Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has reiterated that Tehran is willing to provide assurances that the country is not seeking a nuclear weapon, while insisting that Iran will not relinquish its right to enrich uranium, AFP reports.

“What the United States demands is that Iran not build an atomic bomb. This is nothing new, and we can also state in writing that we have no intention of building a bomb,” the president’s website quoted him as saying.

“However, we will not relinquish our right to enrichment, and the other side will have no choice but to accept this right,” he added, before Iranian and US negotiators are set to meet for talks in Switzerland.
