Iran is holding indirect negotiations with the United States to reaffirm its right to peaceful nuclear energy, President Masoud Pezeshkian said, adding that Tehran will not yield to pressure or give up its nuclear ambitions for civilian use.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says his country is engaged in indirect negotiations with the United States to prove one point: Tehran does not seek war, nor nuclear weapons.
“We are negotiating to prove that we do not seek war,” he said in a message posted by the Iranian government’s Telegram channel. “Iran has never sought and will never seek to possess nuclear weapons, but it will under no circumstances give up its rights to peaceful nuclear energy.”
His remarks come amid renewed diplomatic exchanges between Tehran and Washington, though no direct meetings have been reported.
According to Pezeshkian, nuclear technology is essential for Iran’s development—not only for energy, but also in health, agriculture, and industrial sectors.
He warned that Iran would not abandon its rights “under pressure,” echoing long-standing frustration over Western sanctions and restrictions linked to the country’s nuclear programme.
The talks, though indirect, signal a potential shift in tone after years of stalled diplomacy following the U.S. withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal.
So far, Washington has not publicly commented on the latest exchanges.
