Iranian President insists on country's nuclear rights, ISNA reports
Pezeshkian said no leader can strip Iran of civilian nuclear rights as US and Iranian negotiators discussed a 20-year suspension proposal.
- On Sunday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that President Donald Trump 'has no justification' to deprive Iran of its nuclear rights, defending the nation's civilian nuclear energy program.
- The rejection follows stalled negotiations in Islamabad where the United States proposed a 20-year suspension of all Iranian nuclear activity, while Iran countered by suggesting a halt of three to five years.
- Tehran reasserted control over the strait on Saturday, again closing the critical energy chokepoint, which leaves about 20,000 seafarers and hundreds of vessels stranded in the Gulf.
- Oil prices fell about 10% and global stocks jumped on Friday as markets reacted to earlier prospects of marine traffic resuming, though Pezeshkian's comments now threaten to derail potential progress.
- President Trump previously threatened 'to start dropping bombs again' unless a long-term deal was reached before Wednesday's ceasefire expiration, as the conflict launched on February 28 continues to affect regional stability.
