Imam showed his great opposition to manufacturing of any kind of Weapons of mass destructions (WMD) or nuclear arsenals even for defensive purposes.


As a matter of fact, that kind of victory achieved by modern weapons is not much enduring and cannot last for a long time.


In contrast, the positive aspects of victory in classic wars are far greater than temporary achievements by clashes of the modern armies.


Imam believed that there are different strategies to defend a country; it should not be only on the part of military forces. Thinkers, philosophers and politicians also play a role in safeguarding the land and interests of its nation.


According to Imam’s views, another important point is that countries and politicians do not always adopt a good manner to each other.


 Hostility is the outcome of power-playing by the ill-wished superpowers and dictatorial regimes across the world. Even if one be committed to the ethical rules, the other may not be so.


Therefore, each country needs to defend its sovereignty and dignity against the aggression.
