Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has said claims that Tehran may pursue a nuclear weapon are a false “excuse” that untrustworthy international stakeholders use.
He told a group of nuclear officials and scientists in Tehran on Sunday that Islamic values prevent Iran from pursuing a weapon of mass destruction.
Iran currently enriches uranium to 60 percent, which is a short technical step from the over 90 percent purity required for a bomb, and is said to have amassed enough fissile material for more than one bomb. But Western intelligence sources and monitors say there have been no signs that Tehran is currently working on producing a bomb.

Al Jazeera’s Dorsa Jabbari reports on the developments in Tehran.
