Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that Iran is not seeking nuclear weapons in response to US President Donald Trump's call for a 'verified nuclear peace agreement' to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear bomb. Pezeshkian emphasized that verifying Iran's lack of nuclear weapons is an easy task and referred to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's fatwa against the use of nuclear weapons. Trump had previously pulled the US out of the nuclear deal with Iran, and efforts to revive the deal have faltered. Iran condemned Trump's reinstatement of the 'maximum pressure' approach, stating that it will result in failure.
