Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian described the agreement with the United States as a 'great victory' and stated that Tehran is not seeking to build nuclear weapons. The remarks, made Monday afternoon, align with Iran's public posture of presenting the deal as a diplomatic achievement.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated Monday that the agreement with the United States constitutes a 'great victory' and that Iran has no intention of developing nuclear weapons. The statement, reported by Israeli media channels via Persian-language sources, reinforces Tehran's narrative of the accord as a diplomatic breakthrough while addressing the central concern of Western negotiators — Iran's nuclear ambitions.
The phrasing closely echoes earlier remarks by Pezeshkian, who called the US-Iran memorandum of understanding a 'historic document' on June 18. That statement also stressed Iran's commitment to mutual respect and regional cooperation while preserving its dignity and independence. The current comment appears calibrated to reassure domestic and international audiences that Iran accepts constraints on its nuclear program as part of the deal.
As The Zioneer has reported extensively, the US-Iran agreement has been described by President Donald Trump as a 'fortress wall' and a 'wall against a nuclear weapon.' In a June 18 statement, Trump asserted that Iran will never possess a nuclear weapon. Pezeshkian's latest remarks directly address that core objective, ruling out the seeking of nuclear arms — though the precise restrictions, verification mechanisms, and timetable for implementation remain subject to the final text.
The statement was attributed to Pezeshkian by multiple Israeli media channels citing Iranian sources; independent confirmation from official Iranian state media was not yet available at the time of this bulletin.
