Iran President Says US Must Decide to End Conflict, Denies Nuclear Weapon AmbitionsPreviousNext

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that Tehran does not wish to continue the conflict with the United States, placing the decision to end the war on Washington. Speaking at the UN and in interviews, he emphasized Iran's openness to negotiations and willingness to revive a June ceasefire agreement before the US midterm elections. Pezeshkian denied ambitions for nuclear weapons, citing religious prohibitions, and expressed readiness to allow international inspections and reduce uranium enrichment. Meanwhile, US-Iran talks continue without immediate breakthroughs amid ongoing regional tensions.
