No advantage in developing nuclear weapons, says Iran

Iran sees no benefit in developing nuclear weapons: Zarif

antinuke-worldSmflag-IranTehran Times 13 july 14,  TEHRAN – In an exclusive interview with NBC News, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said that Iran sees no benefit in developing nuclear weapons.

 David Gregory’s extended conversation with Zarif was scheduled to air on Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
Zarif said, “Iran is not seeking nuclear weapons” because he believes “nuclear weapons reduce countries’ influence in our region.”
Following is a transcript of the interview: ……….
……. I do not believe that you need to inculcate this mentality that nuclear weapons make anybody safe. Have they made Pakistan safe? Have they made Israel safe? Have they made the United States safe? Have they made Russia safe? All these countries are susceptible. Now you have proof that nuclear weapons or no amount of military power makes you safe. So we need to live in a different paradigm. And that’s what we are calling for.http://www.tehrantimes.com/politics/117007-iran-sees-no-benefit-in-developing-nuclear-weapons-zarif-
