M.A. Thesis:

A legal and jurisprudencial study of the Iranian nuclear program and legal methodology for its advocation.

Definition of nuclear energy: Energy generated by nuclear reactions is called nuclear energy. This energy comes from two sources: A. Splitting the nucleus of heavy atoms B. Fusion of the nucleus of light atoms Iran peaceful nuclear plans have legally been defendable from the beginning since there are a lot of articles in IAIE protocols and such as NPT treaties which respect this right and gives Iran the right to use nuclear energy. Iran' approach to nuclear energy and nuclear agreements and treaties so far shows that it has never wished to achieve nuclear weapons. It has always participated and joined all international treaties for nuclear disarmament. And, it has always respected all the commitments it has made. According to the verses of the Holy book, holy sayings, regulations, and from a rationalistic viewpoint, the use of nuclear weapons is forbidden (haram) due to its destructive effect on innocent people and even the next generations, and the environment. Therefore, the purpose of the Islamic Republic of Iran to achieve nuclear energy is to apply it in peaceful activities such as agriculture and medicine. Moreover, being committed to religious beliefs, it has never pursued non-peaceful goals, and it will never do.
