Iran denies nuclear weapons claim by Indonesian President Prabowo

The Iranian Embassy in Indonesia has officially denied claims made by Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto that Iran possesses nuclear weapons. In a statement issued through its official social media accounts, including Instagram, the embassy emphasized that Iran has never developed nuclear weapons and has no intention of doing so.

The denial directly addresses remarks made by President Prabowo during a speech to the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) on July 31, 2026. The President had asserted that Iran already possessed nuclear weapons, a claim now refuted by Tehran's diplomatic mission in Jakarta.

This clarification from the Iranian Embassy was accompanied by an infographic titled "The Islamic Republic of Iran's Nuclear Program," aiming to provide factual information regarding the country's nuclear activities. The embassy's statement was posted on Sunday, August 2, 2026.
