Iran Seeks Diplomatic Breakthrough in Nuclear Negotiations

During the recent 25th Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit held in Tianjin, China, President Pezeshkian engaged in significant discussions with United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. This meeting focused on addressing pressing challenges, including the nuclear issue, through constructive dialogue and international cooperation.

President Pezeshkian expressed Iran’s commitment to resolving ongoing issues via communication and interaction. He emphasized the need for international organizations, particularly the UN, to take stronger action against the crimes and provocations perpetrated by the Israeli regime in the region.

Key points from the meeting included:

  • Condemnation of Israeli Aggression: Pezeshkian underscored that Israel has initiated conflict against the Iranian nation, calling for a more decisive stance from international organizations.
  • Support for Palestinians: He acknowledged Secretary-General Guterres’ recognition of the atrocities faced by Palestinians in Gaza and expressed gratitude for his position.
  • Call for Clearer Positions: The Iranian president urged international bodies to adopt unequivocal stances condemning Israeli actions against Palestinians and other countries in the region.
  • Response to Attacks: He highlighted Iran’s experience with aggressive attacks from Israel, even while engaged in indirect negotiations with the United States.
  • Concerns about Terrorism: Pezeshkian pointed out that Iran has suffered greatly from terrorism, with numerous officials and leaders assassinated in acts of violence.
  • Critique of IAEA: He expressed dissatisfaction with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and its Director-General, Rafael Grossi, for not condemning Israeli attacks on Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities despite ongoing inspections.
  • Legislative Action: In response to the IAEA’s actions, the Iranian parliament passed a law to suspend cooperation with the agency, although Pezeshkian clarified that decisions regarding this collaboration would be managed by the Supreme National Security Council.

Furthermore, Pezeshkian stressed the significance of constructive engagement while continuing to seek diplomatic solutions. He asserted that Iran has been the primary victim of terrorism and criticized the Israeli regime for conducting arbitrary assassinations under the pretext of self-defense.

In a notable remark, Secretary-General Guterres expressed his personal belief that Iran is not pursuing the development of nuclear weapons. He reiterated Tehran’s right to a peaceful nuclear program and highlighted his concerns regarding the activation of the snapback mechanism. Guterres urged European parties involved in the nuclear agreement to work collaboratively with Iran on these critical issues.

In conclusion, the discussions between President Pezeshkian and Secretary-General Guterres underscored the need for greater international cooperation to address regional tensions and promote peace. The Iranian leadership seeks to navigate complex geopolitical landscapes while advocating for the rights of its nation and the region.

This engagement at the SCO summit reflects Iran’s strategic efforts to align with international bodies in addressing critical issues and seeking justice against aggressions faced by its people.
