Prof. Foad Izadi (فواد ایزدی Foad Izadi) | Foreign Policy Expert | American Studies at the University of Tehran: A fatwa by Iran's previous leadership prohibits nuclear weapons. The US intelligence community's own 2025 Threat Assessment confirms: Iran has no nuclear weapons, no nuclear weapons program, & Iranian leaders... have not decided to pursue one. Trump dismissed his own intelligence community & sided with Netanyahu's version. Countries with nuclear weapons don't get attacked by the US. North Korea is the clearest example. So the question is growing in Iran - why not build nuclear weapons after being attacked? It's not illegal internationally. It only becomes illegal under the Non Proliferation Treaty - and Article 10 allows members to exit. Public opinion in Iran is increasingly pushing for it. The religious ruling still holds - but this is a live debate, especially after the attacks Iran has suffered.show more

🎥 Will Iran Abandon Nuclear Restraint? For decades, Iran has refrained from developing nuclear weapons—not because it lacked the technical capacity, but because of a deliberate political and religious decision. A fatwa from the Supreme Leader declared nuclear arms forbidden under Islam. But after the U.S. and Israel bombed three Iranian nuclear sites this weekend—sites under regular IAEA inspection—that restraint is now under serious strain. “There are people in Iran asking that question right now,” Dr. Foad Izadi told Drop Site’. The question: What’s the point of cooperation? Izadi noted that two nuclear-armed states just launched an unprovoked attack on a non-nuclear country, without credible evidence of a weapons program. He pointed to the U.S. intelligence community’s own March report, which states: ➤ Iran does not have a nuclear weapon. ➤ Iran does not have a nuclear weapons program. ➤ Iranian leaders have not made a decision to pursue one. Even IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, Izadi said, has consistently affirmed: “We have never found a nuclear weapons program in Iran.” Yet, Iran was bombed anyway. Izadi explained that the IAEA report cited by Western governments referenced materials from 20 to 30 years ago—files Iran believed were closed under the 2015 nuclear deal. Tehran now suspects Mossad may have planted radioactive traces to fabricate suspicion and justify military strikes. “There’s a lot of confusion and disinformation,” he said. But for many Iranians, the conclusion is simple: Iran upheld its obligations—and was attacked regardless. That, Izadi points out, is forcing a national reckoning with the logic of nuclear restraint.

U.S. CONFIRMS IRAN NOT BUILDING NUCLEAR WEAPONS: March 25, 2025 the Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard testified that the IC continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Khamanei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003. The IC is closely monitoring if Tehran decides to reauthorize its nuclear weapons program. Netanyahu is lying and here is the proof.

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 TRUMP FELL FOR NETANYAHU'S PITCH FOR ATTACKING IRAN Professor Foad Izadi talked about how Trump chose to dismiss his own intelligence community’s assessment that Iran has no nuclear weapons program in favor of Netanyahu's narrative. Foad emphasized the failure to predict the closure of the Strait of Hormuz was a symptom of the same, with Iran embarrassing Trump on the military front hours after he suggested they could do nothing to the U.S. Air Force. Professor Izadi stressed that ignoring expert data has led to a much more prolonged and dangerous conflict. "He thought the war would be finished in 3 days. Even the intelligence community told him about the consequences." فواد ایزدی Foad Izadi

Lukashenko on nuclear weapons: If we approach the matter from the standpoint of fairness, does the United States of America possess nuclear weapons? Yes, it does. Okay, the United States is the pioneer of nuclear weapons and has held them for a long time. But Israel remains quiet about the fact that it has nuclear weapons. The Iranians could ask, “Why can’t we have nuclear weapons?” Especially when nearby India and Pakistan are nuclear powers. Why can’t Iran have nuclear weapons? If we want fairness, let us gradually, step by step, eliminate all nuclear weapons in the world. But if nuclear weapons are a deterrent, a guarantee that no one will ever attack you, then Iran has the right, like other nations, to possess nuclear weapons for its own defense.

Former UN weapons inspector, Scott Ritter: "Imagine for a second, though, I'm an Iranian citizen, and I'm looking at Israel. It's not a hypothetical nuclear weapons program. You have you have nuclear weapons. I know it's plausible deniability, but you have nuclear weapons. You’re not in the NPT, you’ve got nukes, you’ve assassinated our leaders for decades. When was the last time Iran attacked Israel with an Iranian asset? Never. until now.”

