Pezeshkian: Iran Not to Abandon Nuclear Rights
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stressed that Tehran is ready for talks over its peaceful nuclear program but will never bow to pressure and give up the nation’s rights.
During a meeting with the new French Ambassador to Tehran, Pierre Cochard, on Monday, Pezeshkian said Iran demands its rights within "the framework of international regulations and adheres to the requirements of this framework".He added that Iran's nuclear activities had been subject to the strictest supervision in the past and that Tehran is ready for interactions in this regard."However, this does not mean that we are relinquishing the rights of the Iranian people. We are ready for dialogue and do not seek war, but our response to any potential repetition of aggression will be strong,” the Iranian president stated.
Tehran and Washington had held five rounds of indirect talks on Iran’s nuclear program before Israel unleashed a war on the Islamic Republic, which included strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. Mediated by Oman, the 6th round of talks was planned to be held in Muscat, but was called off due to the Israeli raids. Instead of condemning the terror act, the US attacked three Iranian nuclear facilities—an action which was described by Tehran as betrayal to diplomacy.
During the meeting, Pezeshkian emphasized that Iran seeks interaction with the world, but Western countries are disrupting this process by spreading lies and accusing Tehran of making endeavours to manufacture nuclear weapons.
