Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Wednesday that the late supreme leader Ali Khamenei considered the use of nuclear and other unconventional weapons tantamount to destroying human life and future generations.
Speaking at the COP31 United Nations climate summit in Antalya, Turkey, Pezeshkian said Iran had pursued reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and expanded clean energy despite what he called unjust sanctions that restricted the country's access to international financing and technology.
He also said Iran's renewable power generation capacity had increased approximately fivefold over the past two years.
