Website of the Office of Grand Ayatullah Saanei :: NUCLEAR ENERGY

NUCLEAR ENERGY

Today, the discussion concerning the use of nuclear technology for peaceful means by human society and governments is an accepted fact; but as I have repeatedly said, whereas the production and maintenance of nuclear weapons will inevitably lead to the destruction of human beings, it is haram (forbidden by religion), and I further believe that even if our enemies should attempt to use nuclear weapons against us, we do not have the right to retaliate in kind since this will only cause further injustice to man and irreparable damage to future generations and all general life forms on earth. Assuming we should come to possess a nuclear bomb one day, our religion will not allow us to make use of it.

If the powerful in a country are liked by the people, their enemies will not be able to defeat them even if they use an atomic bomb. Therefore, the best way to rule a nation is by having a deep rooted relationship with the people based on mutual respect.

I personally believe that the best form of defense is the people’s love of their government; therefore, policies must be drawn in such a way as to make the government popular with the people in which case no power even that of the atomic bomb will be able to cause it to fall.
