Iran ready for inspections but rejects ‘bullying,’ President Pezeshkian says

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Saturday that Tehran is open to nuclear inspections but will not accept pressure or coercion from foreign powers.

In a meeting with Kazakh Foreign Minister Murat Nurtleu in Tehran, Pezeshkian said Iran’s nuclear program is transparent and has never pursued weapons. “We are ready for inspections,” he said. “But we will not tolerate bullying or coercion. No one else has the right to decide our nation’s future.”

He reiterated that the country’s nuclear activities have been verified by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and said restricting nations’ access to vital technologies amounts to denying them “God-given blessings.”
