leider wurde diese Zusammenarbeit durch die rechtswidrigen Angriffe auf unsere Atomanlagen gestört.
