"We completely reject [the possibility of] possessing nuclear weapons - this is our political, religious, humanitarian and strategic position," Peseshkian recalled, quoted by the Qatari TV channel. He stressed that Iran "will continue enriching uranium on its territory in the future within the framework of international law."
Commenting on US President Donald Trump's statements that Iran should not get nuclear weapons, Peseshkian noted that Tehran "agrees with this." "The claim that our nuclear program has been destroyed is an illusion, because our capabilities are in the minds of our scientists, not in the facilities," the Iranian president continued. In this context, he stressed that any negotiations on the republic's nuclear program should be conducted taking into account the interests of all parties, and threats against Tehran are unacceptable.
In 2025, five rounds of negotiations between Iran and the United States on the nuclear dossier ended inconclusively due to the start of Israel's military operation against the Islamic Republic and attacks by the American Armed Forces on Iranian nuclear facilities. At the same time, negotiations with Tehran were conducted by representatives of the Eurotroika countries, who were unable to mediate a new agreement on the Iranian atom. tass.ru.
