Pezeshkian Pledges Transparency on Iran’s Nuclear Intentions

In a significant public address, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian assured the international community that his country has no desire to develop nuclear arms. He framed Tehran’s position as one of peaceful intent, contrasting it with what he described as Israeli efforts to destabilize the region. The remarks were made during a high-level meeting with Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting executives. Pezeshkian highlighted the government’s focus on securing livelihoods for Iranian families. He praised citizens for their recent savings efforts and called for continued attention to energy efficiency. The president also reaffirmed that no strategic decisions would be taken outside established national security channels. The statement arrives amid renewed diplomatic activity between the United States and Iran. Speaking alongside India’s foreign minister in New Delhi, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said negotiations have advanced and suggested fresh announcements concerning the Strait of Hormuz may be imminent. Rubio underlined America’s long-standing policy that Iran must never possess nuclear weapons.
