ALWAGHT- Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian expressed the country's willingness to engage in dialogue with the second Trump administration, while condemning the US government for violating its commitments in the past and attempting to overthrow the Iranian government.
In an interview with NBC News, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian expressed Iran's openness to dialogue with the second Trump administration. However, he criticized the US for failing to honor its past commitments and for attempting to overthrow the Iranian government. Pezeshkian emphasized that while Iran is willing to engage in talks, the issue lies in whether the US will fulfill its obligations. He pointed out that during past nuclear negotiations, Iran upheld its commitments, but the US did not.
Pezeshkian reiterated that Iran’s goal is peace in the region, noting the country's efforts to broker peace, including in Gaza. He rejected the notion that the resistance axis in the region had been weakened, stating that Iran is more coherent, robust, and secure compared to the previous year. Regarding military conflict, Pezeshkian stated that Iran does not seek war but would defend itself if its nuclear sites were attacked. He expressed hope that war would not occur, as it would be detrimental to all parties involved.
The Iranian president also addressed accusations against Iran, including claims of pursuing nuclear weapons and involvement in a plot to assassinate Donald Trump. Pezeshkian dismissed these allegations, calling them part of efforts to spread Iranophobia, particularly by Israel. He firmly denied any intent to harm Trump, asserting that Iran has never attempted nor plans to attempt such actions.
