Iran Stresses Regional Integrity While Negotiating Nuclear Deal

At a press event on August 20, Iran’s President Masoud Pejshaeian affirmed that talks with the United States are driven by the desire to protect the nation’s regional integrity, not by any intention to yield. He described the negotiation process as methodical, rooted in strength, wisdom and mutual respect. The president’s roadmap includes ending the ongoing conflict, lifting the maritime embargo, releasing Iran‑owned assets seized abroad, and re‑engaging in nuclear discussions. Pejshaeian noted that Iran’s resolve remains firm despite fluctuating U.S. policy signals.
