Iran is not seeking to acquire nuclear weapons, but it is obliged to take care of its own security, President Masoud Pezeshkian announced this today, September 16, at a press conference attended by Iranian and foreign journalists.
“We are not seeking to acquire nuclear weapons. The United States and Europe are threatening us with stopping their missile programs. If we don’t have missiles, they will launch bombs at us, just as they did in the Gaza Strip.” – said the president.
According to Pezeshkian, Tehran never wanted to exacerbate the conflict, but Israel tried to drag Iran into the war by killing the head of Hamas’s politburo. Ismail Haniyeh in the Iranian capital.
It should be noted that this is his first press conference since taking office, broadcast on the Iranian television channel IRIB.
