Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian reiterated on Sunday that Tehran is prepared to offer assurances that it is not pursuing a nuclear weapon, while underscoring that Iran will not give up its right to enrich uranium.
“What the United States wants is for Iran not to build an atomic bomb. This is nothing new, and we can even put in writing that we have no intention of producing one,” his official website quoted him as saying.
“But we will not abandon our enrichment rights, and the other side will ultimately have to acknowledge this,” he added, ahead of planned talks between Iranian and US negotiators in Switzerland later on Sunday.
