Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has said Tehran is neither after nuclear weapons nor will it compromise on its achievements in the field of nuclear technology.
His remarks were made on the National Day of Nuclear Technology on Wednesday as Iranian and US diplomats are preparing for negotiations in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman on Saturday.
Contrary to US President Donald Trump who said the talks will be direct, Iran has stressed they will be indirect as long as the US is pursuing the policy of intimidation and maximum pressure.
Iran and US delegates last met in Oman in May 2024 at the 7th round of indirect negotiations.
Commenting on the weekend meeting in Oman, Stephane Dujarric, the spokesman for UN Secretary General expressed the hope that it will be positive. He told reporters in New York it will be better if Iran and US can settle their differences through diplomacy.
Also Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has warned about any military adventurism against Iran saying it will lead to instability in the Middle East region.
In a related development, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova welcomed the talks on Saturday. She told reporters in Moscow following a meeting of Iranian, Chinese and Russian deputy foreign ministers that short-minded western politicians are responsible for the deadlock in the Iran nuclear program talks.
The meeting in Moscow was the second after they met in Beijing for the first time in March. The agenda of tri-lateral discussions are Tehran's nuclear program, removal of sanctions, and the UNSC Resolution 2231. This resolution will be reviewed in October in New York.
The EU troika of Britain, France and Germany have threated to activate the trigger mechanism which non-technically means reinstalling Iran’s nuclear sanctions.
But Iran insists it has acted in compliance with the Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and that it is under unprecedented inspections of the UN watchdog agency International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