JUST IN: 🇷🇺🇮🇷 Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov says not just Iran but now many countries will start to develop nuclear weapons: This war that they have now unleashed against Iran, it, firstly, can stimulate movement in favor of creating nuclear weapons, and not only in Iran. Such a movement will immediately appear in the countries—Arab countries that neighbor the Islamic Republic of Iran. Therefore, paradoxically, an announced noble goal to start a war so that there is no proliferation of nuclear weapons can stimulate completely opposite trends."

And so you have nuclear proliferation on a global scale. The biggest threat to security in the world is a lot of people having nuclear weapons.

Tucker Carlson warns Donald Trump may use nuclear weapons: ‘So if you’ve reached the end of your conventional power, what’s that a euphemism for? Nuclear weapons. Life in Iran won’t be possible. You wipe out a country of 92 million people. What about the 7 countries directly across the Persian Gulf who are US allies? Would a nuclear strike be followed by peace? Probably not. The US is not the only country in the world with nuclear weapons. You could have a global nuclear war.’

Iran’s Nuclear Program Is the New WMD Lie. ft. Scott Ritter Trump and the Zionist neocons around him keep blowing up peace talks by alleging that Iran is racing toward a nuclear bomb. The question is simple: are we actually facing an Iranian nuke threat, or are we watching a reboot of the Iraq WMD scam? Former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter reports Iran has never run an active nuclear weapons program, and that the nuclear scare narrative is political, not factual. Israel had previously rolled out dramatic “Iran nuke” files before, including a 2018 forged dossier that was more about manufacturing a pretext for war than revealing any real, ongoing weapons program. Israel itself sits on an undeclared nuclear arsenal, has never signed the Non‑Proliferation Treaty, and still claims the right to decide which countries are “allowed” to have these weapons.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Getting Iran to promise not to build nuclear weapons is being sold as a major diplomatic breakthrough. There’s just one problem. The U.S. intelligence community has publicly assessed that Iran is not pursuing a nuclear weapons program. Tulsi Gabbard released the assessment. So what exactly is being negotiated? Garland Nixon says the real issue is control of the Strait of Hormuz. He argues that the era of controlling distant chokepoints with giant navies is ending, as drones and missiles now allow regional powers to hold those routes at risk. Garland Nixon

Air Force strikes in Iran tonight: 40 fighter jets attacked dozens of military targets with more than 100 munitions The IDF attacked a non-active nuclear reactor in the Arak region of Iran. During the night, 40 Air Force fighter jets, under precise intelligence guidance from the Intelligence Department, attacked dozens of military targets in Tehran and other areas throughout Iran with more than 100 munitions. As part of the wave of attacks and as part of the IDF's extensive operations to damage the Iranian regime's nuclear weapons program, the nuclear reactor in the Arak region of Iran was attacked, including the structure that seals the reactor, which is a main component in plutonium production. Construction of the reactor began in 1997 but was not completed due to the intervention of the international community. The reactor is designed to produce high-yield plutonium, which would enable the acquisition of nuclear weapons. In light of various agreements, in recent years the Iranian regime has promoted the conversion of the reactor to one with a low plutonium production potential, which would not allow the acquisition of nuclear weapons. The regime deliberately ordered that it not complete the conversion, which would have prevented its use as a nuclear weapon, in order to create pressure on the West. The attack was carried out against the component intended for producing plutonium, thus preventing its ability to be reused to produce nuclear weapons.

Steven Bartlett asked: "Why does the US care about Cuba?" Renowned nuclear war expert Annie Jacobsen replied: "Cuba's 90 miles off the coast of Florida... It was where the Soviet Union put nuclear missiles there, almost bringing the United States to the brink of nuclear war during the Kennedy administration." Former CIA covert intelligence officer Andrew Bustamante added: "It's one of the only countries in the Western Hemisphere that does not fall under the United States's sphere of influence." Cuba sits on America's doorstep and has ties to Russia, been accused of supporting terrorism, and operates as an intelligence hub hostile to US interests. With Venezuela and Iran already dealt with, Cuba is the nearest unresolved threat to the US homeland. With no nuclear weapons and no powerful ally willing to protect it, he's already signalled controlling it publicly: "Maybe we'll have a friendly takeover of Cuba." The only name left after that is North Korea, protected by its nuclear weapons.
