Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says his country is ready for “any verification” of its nuclear program and insists Tehran is not seeking an atomic weapon.
“We are not seeking to acquire nuclear weapons. We have stated this repeatedly and are ready for any verification,” he says on the 47th anniversary of Iran’s Islamic Revolution, which is being marked against the backdrop of military threats from the United States.
Pezeshkian says Iran will “not yield to excessive demands” on the matter, after Tehran resumed talks with the US.
“Our country, Iran, will not yield to their excessive demands,” he says in his speech at Azadi Square in the capital. “Our Iran will not yield in the face of aggression, but we are continuing dialogue with all our strength with neighboring countries in order to establish peace and tranquility in the region.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
