TEHRAN, June 12 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian affirmed Wednesday that his country will not yield to “American arrogance” regarding its nuclear programme, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported.
Speaking to the official IRNA news agency, Pezeshkian said negotiations with the United States (US) and Europe over the nuclear file are ongoing.
He emphasised that the talks are being conducted within the framework set by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
“We will not bow to arrogance,” he said. “We will never accept the elimination of our nuclear research, only to then wait for their approval to access the nuclear materials we need for our industry, medicine, agriculture and other sciences.”
US President Donald Trump said he is "less confident" compared to "a couple of months ago" about reaching a nuclear deal with Iran, according to the report.
A sixth round of Iran-US nuclear talks is planned for Sunday in Oman's capital, Muscat, said Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei.
Iran and the US resumed nuclear diplomacy in April, with Oman acting as mediator. Since then, they have held five rounds in Muscat and Rome.
While both sides have acknowledged some progress, a decisive breakthrough has yet to be achieved.
Uranium enrichment has emerged as a key sticking point in the negotiations, with the US calling for its dismantling and Iran insisting the programme will continue.
