Iran's President Pledges to Keep Nuclear Tech

(MENAFN) Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has firmly declared that Tehran will not relinquish its nuclear capabilities, even as a second round of indirect talks with Washington concludes in Geneva — signaling both defiance and cautious diplomatic engagement on the world stage.

Pezeshkian made the remarks during a meeting with three civil activists, according to a news agency, insisting that Iran's nuclear pursuits remain entirely peaceful and that the country stands ready to demonstrate as much.

The president pointed to longstanding national policy and a religious decree issued by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei as the foundation for Iran's repeated position that it does not seek to develop nuclear weapons — and said Tehran welcomes any verification process to confirm that stance.

Yet Pezeshkian drew a firm line: Iran will not be stripped of its right to harness nuclear science for medicine, industry, or agriculture, regardless of external pressure.

The statement arrives at a critical moment. Tensions between Tehran and Washington remain sharply elevated, compounded by an expanding U.S. military presence across West Asia. Against that volatile backdrop, Iran and the United States wrapped up a second round of indirect nuclear negotiations in Geneva on Tuesday — talks held at Oman's embassy in the Swiss city and brokered by Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr bin Hamad bin Hamood Albusaidi. The first round had taken place in the Omani capital Muscat on Feb. 6.
