FM: Iran will under no circumstances ever develop nuclear weapon

Iran will resume nuclear talks with the United States in Geneva to secure a balanced agreement, reiterating that it will never pursue nuclear weapons, a senior Iranian diplomat said.

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi said on X that the upcoming talks will build on progress from previous rounds, Caliber.Az reports.

“Iran will resume talks with the U.S. in Geneva with a determination to achieve a fair and equitable deal—in the shortest possible time,” he stated.

Araghchi reiterated Tehran’s long-standing position on its nuclear programme.

“Our fundamental convictions are crystal clear: Iran will under no circumstances ever develop a nuclear weapon; neither will we Iranians ever forgo our right to harness the dividends of peaceful nuclear technology for our people,” he wrote.

He described the current negotiations as a historic opportunity to address shared concerns.

“We have a historic opportunity to strike an unprecedented agreement that addresses mutual concerns and achieves mutual interests. A deal is within reach, but only if diplomacy is given priority,” Araghchi added.

Highlighting Iran’s approach to sovereignty and diplomacy, he concluded:

“We have proven that we will stop at nothing to guard our sovereignty with courage. We bring the same courage to the negotiating table, where we will pursue a peaceful resolution to any differences.”
