Iran nuclear rights dispute continues as Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has said that US President Donald Trump has no authority to deny Iran its nuclear rights, amid ongoing tensions over the country’s nuclear programme.
According to the Iranian Student News Agency on Sunday, Pezeshkian criticised Trump and Washington’s efforts to limit Iran’s nuclear capabilities, as reported by Reuters.
“Trump asserts that Iran cannot exercise its nuclear rights but does not clarify the alleged offense. Who is he to deny a nation its rights?” Pezeshkian was quoted as saying in the ongoing Iran nuclear rights dispute.
The statement comes as diplomatic discussions continue between Iran and the United States over Tehran’s nuclear activities, which remain a major point of contention in international relations.
Recently, Trump claimed that Iran had accepted one of the most difficult conditions in ongoing negotiations aimed at resolving the dispute. He suggested that developments were moving quickly and that the situation could be resolved “relatively soon.”
Speaking at an event in Las Vegas, Trump said the situation in Iran was progressing “smoothly” and added that it “should be coming to an end shortly.”
He also indicated that a possible meeting between US and Iranian officials could take place over the weekend, raising cautious optimism that a breakthrough may be near in the Iran nuclear rights dispute.
Trump further stated that Iran had agreed to return enriched uranium and refrain from developing nuclear weapons for more than 20 years.
“They have agreed to return the nuclear dust to us,” Trump said, referring to uranium stockpiles.
Iran’s nuclear programme has remained a central issue in negotiations, including discussions held in Pakistan the previous weekend.
“We will keep an eye on the developments,” Trump added at the White House, expressing confidence that a final agreement with Iran is close to completion.
Analysts say the outcome of these talks could significantly shape future relations between Washington and Tehran, depending on whether both sides reach a lasting nuclear agreement.
