Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated Monday that Iran's nuclear activity will be compatible with the state's needs and within the framework of declared policy, according to Iranian media. The statement, which does not confirm or deny the emerging U.S.-Iran deal framework, comes amid a series of Trump administration pronouncements about an accord.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated Monday morning that Iran's nuclear program will proceed 'compatible with the state's needs and within the framework of the policy we have declared.' The brief statement, carried by Iranian state-affiliated media, offers no specific commitments regarding inspections, enrichment levels, or a potential final accord with the United States.
The remark comes one week after a series of Trump administration statements describing a finalized peace agreement with Iran, including Trump's assertion on June 25 that Iran 'is giving me everything I want and cooperating fully.' Earlier this month, the White House said Iran had agreed not to build nuclear weapons, and Trump claimed on June 22 that Iran would accept large-scale weapons inspections to ensure 'nuclear honesty.' In parallel, the Iranian Foreign Ministry reiterated on June 22 that the nuclear energy program would continue under existing procedures, as authorized by parliament and the Supreme National Security Council.
Pezeshkian's latest formulation — linking the program to 'state needs' and 'declared policy' — leaves ambiguity about whether Iran considers the nascent deal binding or merely a temporary arrangement. The statement does not explicitly reference any agreement with Washington, nor does it address U.S. demands for verification. The Zioneer has previously reported on the evolving U.S.-Iran diplomatic framework; this development adds no new details about the terms or timeline of any accord.
