All channels remain open on our part.

Speaking at a meeting with members of Iran’s Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines, and Agriculture on Monday, Pezeshkian affirmed that negotiations have been structured to fully safeguard Iran’s national rights. He added that the Islamic Republic of Iran will not succumb to pressure or meet excessive demands under any circumstances.
