Iran's President Masoud Bezhakian stated that the country accepts any verification mechanism to demonstrate its non-pursuit of nuclear weapons while refusing to abandon peaceful nuclear industry.
Iranian President Masoud Bezhakian emphasized the country's stance on nuclear verification, asserting that Iran is open to any mechanism that can validate its commitment not to pursue nuclear weapons. However, he made it clear that Iran will not compromise on its right to maintain a peaceful nuclear program. This statement comes against a backdrop of ongoing negotiations with the United States, which are said to be coordinated with the approval of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Bezhakian expressed that the objective of these negotiations is to achieve a concrete resolution, rather than engaging in dialogue for dialogue's sake.
During his remarks, Bezhakian indicated progress in resolving various issues with neighboring Islamic countries, highlighting their collective efforts to ease regional tensions. His comments reflect a commitment to diplomatic engagement and a desire for stability in the region, which has been fraught with conflict and uncertainty. The acknowledgment of improvements in relations with neighboring countries suggests a strategic approach aiming to bolster cooperation and mutual understanding.
Earlier on the same day, the second round of indirect negotiations between the United States and Iran concluded at the Omani embassy in Geneva, Switzerland. The Iranian delegation was led by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, while the U.S. team included Special Presidential Envoy for the Middle East Steve Nucifora and Jared Kushner, a senior advisor to President Donald Trump. The ongoing discussions in Geneva are pivotal in determining the future of U.S.-Iran relations and may impact broader regional dynamics.
