Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has reiterated that Tehran is not pursuing nuclear weapons as fresh talks with the United States resume in Geneva. He cited the Supreme Leader’s religious decree banning nuclear arms, calling it binding. The negotiations come amid rising tensions and a major US military buildup in the Middle East under Donald Trump, who has warned Iran to reach a deal within days or face consequences. While both sides describe earlier rounds as positive, deep mistrust remains over Iran’s nuclear programme and sanctions relief, keeping global attention fixed on the high-stakes diplomacy.
