The Iranian embassy in Turkey said NATO's allegations are politically motivated, reiterating that Tehran's nuclear program is for civilian purposes only and that Iran does not seek nuclear weapons. Iran also accused the United States and other countries of military interference and destabilizing the region.
Iran on Thursday dismissed NATO's allegations regarding its nuclear program and the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, with the Iranian embassy in Turkey calling the claims 'baseless and political.' Tehran reiterated that its nuclear program is exclusively for civilian purposes and that it does not seek or possess nuclear weapons. The statement also accused the United States and other nations of military interference and destabilizing the region. This is consistent with Iran's longstanding public position, which The Zioneer has covered extensively: Iranian officials have repeatedly denied weaponization ambitions and insisted that missile and defense capabilities are not subject to negotiation.
