When Political Power is in Our Hands
We will declare the end of any religious state forever. We will put an end to the interference of religion in the lives of the people, in the education system and in the judiciary. We will abolish official religion and declare religious belief or non-belief a private affair. We will end any kind of state or religious intrusion in people’s personal beliefs and private lives. The next state in Iran will be a secular, free and equal one.
Our stand on nuclear issue:
The nuclear installations will be dismantled and all weapons of mass destruction will be destroyed. Relations with Western societies will be promoted; science and progressive culture and civilisation will be welcome, and along with the humanitarian people of the world, progressive political, social and cultural values and the rightful demands of the people will be defended against reactionary states and movements.
