"WE ARE READY TO REACH AN AGREEMENT WITH THE USA" According to Iranian state television, Pezeshkian mentioned the ongoing nuclear negotiation process with the USA in his speech, stating, "We are ready to reach an agreement within the framework set in the negotiations with the USA and while protecting our national interests, but if they do not want to negotiate with us on equal terms, we will continue on our path."
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian "WE ARE NOT HERE TO FIGHT" Pezeshkian stated, "As the Leader of the Revolution (Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei) said, we are neither optimistic nor pessimistic. We are not here to fight, but we do not accept bullying either."
THE NEGOTIATION PROCESS BETWEEN IRAN AND THE USA After the USA unilaterally withdrew from the nuclear agreement in 2018, President Donald Trump sent a letter last month to Iranian leader Khamenei, calling for direct nuclear negotiations with Iran. Iran responded to the letter through Oman. Following the letter exchanges, Iran and the USA held indirect talks in Oman on April 12. The parties met again on April 19 in Rome, Italy, mediated by Oman. Both Iran and the USA announced that progress had been made in the negotiations. Iran announced that technical discussions at the expert level would take place in Oman on April 23, and that indirect talks would continue again in Oman on April 26.
