New Delhi: Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi on Friday reaffirmed that Iran has no intention of developing nuclear weapons and remains open to a fair nuclear agreement that safeguards national interests and ensures the lifting of sanctions.
Araghchi made the remarks after holding discussions with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, focusing on Iran–Türkiye bilateral ties and regional developments of mutual concern.
He stated that Iran is prepared to engage constructively in a balanced nuclear deal that guarantees a “no nuclear weapons” commitment while addressing the legitimate economic rights of the Iranian people.
The Iranian foreign minister also welcomed Türkiye’s diplomatic outreach aimed at promoting peace and stability in the region. He described Ankara’s efforts, along with those of other neighbouring countries, as valuable in easing tensions and preventing further escalation.
In a post on X, Araghchi said Iran remains committed to working closely with regional states to preserve stability and protect the region from unlawful aggression.
In parallel diplomatic outreach, Araghchi held separate telephone conversations with the foreign ministers of Qatar, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, and Oman. The discussions focused on the evolving regional and international situation and its security implications, according to Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
During these calls, Araghchi outlined Iran’s position on recent developments and stressed the importance of responsible diplomacy. The participating ministers agreed on the need to manage the current situation carefully, keeping regional peace and security as a priority.
Iran continues to emphasise dialogue and regional cooperation as key pillars of its foreign policy amid heightened geopolitical sensitivities.
