Iran's president says the country opposes building nuclear weapons as indirect talks with the U.S. resume in Geneva
"The U.S. said that Iran should declare that we will not have nuclear weapons. Well, the Supreme Leader has already said that we will not have nuclear weapons at all. We are killing people? Just yesterday, the day before yesterday, the President of the United States announced that Iran massacred 32,000 people. Did we massacre people? We announced those who were killed and provided national identification codes. Whoever says there are more than this, please declare it," said Masoud Pezeshkian, President of Iran.
Pezeshkian was speaking ahead of a third round of nuclear talks with the U.S., which continues to accuse Tehran of seeking nuclear weapons.
In Geneva, Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said that the negotiations with the U.S. would focus solely on nuclear topics and the lifting of sanctions, and that Tehran’s “position is clear”.
The third round of talks in Geneva, which began on Thursday morning, will discuss Iran's nuclear program against the backdrop of a huge U.S. military buildup in the Middle East ordered by U.S. President Donald Trump.
