‘Not seeking nuclear weapons’: Iran responds after Trump demands new agreement
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that Iran is not seeking nuclear weapons, citing Ayatollah Khamenei’s fatwa. His remarks followed former US President Donald Trump’s call for a “verified nuclear peace agreement” and insistence that Iran must not obtain nuclear arms. The US had withdrawn from the 2015 nuclear deal, leading Iran to reduce its commitments, while efforts to revive the agreement remain stalled.
