Iran’s adversaries are more concerned about the ideological and civilizational impact of the Islamic Revolution than its nuclear capabilities, top Iranian cleric and former politician Mostafa Pourmohammadi said on Sunday.
“There are more than 10,000 nuclear warheads in the world that could destroy the Earth,” he said in an interview with the semi-official ISNA news agency. “But they accuse us of wanting to build a nuclear bomb and make a fuss about it. Is America’s real concern that we might get close to an atomic bomb?”
The former presidential candidate and head of Islamic Revolution Document Center said the “deeper concern of Iran’s enemies is the erosion of ideological foundations within their own societies.”
Pourmohammadi also warned against abandoning negotiations entirely. “Tying everything to negotiations is a mistake, but that mistake should not become an excuse to withdraw from the principle of negotiations,” he said.
