Iran’s leadership has publicly stated that the country is prepared to allow international inspection of its nuclear programme and insists that it is not pursuing nuclear weapons. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian made the remarks during a national address, reaffirming Tehran’s official position that its nuclear activities are intended for peaceful purposes.

In his comments, Pezeshkian said Iran is ready for “any verification” of its nuclear programme and reiterated that Tehran has repeatedly stated it is not seeking to acquire atomic weapons. He also said Iran would continue diplomatic engagement with regional countries and expressed a desire for peaceful resolution of tensions.

At the same time, broader diplomatic efforts to resolve long-standing disputes over Iran’s nuclear activities continue amid complex negotiations involving the United States and other international actors. Previous comments from Iranian officials have emphasized the country’s non-negotiable stance on retaining the right to enrich uranium under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), even as dialogue with the U.S. and other partners seeks to build confidence and clarify intentions.

No comprehensive agreement has yet been reached, and differences remain over issues such as enrichment levels, verification mechanisms, and the scope of inspections. Nonetheless, Tehran’s recent statements signal a willingness to engage with inspection measures and reiterate that it does not aim to develop nuclear weapons.
