Iran Sees Fresh US Negotiations as Path to Fair Nuclear Deal

(MENAFN) Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian described the latest round of negotiations with the United States on Monday as a “very good opportunity” to achieve a “fair, logical, and mutually satisfactory” agreement regarding Tehran’s nuclear program, according to reports.

Tehran seeks to secure its rights under the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), particularly on matters of “enrichment and the lifting of unjust sanctions,” Pezeshkian said at an event in the capital marking the 47th anniversary of the 1979 Iranian Revolution.

Iran and the US resumed nuclear talks in Oman on Friday after an eight-month hiatus.

Pezeshkian, who assumed office two years ago pledging to revive diplomacy with Washington, emphasized that “through dialogue and negotiation” is the most practical way to address regional and global challenges.

“Any negotiation that is based on international law, dignity, respect for national sovereignty, on an equal footing, and founded on the principle of win-win will be accepted and welcomed by us. Our foreign policy is defined by dignified interaction,” he added.

The Iranian president said Tehran is taking steps to ensure the “success of this path” and expressed hope that the US will also “commit to the requirements of this goal without excessive demands” to reach a “desirable result” in the ongoing negotiations.

“Our message to the world is clear: Iran is a country that honors its commitments, provided it also witnesses sincerity and adherence to obligations from others,” he said.

Pezeshkian further highlighted that Iran “extends a hand of friendship” to all nations seeking “sincere cooperation,” noting that the country’s economic, transport, and knowledge-based capacities provide a “suitable platform for multilateral cooperation.”
