Iran Reaffirms Nuclear Rights, Plans Diplomacy with U.S.

Iran has reiterated its commitment to diplomacy and peaceful nuclear development amid postponed indirect nuclear talks with the United States, emphasizing that any delays were mutually agreed upon with Omani mediation. Iranian officials insist that their nuclear program is legal under the Non-Proliferation Treaty, asserting their right to enrich uranium and rejecting outside attempts to introduce unrelated issues into the negotiations. Despite critical rhetoric toward U.S. and Israeli influence, Iran maintains that dialogue and mutual respect are the only viable paths to a deal, and remains open to further diplomatic engagement. Contradictory statements from U.S. officials have been criticized as unhelpful, but Iran stresses it will not compromise on its sovereign rights or national interests.
