Iran Stands Firm: No Compromises on Key Achievements in Negotiations

In a significant address during a ceremony showcasing Iran’s latest nuclear advancements, President Pezeshkian emphasized the peaceful intent of the nation’s nuclear program. His speech came in conjunction with the celebration of National Nuclear Technology Day, a date that holds great importance in highlighting Iran’s commitment to nuclear science.

Pezeshkian took the opportunity to honor the memories of the country’s martyred scientists, stating, “More than 23,000 of this country’s best (people) have been assassinated; dedicated and knowledgeable people who were supposed to bring pride to our country.” He elaborated on the impact of these tragic losses, emphasizing the resilience and capability of the Iranian people.

He asserted, “They assassinated our scientists so that there would be no one in this country who could pave the way for the country’s progress. In order to prove that we cannot, they assassinate our good people, unaware that there are many capable people in our country.” This statement underscores Iran’s commitment to continue advancing its nuclear technology despite external challenges.

During his address, Pezeshkian reiterated Iran’s stance against nuclear weaponry, declaring, “We are not looking for an atomic bomb.” He pointedly questioned, “Who is setting policy (for Iran) above the Leader of the Islamic Revolution who has officially announced that we are not looking for a nuclear bomb? Check it a thousand times,” reinforcing the Islamic Republic’s dedication to peaceful nuclear pursuits.

In further remarks, Pezeshkian addressed the threats posed by Iran’s adversaries, stating, “We are not looking for war, but we will stand strong against any aggression with the knowledge and power that our scientists have created.” He conveyed a message of resilience, noting that the more pressure they face, the stronger the nation becomes.

He also expressed Iran’s commitment to fostering brotherhood with neighboring Islamic countries, asserting, “We have declared that we are brothers with all Islamic countries, and this is not a slogan, it is our belief.” This sentiment emphasizes the nation’s desire for peace and collaboration without political undercurrents.

• Peace and Security: Pezeshkian highlighted Iran’s desire for stability in the region, stating, “We want peace and security and are open to dialogue, but with dignity and pride.”
• Resilience Against Aggression: He conveyed that Iran will not compromise on its achievements nor allow external forces to stifle its innovation.
• Historical Context: Pezeshkian reminded the audience that “The enemy’s greed to think that he can enter into conflict with us is a false idea.”

In closing, Pezeshkian highlighted Iran’s historical resilience, stating, “Iran has never been a colony of foreigners because its people have not and will not allow foreigners to behave this way.” This statement encapsulates a profound sense of national pride and determination.

The ceremony and the president’s remarks serve as a testament to Iran’s ongoing commitment to its nuclear program, which is framed within the context of scientific advancement and national integrity. With a clear message of peace coupled with an unwavering stance against external threats, Iran aims to project a future defined by its own capabilities and aspirations.
