BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 21. Iran will not
relinquish its right to enrich uranium, Iranian President Masoud
Pezeshkian said at the 33rd Monetary and Foreign Exchange Policy
Conference held today in Tehran.
“What is clear is that Iran will never give up its right to
uranium enrichment, and the other side is also obliged to accept
this reality,” he said.
According to him, several years ago the opposing side insisted
that Iran should abandon its missile program. However, it has now
accepted Iran’s right in this regard. The rules have changed, and
this change is the result of the efforts of Iran’s armed
forces.
“The U.S. demand is that Iran should not build a nuclear bomb.
Iran has repeatedly stated that it is not seeking to build a
nuclear bomb. This is not a new position, and we can even declare
it in writing that we have no intention of developing a nuclear
weapon,” he added.
Pezeshkian noted that Iran’s current strength is the result of
national unity. Any action that creates discord or problems within
the country should be avoided. He said that although he could
respond to or criticize certain individuals, unity is more
important to him than responding to criticism. According to the
president, Iran can move forward and become stronger through
unity.
The Iranian president added that the current level of solidarity
is a major achievement for Iran and that such unity has never
before existed in the country to this extent. He stressed that this
exceptional situation must be preserved.
On June 18, a memorandum of understanding was signed between
Iran and the United States. The document was signed by Iranian
President Masoud Pezeshkian and U.S. President Donald Trump, and it
entered into force on June 19.
