Iran Says It Does Not Seek Nuclear Weapons, Is Open to U.S. Talks
The president said Iran would consider lower uranium enrichment and nuclear inspections under international law while continuing from a signed memorandum with Washington.
Iran’s president said Sept. 24 that Iran does not seek nuclear weapons and is willing to advance nuclear discussions with the United States, a position that could keep the country’s nuclear policy in focus for geopolitical and energy markets.
Iran is prepared to reduce its uranium-enrichment levels and accept inspections within the framework of international law, the president said. The remarks outline conditions for continued engagement while rejecting the pursuit of a nuclear weapon.
The president also said Iran had not chosen war and was not seeking one, but described the conflict as having been imposed on the country.
Regarding a previously signed Iran-U.S. memorandum of understanding, the president said the agreement remains a basis for further progress. No new meeting date or additional terms were provided.
Iran’s nuclear policy remains closely tied to geopolitical risk and energy-market sensitivity, making any movement toward talks significant for U.S. readers tracking global markets.
