Pezeshkian defends Iran’s Uranium enrichment rights

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has reaffirmed that Tehran will never give up its right to enrich uranium, insisting that other countries will eventually have to recognize this right.

Speaking at a ceremony in Tehran, Pezeshkian said Iran remains committed to its nuclear rights despite international pressure. He also criticized recent statements by U.S. President Donald Trump, claiming that the American leader had significantly changed his position on Iran’s nuclear program.

According to Pezeshkian, Trump previously argued that Iran had no right to enrich uranium and demanded that the country surrender unconditionally. However, the Iranian president said the U.S. leader later acknowledged that Iran possesses certain rights and has the right to maintain them.

Pezeshkian described this shift as a complete reversal of Washington’s earlier stance. He argued that the change demonstrates that the United States cannot ignore Iran’s legitimate rights indefinitely. He also expressed hope that negotiators involved in diplomatic efforts would continue their work and move the process toward a successful outcome.

The Iranian president further accused monarchist opposition groups of trying to create instability and prevent the country from progressing in a peaceful environment. He said these groups do not want to see improvements in the lives of ordinary Iranians. Pezeshkian added that anyone attempting to undermine stability in Iran is effectively following the agenda of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
