Why it matters:
The statement comes amid renewed U.S. pressure on Iran, with Washington seeking to revive negotiations over Tehran's nuclear activities. Iran’s stance underscores its refusal to accept Western-imposed conditions while maintaining openness to diplomatic engagement under fair terms.
What they're saying:
In a statement on X on Sunday, Iran’s UN Mission said: "If the objective of negotiations is to address concerns regarding any potential militarization of Iran’s nuclear program, such discussions may be subject to consideration. However, should the aim be the dismantlement of Iran’s peaceful nuclear program to claim that what Obama failed to achieve has now been accomplished, such negotiations will never take place."
Key points:
- Iran refuses to negotiate the dismantling of its nuclear program.
- Tehran says it may consider talks if they are aimed at easing concerns over nuclear militarization.
- U.S. President Donald Trump recently claimed he sent a letter to Iran requesting new negotiations.
- Iran's stance remains firm on safeguarding its nuclear rights under international law.
Go deeper:
Tehran has consistently announced that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, in line with its rights under the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). This statement reinforces its stance against Western pressures. Iran insists that negotiations should be based on mutual respect and recognition of its sovereign rights.
