Iran ready for nuclear-focused talks, rejects US military build-up | Israel-Iran conflict News

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian called for respect and dialogue in nuclear negotiations with the United States, while emphasizing his country's sovereignty. He rejected a military build-up by the US and Israel, stating Iran will not relinquish its right to nuclear enrichment. Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s chief diplomat, echoed these sentiments, highlighting Iran's independence since the 1979 revolution. However, Iranian authorities have accused the US, Israel, and European countries of instigating anti-government protests that resulted in thousands of deaths. The Iranian government maintains that only a limited number of medical personnel were arrested for participating in riots. The anniversary of the revolution approaches on Wednesday, prompting state-organized demonstrations across the country.
