Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian took center stage at the UN General Assembly this week, doubling down on Tehran's denial of nuclear weapons ambitions while blasting European powers for reigniting sanctions. 🌍💥
"We do not seek nuclear weapons—this is our belief," Pezeshkian declared, citing religious edicts from Iran's Supreme Leader. His speech came days after France, Britain, and Germany (the "E3") pushed to reinstate UN sanctions, claiming Iran violated the 2015 nuclear deal (JCPOA).
The president accused the E3 of "destroying" the same agreement they once praised as a "multilateral triumph." 🔥 The move follows the US's 2018 withdrawal from the JCPOA, which triggered a chain reaction of sanctions and scaled-back compliance from Iran.
Analysts call this a high-stakes game of diplomatic chicken. 🎯 While Tehran insists its nuclear program is peaceful, the E3 argues Iran's uranium enrichment levels breach the deal. With tensions rising, the world watches: Will talks revive, or will sanctions deepen the standoff? 🤔💼
