IRGC urged Khamenei to revoke fatwa on nuclear weapons

Senior commanders of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have urged Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to rescind his longstanding fatwa that bans the development and use of nuclear weapons, The Telegraph reported on Sunday.

They reportedly argued that possessing atomic bombs is essential for the nation’s survival amid mounting pressures from Western adversaries.

Ayatollah Khamenei’s fatwa, issued in the mid-1990s and publicly announced in 2003, explicitly forbids the production, stockpiling, and use of nuclear weapons, deeming them contrary to Islamic principles. This decree has been a cornerstone of Iran’s official stance on nuclear armament.

In light of these developments, IRGC leaders have reportedly expressed concerns that adhering to the fatwa may leave Iran inadequately prepared to counter existential threats, and that the acquisition of nuclear weapons would serve as a powerful deterrent against adversaries.

Another source told the newspaper: "We have never been so weak and this may be our last chance to get one of these weapons before it's too late."
