Iran ready for inspections to prove nuclear programme peaceful: president

TEHRAN (AFP): Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Wednesday that his country is ready for “any verification” of its nuclear programme and insisted Tehran is not seeking an atomic weapon.

“We are not seeking to acquire nuclear weapons. We have stated this repeatedly and are ready for any verification,” he said on the 47th anniversary of Iran’s Islamic revolution, which is being marked against the backdrop of military threats from the United States.
