Iran does not seek nuclear weapons, president says

Iran does not seek nuclear weapons, president says Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian delivered a message for Persian New Year on Friday in which he stated that his country does not want war with its neighbours or to acquire nuclear weapons, state media reports. “Our difficulties are the result of the interference of enemies,” he said, addressing Iran's “dear neighbours” as “our brothers” and expressing his intention to “resolve all these differences with you”. He added that Iran wants “to establish peace and stability in the region” and proposed “a regional security structure be formed from Islamic countries” without “the presence of outsiders in the region”.
