Iranian lawmaker rejects Vance's remarks on Tehran seeking nuclear weapons

Iranian lawmaker Alaeddin Boroujerdi has responded to US Vice President JD Vance's comments regarding Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons. Boroujerdi clarified during an interview with the NourNews agency that Iran's nuclear program is in compliance with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. He emphasized that Iran's enrichment activities are not directed towards producing nuclear weapons and urged Washington to prioritize fulfilling its own commitments related to nuclear arms reduction.

Vance had previously stated that Iran must significantly reduce its nuclear enrichment capacity to meet US demands and put an end to the conflict. He questioned why Iran needed highly enriched fuel if it wanted to demonstrate a commitment to not developing a nuclear weapon. Vance also noted that the US was open to negotiations for an agreement but would expect tangible Iranian concessions.
