Iranian President Rejects Trump’s Assertion Over Nuclear Program
Tehran – Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated this morning that Donald Trump does not possess the authority to dictate Iran’s nuclear program, according to reports from Iranian media. Speaking during a visit to the Ministry of Sport, Pezeshkian directly challenged Trump’s assertion that Iran should not exercise its rights. “Trump says that Iran should not use its rights,” Pezeshkian stated.
“What kind of person is he who is able to deprive a country of its legal rights?” The Iranian president emphasized Tehran’s ongoing efforts to “end the war with full dignity,” coinciding with the expiration of a US-Iran ceasefire on Wednesday, as reported by Telegrafi. Concerns are rising regarding potential global disruption, particularly with Iran’s increasing control over the strategic Hormuz Strait. Qatar has indicated that the influence is “not far off,” highlighting the potential ramifications.
Pezeshkian is viewed within Iran as a relatively moderate figure and is believed to wield influence within the ruling regime. The comments represent a direct rebuttal to recent U.S. policy regarding the country’s nuclear activities.
