Iran’s President made the remarks during an interview with Qatar’s Al Jazeera television network on Tuesday, asserting that uranium enrichment on Iranian soil would continue in the future within the framework of international law.
“Nuclear capability resides in the minds of our scientists, not in our facilities.”
The Iranian president, meanwhile, repeated the Islamic Republic’s outright rejection of nuclear weapons and its strict pursuit of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. The assertion has been proven unexceptionally right by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)’s inspectors, despite their conducting unprecedentedly rigorous inspections of Iran’s nuclear facilities.
“We categorically reject possessing nuclear weapons,” the president said, adding, “This is our political, religious, human, and strategic position.”
Pezeshkian also repeated Iran’s preparedness for negotiations that do not deny it of its right to peaceful uranium enrichment, but asserted that “any future negotiations must be based on a win-win logic.”
Elsewhere in his remarks, the official underlined the Islamic Republic’s readiness to respond in kind to any fresh act of aggression by the Israeli regime targeting the nuclear program.
Pezeshkian said, “Trump says that Iran must not have nuclear weapons, and we accept that as well.”
Pezeshkian stated, “We do not seek war, and although we do not claim that a ceasefire is guaranteed, we will defend ourselves in the strongest way possible.”
“Iran has not surrendered and will not surrender,” he emphasized, adding that “we believe in diplomacy and dialogue.”
Pezeshkian noted, “The regional countries never supported Iran as they did during the previous war.”
The President firmly stated, “We totally reject the possession of nuclear weapons.”
