Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tehran is prepared to engage in dialogue to resolve outstanding disputes, but will not accept what he described as bullying or the use of force against his country, according to the state news agency IRNA.
Speaking in New York, Pezeshkian reiterated Iran's long-standing position that it has never sought to develop nuclear weapons, saying the country remains committed to the peaceful use of nuclear technology.
The remarks come amid continued international scrutiny of Iran's nuclear program and periodic rounds of diplomacy over the issue. Pezeshkian's comments frame Tehran's stance as open to negotiation while rejecting pressure tactics, a position Iranian officials have repeated in previous statements on the nuclear file.
