Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has denied that Tehran seeks nuclear weapons and said his country remains open to dialogue, keeping Iran nuclear talks on the diplomatic agenda. He spoke while meeting Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze on the sidelines of a UN biodiversity summit in Armenia’s capital, Yerevan, and criticised United States sanctions on Iran.
What Pezeshkian said in Yerevan
According to a statement from the Iranian president’s office, Pezeshkian told his Georgian counterpart that Iran is not pursuing nuclear arms. “Iran is not seeking nuclear weapons, and we consider the malicious propaganda against our country to be lies,” he said.
He linked that denial to a willingness to negotiate. “We have always been ready for dialogue. They think they can force us to surrender, but we will not bow to coercion,” he added. The remarks cast Iran nuclear talks as a path Tehran says it has not closed, while rejecting pressure as a means to compel concessions.
Sanctions and the meeting’s setting
Pezeshkian described US sanctions against Tehran as “unjustifiable and inhumane.” The comments came in bilateral talks with Kobakhidze during the UN biodiversity gathering in Yerevan, not at a dedicated nuclear negotiation session. The available material does not name other participants in any nuclear track or announce a new round of formal talks.
What remains unclear
The statement does not set dates, venues or agendas for future Iran nuclear talks, nor does it detail technical steps on enrichment or inspections. It also does not respond to specific foreign government assessments of Iran’s nuclear programme. What is confirmed is Tehran’s public denial of a weapons goal, its stated readiness for dialogue, and its rejection of US sanctions, delivered in Yerevan by Pezeshkian to Georgia’s prime minister.

Iran ke president ne kaha ke Iran atomic hathyar nahi banana chahta. Unhon ne guftagu aur baat-cheet ke liye tayyari zahir ki. America ki pabandiyon ko ghalat aur zalimana qarar diya. Is waqt koi nayi rasm-e-muzakirat announce nahi hui, lekin Tehran ka kehna hai ke dabaao se wo jhukenge nahi.
