Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian affirmed that the country will persist in negotiations with the U.S. concerning its nuclear program, asserting that they will not relinquish their rights in response to American threats. During a address to navy personnel broadcast on state television, he emphasized that Iran seeks no conflict but is undeterred by threats: “We will not withdraw, we will not easily lose honorable military, scientific, nuclear in all fields.”
Negotiations have advanced to a technical level, focusing on the contentious issue of uranium enrichment, which Iran insists is essential for its interests while the Trump administration demands its cessation. Trump has warned that he may resort to military action if an agreement isn’t reached. Despite these threats, Iranian officials indicated a willingness to develop a nuclear weapon if necessary.
The head of Iran’s atomic agency, Mohammad Eslami, maintained that the nation’s nuclear activities are peaceful and under extensive monitoring by the U.N. nuclear watchdog, which has conducted over 450 inspections this year.
In the backdrop of these tensions, Israel has threatened to strike Iran’s nuclear sites amidst escalating regional conflicts, particularly the ongoing violence in Gaza. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei criticized Trump’s claims of fostering peace, accusing the U.S. administration of facilitating violence in the region, especially through its support of Israel. Khamenei asserted that the U.S. military presence is seen as a direct threat by Iran and expressed confidence that the U.S. would ultimately withdraw from the region, labeling Israel a corrupt and dangerous entity that must be eradicated.
