Iran Offers Written Nuclear Assurances
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has said Tehran is ready to give written assurances that it is not seeking nuclear weapons, but he ruled out giving up Iran’s right to enrich uranium as talks with the United States continue.
Iran Rejects Nuclear Weapons Claim
Pezeshkian said Iran can put in writing that it has no intention of developing nuclear weapons. He said Tehran’s position has remained consistent and that its nuclear programme is meant for peaceful purposes.
The statement comes as Western governments continue to raise concerns over Iran’s uranium enrichment levels and the need for strict verification under any future agreement.
Iran Defends Uranium Enrichment Rights
While offering written guarantees, Pezeshkian made it clear that Iran would not abandon uranium enrichment. He said the country considers enrichment a national right and would not accept any agreement that removes that right.
The issue remains one of the main obstacles in negotiations. The United States wants stronger limits and monitoring, while Iran wants recognition of its right to continue enrichment under safeguards.
US Iran Nuclear Talks Continue
The remarks came as U.S. and Iranian negotiators continued diplomatic efforts in Switzerland. The talks are focused on Iran’s nuclear programme, sanctions relief and wider regional security concerns.
Pezeshkian also referred to recent understandings between both sides and said their results would become clear over time. The next stage of negotiations is expected to focus on how nuclear assurances, enrichment rights and sanctions relief can be balanced.
