Hi there,

As the future of democracy in the United States hangs in the balance, the need for courageous independent media is more important than ever. Our reporting centers the voices of people routinely excluded from corporate and government-run media, such as those raising deep questions about war and peace, demanding an end to our global reliance on fossil fuels. Because we are audience-supported, we need your help today. Can you donate $15 to Democracy Now! today to support independent media? From now until Giving Tuesday, a group of generous donors will TRIPLE your gift, which means your $15 donation is worth $45. Please help us air in-depth, substantive coverage of the outcome of the election and what it means for our collective future. Thank you so much! Every dollar makes a difference.

Iran Leader Renews Call for Nuclear-Free World

HeadlineAug 31, 2012

The IAEA report comes as Iran continues to host a meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement in Tehran. Addressing the 120-nation gathering on Thursday, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei repeated his government’s insistence on a peaceful nuclear program and its call for a nuclear-weapons-free world.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei: “I repeat that the Islamic Republic of Iran is not developing capabilities for nuclear weapons, but also will not overlook the rights of its people and their need for access to peaceful nuclear energy. Our motto is nuclear energy for all, and nuclear weapons is for none. We stand by both of these mottos. And we know that breaking the biased views that some Western countries hold about the production of nuclear energy, and the underlying fundamentals, is to the benefit of all nations.”
