"From Islam's point of view, Muslims must make efforts to benefit from the most sophisticated military equipment and get specific weapons out of the monopoly of powerful countries,"
Iran's making nuclear bombs for sure. It's only a question of when they will finish building their nukes and when and where they'll use them. AP
TEHRAN, Iran — The hardline spiritual mentor of Iran's president has made a rare public call for producing the "special weapons" that are a monopoly of a few nations — a veiled reference to nuclear arms.[...]
"The most advanced weapons must be produced inside our country even if our enemies don't like it. There is no reason that they have the right to produce a special type of weapons, while other countries are deprived of it," Yazdi said.[...]
"Under Islamic teachings, all common tools and materialistic instruments must be employed against the enemy and prevent enemy's military superiority," he said.
He also said Muslims must not allow a few powers to monopolize certain weapons in their arsenal.
