Tehran, February 11 – In a powerful address marking the 47th anniversary of Iran’s Islamic Revolution, President Masoud Pezeshkian declared that Iran is open to any form of inspection on its nuclear program, emphasizing the nation’s firm stance against developing nuclear weapons.
Speaking to a massive crowd at Tehran’s Azadi Square, Pezeshkian underscored Iran’s peaceful intentions. ‘We do not seek nuclear weapons. We have repeatedly stated this and are prepared for any verification,’ he asserted, highlighting Tehran’s willingness to cooperate while drawing a clear red line.
The president made it unequivocal that Iran will not yield to excessive demands from Western powers. ‘Our country, Iran, will not bow to their overreaching demands or attacks,’ he said, pointing fingers at the United States and Europe for erecting ‘a high wall of suspicion’ through their rhetoric, which has stalled negotiations.
Despite global tensions, Pezeshkian stressed Iran’s commitment to regional peace. He noted ongoing robust dialogues with neighboring countries to foster stability and tranquility in the Middle East.
Reflecting on last year’s protests, the leader praised the Iranian people’s unity. ‘The world must see that millions have come forward to protect our revolution, follow our leadership, and defend our valuable homeland,’ he remarked.
Pezeshkian elaborated on the 1979 revolution’s core objectives: establishing justice, safeguarding Iran’s independence, and demonstrating that Iranians and Muslims can build their nation through strength, resolve, knowledge, and art, securing dignity and freedom.
Acknowledging administrative shortcomings, he apologized to the citizens and vowed his government’s determination to resolve issues. With divine assistance and guidance from Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, he expressed confidence in overcoming challenges ahead.
This statement comes amid heightened international scrutiny of Iran’s nuclear activities, signaling a potential pathway for diplomacy while reinforcing national sovereignty.
