Iran will never cease uranium enrichment, Pezeshkian tells Oman Daily

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian defended his country’s right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes in an interview with Oman’s state-run newspaper Oman Daily, saying it will not stop enrichment as it is permitted under international law.

"International laws are the fair and just conditions under which any country can conduct scientific and specialized research related to uranium enrichment and benefit from the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes,” Oman Daily quoted him as saying.

The paper added that Pezeshkian stressed that Iran does not seek to acquire nuclear weapons at all, but rather to benefit from enrichment in the fields of medicine, energy, and the economy.
