President Pezeshkian says Iran doesn’t want nuclear bomb
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian flatly denied Thursday that Tehran wants a nuclear bomb while claiming Iran is willing to submit its nuclear program for international inspection, blaming Washington for the nearly seven-month war in the Middle East and accusing it of blocking diplomacy.

Asked point-blank during an exclusive interview on Fox News’ “Special Report,” “Do you want a nuclear bomb or not?” Pezeshkian firmly rejected the premise.

“Not at all. Not at all. Our martyred, esteemed supreme leader had announced several times that, from a religious decree, it is unholy. It is illegal,” he told Bret Baier, referencing religious edicts issued against weapons of mass destruction.
