Imam Opposed Weapons of Mass Destruction (W.M.D)

Imam Khomeini the great spiritual and religious leader of the world showed his strong opposition towards developing, keeping or maintaining the weapons of mass destruction.

He recounted the event with bitterness

You are worse than the Zionists

Avoiding meeting the Iraqi authorities in private

You cannot take photographs

I don't have money; ask him to pay back the loan

This manner of pilgrimage is not proper

One night when I was in the presence of the Imam, his holiness expressed concern on this subject and stated: “Pilgrimage of the mausoleum of Imam Husayn (‘a) is not at all merited if it involves mistreatment and insult.”
