Tehran Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi affirmed the nation's commitment to ongoing nuclear talks with the United States. Speaking at a press conference, Raisi stated that while Iran seeks a peaceful resolution, it will not relinquish its perceived rights under pressure from the U.S. government.
"We are committed to dialogue, but we will not be bullied," Raisi declared. "Our nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, and we will continue to develop it within the framework of international regulations."
The announcement comes amidst heightened tensions between the two countries, with the U.S. expressing increasing concern over the rapid development of Iran's nuclear capabilities. The U.S. has warned of potential consequences if Iran does not cooperate fully with international inspectors and address concerns about its nuclear program's intentions.
The ongoing negotiations aim to revive the 2015 nuclear deal, which placed restrictions on Iran's nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief. However, the deal has been in jeopardy since the U.S. unilaterally withdrew from it in 2018.

President Raisi stated that Iran will not back down from its nuclear rights despite recent threats from the U.S. This decision comes as international concerns grow over the pace of Iran's nuclear advancements. The talks aim to find a resolution that ensures regional stability and prevents further escalation.
