Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has reaffirmed that Tehran will not abandon its right to enrich uranium, speaking just ahead of highly anticipated talks between Iranian and American officials in Switzerland.

In a televised statement, Pezeshkian stated that the Iranian negotiating team "will continue the talks with strength," noting that what has been achieved so far "is the result of collective teamwork."

He added that Iran seeks to "protect its rights and privileges, and refuses to submit to coercion, injustice, and oppression." At the same time, he emphasized that his country "will not give up its right to enrichment," asserting that the opposing party "will be forced to accept this right."

In the same context, the Iranian President stressed that Tehran is not seeking to acquire a nuclear weapon. He explained that his country "can confirm in writing the absence of any intention to build a nuclear bomb," signaling a potential readiness to provide formal international guarantees in this regard.
