No bomb, but Iran won’t give up 'peaceful' nuclear work, Pezeshkian says
Iran will not pursue nuclear weapons but will also not give up its peaceful nuclear program, President Masoud Pezeshkian said Thursday.
“We won’t build a nuclear bomb, but we will not abandon peaceful nuclear industry either,” he said, speaking to economic figures in Ilam province.
Pezeshkian condemned Western pressure, saying the US and Europe are “trying to impose maximum sanctions and pressure on our people.”
He accused foreign powers of seeking to exploit Iran’s resources while selling it weapons.
“We have placed our trust in God, not in the US and its agents,” he said. “We want to talk to the world, but we will not bow to coercion and bullying.”
