Iran’s president says his country will continue talks with the United States over its rapidly advancing nuclear program but will not withdraw from its rights because of US threats.
“We are negotiating, and we will negotiate. We are not after war but we do not fear any threat,” President Masoud Pezeshkian says during a speech to navy officials broadcast by state television.
“It is not like if they threaten us we will give up our human right and definite rights,” Pezeshkian says. “We will not withdraw, we will not easily lose honorable achievements in military, scientific and nuclear” fields and other areas.
