Renewed Iran-West Nuclear Talks Part II
Tehran Attempts to Deceive U.S. President Obama, Secy of State Clinton With Nonexistent Anti-Nuclear Weapons Fatwa By Supreme Leader Khamenei An important element in the renewal of nuclear negotiations with Iran in the talks in Istanbul April 13-14, 2012 was an alleged fatwa attributed to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, according to which the production, stockpiling, and use of nuclear weapons are forbidden under Islam and that the Islamic Republic of Iran shall never acquire these weapons. Indeed, U.S. leaders among them Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and even U.S. President Barack Obama along with 5+1 representatives to the talks, the International Atomic Energy Agency Board of Governors, and even highly respected research institutes considered the fatwa as an actual fact, and examined its significance and implications for the nuclear negotiations with Iran that began in Istanbul. However, an investigation by MEMRI reveals that no such fatwa ever existed or was ever published, and that media reports about it are nothing more than a propaganda ruse on the part of the Iranian regime apparatuses in an attempt to deceive top U.S. administration officials and the others mentioned above.
