"The Islamic Republic of Iran does not see any glory, pride or power in nuclear weapons," Iran's Ambassador to Norway Seyed Hossein Rezvani said at the Conference in the Norwegian capital, Oslo, on Tuesday, press tv reported.
"Quite the opposite, based on the religious decree issued by our Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, which is rooted in the humanitarian impact of nuclear weapons and founded on the high values of our beliefs in preserving human safety, security and dignity, the production, possession, use or threat of use of nuclear weapons are illegitimate, futile, harmful, dangerous and prohibited as a great sin," Rezvani added.
Delegates from more than 130 countries came together in Oslo on March 4 and 5 to discuss the humanitarian and environmental consequences of nuclear weapons.
Several UN bodies, NGOs and representatives of civil society were also present at the conference.
The Israeli regime, the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and North Korea refused to participate at the conference, while India and Pakistan were the only nuclear powers represented at the event.
The United States, which is the only country that has ever used atomic bombs against human beings, has conducted over 1,030 nuclear tests since 1945, according to statistics by the UN.
Meanwhile, Israel, the only possessor of nuclear weapons in the Middle-East, is widely known to have between 200 and 400 nuclear warheads.
