IRAN REFUSES TO SURRENDER TO U.S. BULLYING ON NUCLEAR ISSUE

President Pezeshkian vows dignity and fairness despite international pressures.

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian declared that Iran will never bow to U.S. “irrational and bullying” behavior on the nuclear issue, emphasizing the country’s readiness for transparent, fair negotiations based on mutual respect. He condemned sanctions and rejected any restrictions, citing a religious decree by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei banning nuclear weapons. Despite the collapse of recent UN Security Council resolutions to extend sanctions relief, Iran reaffirmed its path of dignity and readiness to negotiate on clear terms without acquiescing to problematic demands. The 2015 JCPOA nuclear deal remains a contested backdrop as the U.S. continues sanctions, and Iran scales back commitments.
