Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on September 24 that the Islamic Republic is always ready for dialogue with international parties, but stressed it will not make concessions under any form of pressure or threats.
Speaking at a press conference in Tehran, Pezeshkian said: “We want a stable and sustainable peace, and we respect the principles of international law. But Iran will never accept being coerced, through any means, including sanctions or military actions.”
He added that dialogue must be based on mutual respect and shared interests, rejecting the “language of threats.” The statement came after several Western countries continued to accuse Iran of involvement in regional issues and its nuclear program.
Iranian officials have repeatedly insisted that their nuclear program is entirely for peaceful purposes and that the country is ready to return to negotiations if other parties fully implement their commitments under the 2015 nuclear deal.
Analysts say Pezeshkian's remarks reflect Tehran's consistent stance of seeking diplomatic channels while remaining firm against external pressure, as the Middle East witnesses complex volatility.
