LAW’s NUCLEAR WORLD NEWS TODAY and the GLOBAL RISKS & CONSEQUENCES TOMORROW
In My Opinion
“Why are you interfering in whether Iran should have enrichment or not? You cannot have a say.”, Iran’s leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said, directing his question and statement directly at Trump’s on-again-off-again-on again contradictory demand(s).
I suppose this response from Khamenei will end the talks for a USA/Iran agreement on nuclear power operations and facilities in Iran. Let’s hope it doesn’t start a war involving the USA/Israel, and Iran, because even though that is bad enough as it would no doubt be, it could also easily explode into a nuclear war involving other nations who possess nuclear weapons of mass destruction as well as nuclear power plants.
We must keep in mind that even though Iran apparently has no nuclear weapons, the USA/Israel attitude is that they “may soon” have a nuclear bomb, but also because Trump and Netanyahu are threatening to destroy Iran’s nuclear power plants and facilities, which would be tantamount to a war involving nuclear energy — not too different in concept as Russia’s inhumane attacks on Ukraine’s nuclear facilities.
So we must learn to keep in mind that, all things considered, nuclear power plants are like stationary nuclear bombs, and the fact that nations internationally are blindly and irresponsibly moving into a nuclear energy world, we are making a huge mistake. If we would just open our eyes to reality, we would ban not just nuclear bombs but also nuclear power of any kind.
There is no such thing as a “safe” nuclear power plant just as there is no responsible way to build and threaten the world with nuclear weapons of mass destruction. One is absolutely as dangerous as the other because they are identical “twins”. ~llaw
Iran’s Khamenei slams US nuclear proposal, vows to keep enriching uranium
Iranian supreme leader says issue of uranium enrichment remains key to Tehran’s pursuit of energy independence.
Published On 4 Jun 20254 Jun 2025
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has pledged that Tehran will not abandon its uranium enrichment, rejecting a key demand in a United States proposal aimed at resolving a long-running dispute over Iran’s nuclear programme.
The comments were delivered in a speech on Wednesday as the US and Iran continue to negotiate the details of a possible new nuclear deal. The issue of uranium enrichment has remained a sticking point in the talks, with the US reportedly demanding a complete halt or low-level enrichment in exchange for the lifting of Western sanctions against Tehran.
“The US nuclear proposal contradicts our nation’s belief in self-reliance and the principle of ‘We Can,’” Khamenei said in his speech delivered on the commemoration of the death of the Islamic Republic’s founder, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, in 1989.
Khamenei said the issue of uranium enrichment remained key to Iran’s pursuit of energy independence.
“Independence means not waiting for the green light from America and the likes of America,” he said, adding that the US proposal was “100 percent against” the ideals of the 1979 Islamic revolution.
He said Tehran would not seek Washington’s approval for its decisions.
“Some people think that rationality means bowing down to America and surrendering to the oppressive power; this is not rationality,” Khamenei said.
“Why are you interfering in whether Iran should have enrichment or not? You cannot have a say.”
