Islamic tenets ban use of nuclear arms

Tehran's substitute Friday Prayers Leader Ayatollah Mohammad Emami Kashani on Friday stressed that Islamic tenets ban use of any kind of arms being harmful for mankind.

Kashani made his remark in his Friday Prayers sermons which were delivered before thousands of worshipers gathered at Tehran University campus here Friday. According to IRNA, he dubbed as "a big lie" the US claim that Iran is developing nuclear arms.

Regretting that the US leaders have for centuries been indulged in deceiving world people by their lies, Kashani stressed that "Iran is an Islamic state where everything is based on principles of sincerity and truth."

He further noted that the Americans were shameful enough to accuse Iran of seeking nuclear arms and supporting terrorism while they themselves were undertaking numerous crimes worldwide.
