Iran says Khameneis ban of nuclear weapons binding

Khamenei said last year that Iran is not seeking atomic arms. He called possessing such weapons a “sin” as well as “useless, harmful and dangerous.”

Mehmanparast’s comments Tuesday come a day ahead of a new round of talks between Iran and the U.N.’s nuclear watchdog over Tehran’s disputed nuclear program.

The U.S. and its allies accuse Iran of seeking nuclear weapons, a charge Tehran denies.
