The peaceful use of nuclear energy is not the only
inalienable right we claim. In a region marked by persistent military tensions
and security instability—where the Israeli regime, with its nuclear arsenal,
stands as the main source of aggression and unrest—developing deterrent
capabilities is a matter of national sovereignty and strategic survival.
As long as this regime—accused of war crimes and
backed by powerful extra-regional actors—continues to undermine the foundations
of peace, stability, and sustainable development in the region, the pursuit of
credible deterrence mechanisms becomes a security imperative and geopolitical
necessity.
In the absence of a comprehensive regional disarmament
agreement, any unilateral renunciation of this effective deterrent option would
be a grave strategic error.
Without adequate and optimized defensive and deterrent
capabilities, Iran risks being reduced to a defenceless target, fragmented and
exploited by regional and global rivals.
The "American Goat" and the "Persian Garden"!
The United States and Trump must give up the fantasy that their inspectors could interfere with or make decisions about our peaceful nuclear program on Iranian soil.
We will most certainly not yield even a single inch of our sovereign rights.
Just as Ayatollah Khomeini once stood up against the disgraceful Capitulation Law — which granted special privileges to American soldiers in our country — so too today, the "Iranian forest" is certainly not empty of lions!
We will never allow the American "goat" to become the gardener of the Persian garden.
