A former Iranian diplomat has said that if Israel or the US take “dangerous” steps, the Islamic Republic’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei may reverse the religious opinion that forbids the acquisition, development or use of nuclear weapons.
Speaking during a January interview with the Lebanese al-Mayadeen TV, ex-Iranian diplomat Amir Mousavi said, “A fatwa is issued in accordance with developing circumstances. Therefore, I believe that if the Americans and Zionists act in a dangerous manner, the fatwa might be changed,” according to a translation published this week by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

10 Hong Kongers in Court in China Will Not Get a Fair Trial Says EU
The 10 Hong Kong activists who went on trial in Shenzhen China on Monday cannot appoint their own lawyers, will not get a fair and open trial, and should be released forthwith, the European Union’s diplomatic service has stated.
The 10 are part of a group of 12 Hong Kong freedom activists between the ages of 16 and 33 who, while en-route to the self-ruled island of Taiwan to seek political asylum in August, were captured in the South China sea by Chinese authorities.
“The European Union calls for the immediate release of these 12 individuals and their swift return to Hong Kong,” a European Union External Action Service (EEAS) spokesperson said in a statement on Tuesday.
