Hope for U.S. Agreement: Pezeshkian Urges Washington to Steer Clear of Bullying Tactics
In recent discussions regarding the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program and the lifting of anti-Iran sanctions, President Masoud Pezeshkian emphasized that the pathway to an agreement with the United States remains open, provided that Washington refrains from a bullying attitude during indirect talks.
During a significant meeting with Qatar’s Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, held on the sidelines of the Tehran Dialogue Forum 2025 on Sunday, President Pezeshkian articulated several key points:
- The Islamic Republic will not yield to external pressure.
- He expressed optimism for swift implementation of agreements between Tehran and Doha, which would benefit both nations.
- He highlighted the importance of executing joint projects and enhancing bilateral cooperation to foster positive developments in the region.
Additionally, the Qatari official extended warm greetings from Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani to President Pezeshkian, sharing hopes that the president’s wise approach would contribute to regional security and stability.
The Qatari Prime Minister reaffirmed Qatar’s longstanding support for Iran’s rights, which he attributed to their shared religious ties. He noted that, based on historical precedents, pressure and coercion have been ineffective in dealings with Iran. Instead, he emphasized that dialogue and mutual understanding have yielded successful outcomes.
In closing, the Qatari foreign minister expressed his wishes for Iran’s success in the political arena, reinforcing the importance of collaborative efforts in the region.
